Common Problems

I own SC2 but don't know how to download it.

All current Battle.net games are managed using the Battle.net Desktop Application. This downloads, installs, patches, and launches all of our current line of games. 

To install StarCraft II:

  1. Download the Battle.net desktop application
  2. When the app has installed, log in using your Battle.net e-mail address and password
  3. Click on the StarCraft II icon on the left hand side of the page
  4. Click on Install
  5. The game should install and patch. 
  6. When the game is playable, the button will change from Installing to Play

If the previous troubleshooting steps didn't resolve the problem, you can ask the Blizzard player community for help on the tech support forums (if available) or other community gaming sites. Local computer or network technicians may also be able to help if you've exhausted all other resources.
