You have to look in your finder and go to repair, and run that tool, and if that doesn't work, call blizzard customer service.

I haven't been here in a while but anyone knows if it's still possible to download the patches from this site? I need to rebuild my rig and I don't want to wait after the download & update after installing the game. Just curious... Thanks in advance for any reply.

I have three systems (two PCs / 1 Mac). All of them needed to have their drivers updated. The Mac was playable but I lagged out of a few games.

After updating drivers I am having 0 issues.

@Giovanny: It's weird, but it worked for me. Open up Internet Explorer, go to internet options and click the advanced tab. There should a button that says "reset". Click that, wait for it to finish and then try running starcraft.

Dear Blizzard,
Do you not want us to be able to play? Because saying so would save me a lot of frustration and clicking "send" on all your error messages.

A Quick Guide For Those Having Problem With This Patch
Manually Turn Off Anti-Aliasing from your graphic card, Set FPS from Variable.txt
frameratecap=60 (In-game FPS limit)
frameratecapGlue=30 (FPS limit for the battle.net user interface)
That's what I did and it worked for me.

@Prophet: try removing your firewall or maybe add an exception. I use peer block and it blocked the update. I was going through the same exact issue you are describing.
