OMG, what are you talking about? I use mac everything was working (compared to Diablo 3) all time. Ofc when patch 1.5 came out I was waiting for 15-20 mins(for download and optimize) but after that it was good. And in 1.5.1 nothing freezes. Also I haven't downloaded SC2 since it come out. I have now 10.8 instead of 10.7 but its also haven't affected at all. I have iMac 27 3.0Ghzx4 i7, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Video. Everything going well and smooth on ultra settings in 4x4 games with 2650x1440 resolution. and my Mac is late 2010 for info.

Is there a way I can download the MAC version of this patch in some way other than blizzard updater?
I mean, a torrent file, or a separate download link?
Blizzard updater simply doesn't work anymore on my MAC, I have the "internal error occurred" issue that so many MAC users are experiencing.
That issue prevents my client from patching through the blizz updater, and if I can't patch it with 1.5.1 what will bring the fixes in?
Blizzard please put and end to this shameful mess you did on MAC clients with patch 1.5 and let us play again!

FOR ALL MAC USERS, cmd + click short term solution

Compliments of IceShade from the NA forums

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/6293819652?page=1

I think I have a temporary solution...

1. Go to system preferences

2. Under hardware select keyboard

3. Go to modifier keys

4. From the top drop down menu select apple internal keyboard / trackpad

5. Make the command key control

then in the controls menu in the game uncheck "Swap control for command box"

The new patch did not help a bit get rid off the lag. IT sometimes even lags on low settings. I had no problems, playing on high on the last version. This is simply stupid. Why did they ruin the good working game?

Command-click now properly issues a right-click command to the game.

WHY! WHY! WHY! - Blizzard I'm deeply disappointed at this change, there was no problem to begin with, you have now created a problem. Command-Click is what we MAC users, use to quick select all similar units or buildings. It's been like that for ages, now you just go ahead and change it, makes no sense.

I understand that it has something to do with using a one-button mouse, so why not make a list of options form the "Controls" panel where we can choose the functions of these key combinations.

ie You gave us a choice to use cmd as opposed to ctrl, why not give us a choice between functionality as well?

Thanks, I hope you are reading this and please take into consideration all the MAC users you have just affected. I have just played some custom games using ctrl or double clicking and it is horrible, messed up my entire game,

Please FIX ASAP!

Hello there,

Ever since the new patch arrived and installed on to my computer my starcraft 2 has completely stop working. I have tried everything even re-installing it. I cannot open the file and every time I do I get a message please install patch and I click yes! But that's it it stop and its like on a loop and keeps asking me to install patch and I click yes again and again and again..keeps giving me the same questions but doesn't do anything else.

I need my game back so any advice to fix these problem I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks
Dennis

I've always played SC2 in english, but since this patch it keeps switching to german, no matter what. Ive uninstalled it multiple times, and the best i can do is for it to be in english on the first run after a reinstall, as soon as the second time, once the patcher came up, its german again. Why cant we just choose the displayed language, instead of being told what language to use?!?

Now when i have downloaded Patch 1.5.0/1.5.1 it hasn't crashed and i'm very happy with this Patch, Don't understand all this complaining, Be happy that Blizzard made starcraft II and give them some complamements!

The patch is made to take care of the problems and sometimes there are problems with the patch.

Great Job Blizzard but it's only two things I would like to have in the Profile: Wins in the season and Your lifetime Wins.

>> Command-click now properly issues a right-click command to the game.
But where in the world is Command+click a right-click? Usually it is ctrl+click !!!
And I was happy with how it was before.. Because I am using a mouse with (at least) two buttons, even on a Mac, I mean if you like to play starcraft, and you wanna move your units, set waypoints and so on, you want to use ctrl-click for that instead of right-click? I don't think so.
What Bug now occurs: I told the settings to swap ctrl and command key, so using control groups works with command key and still works. But if you like to select a unit and all of them of a specific kind, for you Windows users it's doubleclick or ctrl-click on the unit, for me it was command-click on the unit, which now doesn't work anymore. When I change the "swap keys" back to ctrl, it works with ctrl, but I prefer using controlgroups with the command key ... So now I need to change my habit to doubleclick the units i want :(

Same problem for me cmd-click is the same as right clicking, not "select all units". This is so annoying! any way to change this?

@peshay: Hi - I totally agree - I can't believe Blizzard did that - it makes no sense. The ctrl key is small & further away than the cmd key which is much better to use - Now WTF!!?? I can't play properly anymore & I don't see why we have to change our habits, it must be a mistake, why cmd+click for right click cmd??!! I hope Blizz realises & fixes ASAP!!
