Battle.net

I mean, when I think i've checked every single options window and such, and can't find it. When i try to run SC2 with no internet connection, it says I have to connect to bnet to authorise this game client - how do I do that?

I think you can't. The box should also say "internet connection needed" on the front side in the right corner. You even need the internet connection to play singleplayer!

Ah yea, i guess it says that the client needs to be authorised by Bnet because it has to be authorised every single time i run it, so yes, i can play offline but only after i log in, even if for a brief moment. Well, that doesn't bother me too much, and thanks for the reply : )

Ok, this issue needs to be made clear.
So when the game itself gives me a button "play offline", I still cant really play offline?
I mean, I logged in then played multiplayer, campaign and then exited starcraft. When I come later, when I am not on the internet, it "gives me the option" to play offline. But when I say "Ok, play offline." It say I need to activate the offline mode or something on battlenet.
So tell me, where do I activate that offline thing, that the game itself claims that it has.

All the best to the Blizzard team,

but NOT to be able to play the single-player game without an Internet Connection is by far the worst thing I've EVER encountered.

I know it has have something to do with piracy-issues, but hey... do we ALL have to suffer for it?

That really sucks! :( Fix this!

Unfortunately, as it always is, only honest buyers suffer from these anti-piracy protection methods. Because there is a cracked version on the torrents and people play it offline with no headache.

Also... I'm sorry for sounding a bit rude but.

Who the hell doesn't have internet connection these days :p

Ok, How to activate pls?
I mean, I have activated my key... now what? What I have to do?
Thank you in advice

Who the hell doesn't have internet connection these days :p

Everyone may not have an internet connection these days. When your ISP has some technical issues, for example, or your modem/ethernet dies. There are lots of way to be deprived of the internet.

yea, mobile phone modem just for activation purpose (login)

i had an issue too. i had already authenticate both key and software and i cannot play it in offline mode. plz help us guys. when i buy a game that has a single player campaign to play in offline mode then i demand to play it :(

Can someone be a little for explicative on the issue here? I mean, after registering the game on my account with the cd key, after installing and entering the main menu screen, loging in and such (but not playing since i was at work :P), I came home (hotel with crappy connection that wont connect to Bnet in-game whatever) and can't access offline mode...What did I do wrong?

If both Key and software have been activated, then there should be nothing else to do on your end.

Yeah by my side nothing, maybe you (blizzard) have to work on a patch, cause its not working! Cant play off-line, and btw when i play (online) i had crash! 6 years of develop... (im a developer) for what??? For this?

i know u have a lot of issues to solve since this is ''the'' release date, but we need to be respected too...we preferred to pay and buy the game for u blizzard but unfortunately we paid for activision :/,
try to solve it mates plz....

Thank u in advance..

Yeah this doesn't make sense an employee is not much help do we have to wait for blizz teams to activate our accounts ????

weird i bought collectors addition i cant play offline takes the mick

hold on this is rubbish Customer service a rep replies with a one line answer 1 state how to activate each one the client and key 2 be more precise in what you say "If both Key and software have been activated, then there should be nothing else to do on your end" is really not a good answer what do you mean u guys got something wrong your end ? we got to wait say 24hrs before the account registers what really i am appauled by the reps posts here.

i agree what was said above 6 years of developing something like this ?
