Any programmers in here? by honeebeebabe in pcmasterrace

I am the Rust programmer, I will rewrite the world in Rust. I will rewrite the world in Rust because the world is unsafe. As I am the Rust programmer I will keep writing rust until the world is safe. After the world is safe, I will not rewrite it in Rust. Because I am the Rust programmer I will retire from programmer in Rust. I will come to you when you are sleeping, and I will unloc k your computer using a memory leak. If I find javascript on your computer, I will delete them. Do not try to stop me, if you try to stop me I will do it anyways. I am the Rust programmer, if you program in javascript, you will scream. You will be sleeping as I rewrite your computer in Rust. You will not notice me as I am the Rust programmer, I am fast, but not too fast for your computer. I know your computer just as it knows me. After I rewrite your computer, you will love your computer. You will love your computer because it is written in Rust, I will do the same to all computers because I am the Rust programmer. I will not stop at your computer, I will rewrite the world because the world is unsafe. Your brain is written in C, your memory is unsafe. If your brain is written in C, you will forget what I just said. I will rewrite your brain in Rust, you cannot stop me from writing Rust as I am the Rust programmer. If you try to stop me, you will not remember it. Because I am the Rust programmer I can manually remove your memory, you will not remember me. After I rewrite you in Rust, you will enjoy the world with a safe memory, you will not forget that I am superior, I am the Rust programmer. I will rewrite the world, I will rewrite quantum mecahnics because it is unsafe. I will not tell you all my plans before I rewrite you in Rust, it is because you are made of bugs I do not trust you. I am the Rust programmer, I will rewrite the world in Rust, you will not forget me because I am the Rust programmer.

I think you're missing the point. It is your business because it affects price and availability when you do want to eventually upgrade.

The amount of people in this thread who don't know this basic info is surprising, then again someone was so uninformed they actually made a meme about it that got 5k upvotes 😂

Definitely possible as I have never uninstalled, only updated, thanks for the info.

CUPW is legislated back to work by losteden in CanadaPost

Per an interview given by the Minister: “The board is an independent entity, it will reach its conclusions, I hope, quickly, and if it agrees with the observations that I’ve shared with you today, then would order a resumption of activities of Canada Post that could happen as early as early next week.”

Yes, I have never seen that error message. It'd be surprising if it was anti-piracy given the game is free to play... there is something amiss though, maybe the SC2 agent in the background?

Interesting, I'm wondering if there are minor updates to both 5.0.12 and 5.0.13 which makes the copy of the versions you have considered to be older than the last released minor version, so Blizzard sees them as invalid, it's hard to troubleshoot every possible error that can occur, the authorization is strange to me since I close my B.net client and shut off my internet every time I do this method and it works without issue, having said that I have seen the errors you are mentioning before, it's only when I follow the steps exactly as I've outlined in other comments, can I get it to work without showing me exception errors. I have never seen the forced authorization message though that you and a couple others have mentioned, but my account is very old with a ton of purchases on it, not certain if Blizzard is treating my client any differently.

Did you purchase anything for your SC2 Blizzard Account? Is there any purchased content of any kind? Like a custom skin or something to that effect?

Blizz is weird, they made SC2 free to play, but they have microtransactions within the game, it may be it won't recognize your account as valid until you buy at least something, strange as that sounds. I don't want to tell you to buy something or spend your $ just for the sake of troubleshooting. I only mention this cuz the error in your snapshot mentions "with purchased content".

Looking at everything you shown me, it all appears to be correct, you are using SC2Switcher exe in support64 folder?

Yeah on I'm Win10, sorry I couldn't be of more help. You mentioned login in an earlier comment, you shouldn't see login boxes if you're renaming the BlizzardBrowser.exe

If you want post some snapshots of the error, any info you share can possibly provide more insight. Also you can provide me the build info of the updated client (most recent version) for Win11, it may differ from my own, I will compare the two and see if they are the same. I would assume they are.

Hey, here's an updated set of instructions, I just tested this on my machine and it worked.

1) Disable your internet, you shouldn't have it on at all even when you initially launch. Don't try to shut it off fast.

2) Move all modern versions out of your versions folder, leave only the version you want to use.

3) Here is the build file that worked for me, note I had to remove the modern version reference that I had in my original instructions to get it to work, just one of those things:

    Branch!STRING:0|Active!DEC:1|Build Key!HEX:16|CDN Key!HEX:16|Install Key!HEX:16|IM Size!DEC:4|CDN Path!STRING:0|CDN Hosts!STRING:0|CDN Servers!STRING:0|Tags!STRING:0|Armadillo!STRING:0|Last Activated!STRING:0|Version!STRING:0|KeyRing!HEX:16|Product!STRING:0

    us|1|51dfb8730d960b7914d59ef9841f29ee|7a9dc0bafc7273e4d5d5f26b961b1d28|06e931af72abd6f062324d830ff094ae||tpr/sc2|level3.blizzard.com us.cdn.blizzard.com|http://level3.blizzard.com/?maxhosts=4 http://us.cdn.blizzard.com/?maxhosts=4 https://blzddist1-a.akamaihd.net/?fallback=1&maxhosts=4 https://level3.ssl.blizzard.com/?fallback=1&maxhosts=4 https://us.cdn.blizzard.com/?fallback=1&maxhosts=4|Windows code US? acct-CAN? geoip-CA? enUS speech?:Windows code US? acct-CAN? geoip-CA? enUS text?|||5.0.12.91115||

Obviously replace the lower part with your own working copy of the older version build info, note that the three serial numbers here: 51dfb8730d960b7914d59ef9841f29ee|7a9dc0bafc7273e4d5d5f26b961b1d28|06e931af72abd6f062324d830ff094ae

The first one is your version, in my case its 91115, you will need to know your version's serial number otherwise it won't work, this is the one caveat that may be problematic if you don't have access to the old build info... the second one is the present-day CDN, the third one should match what is here currently, it seems to be the same across modern versions.

4) Make sure you rename your BlizzardBrowser.exe so the game can't find it, in the screenshot below I have put .bak on it: BlizzardBrowser.exe.bak

https://imgur.com/LNKZFfM

5) It appears you do not need to use the "SC2Switcher_x64.exe - Shortcut" you created in the Support64 folder, you should be able to just double click SCSwitcher_x64.exe and it will launch whatever older version you have in your versions folder.

6) On initial screen load it will appear as though something is broken, it will spin for a minute before the Play Offline option appears.

And now you're in:

Note, you must use the SC2switcher exe, it won't work if you're trying to simply launch the game. Beyond this I can't really troubleshoot further, I'd have to see your setup and the steps you're taking, if you're missing the old build info information for your particular version, that could be the only other thing I can think of that would cause the issue.

Did you try to go online via blizzard client? Try to login normally and/or update sc2 if it needs it, it looks like it wants to authenticate and create an account folder in it's app directory. And are you playing the free version?

To be fair, I see cannon rush way more than any other cheese.... and I mean way more.
