It does the same thing on Windows 7, the problem is that the beta was patched recently and broke everything - takes time to get that shit working again, just wait for it.
24.9.100.xxx
beta version was sent to testers i am waiting for their feedback.
for now i have to keep it close to few people, because if i release it you will start crying later why things changed, BETA is test not supported and nothing is certain for the future.
now the 6.7.2. in XP cant run any map because of a windows weakness.
in w vista or 7 with EMPTY all cache b.net AND map cache from the maps folder in your documents\sc2\...blablabla the games will work 100%!
i am gona wait few more hours for the feedback and then maybe l may post the link to the beta 7.7.2 for everyone to test but for a sort time.
official cache files for patch8
http://www.sc2win.com/starcraft-2-downloads/starcraft-2-cache-files-update/
its the same as the tools link
they have updated their site
i have vista
tried with no cache
login, exit, new cache (http://rapidshare.com/files/374127761/Cache8.zip) files with skip, no overwrite
all files Yours (http://rapidshare.com/files/374127761/Cache8.zip)
only tried with original map files
nothing works for me, unable to open map all the time
anybody else tried new files?
86.46.18.xxx
Yeah I don't think anyone was rushing you, more confused to why there game wasn't working.
76.252.225.xxx
http://www.sc2win.com/starcraft-2-downloads/starcraft-2-cache-files-update/
is your map cache cleaned?
ok i am releasing the beta,
THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR BETA!
just give me your feedback.
replays are not ready 100% in beta so dont complain about them, too much! :P
i must get some rest i am awake 26hours straight.
anyone who wishes to try can download it from here.
i would recomend ou use the new official cache files, and clean maps and clean maps cache!
only original maps plz!
7.7.2beta
plz dont spread this as a new release its only for testing and nothing more!
but will probably make some XP users very happy.

dont uploaded to other mirros this beta will be up for 10 hours only!
thank you.
Not true - clean cache, your cache, official cache, official maps, syk0 maps, doesn't make a difference, still will say "unable to open map".
Just saying so you don't think that a clean cache is a fix-all; it clearly isn't, as several people have reported.
24.9.100.xxx
got same here, tried all cache map combinaions, made them writeable, tried new beta and still unable to open map on vista
about maps folder - no cache folder is beaing created there on my system, no matter if i start with original or launcher
i noticed that when i tried start a game thru launcher, map is copied to download folder in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache\Download
86.46.18.xxx
i was having the same issues with you guys and it was all from the stupid cache files!
also remember
there are 2 cache folders one in this location
for example
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache
C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\StarCraft II Beta\Maps\Cache
and the other is a map cache folder plz try to clear them both
updated cache 8 files
if you have loading game issues and windows 7 or vista just leave the cache folders empty
http://www.sc2win.com/starcraft-2-downloads/starcraft-2-cache-files-update/
older games with older AI and bad games with 6.7.2 are broken so dont expect to be watchable!!!
there are some issues still in the beta its not perfect, but thats why we call it beta ;-)
i just perfected replays, if you play with latest cache game it will always load correctly, also i am fixing the b.net replays to be again fully supported!
thread opened again
post your feedback here!
if you do everythink Correclt then the game will lauche if you are doing something wrong (which i cant verify) problem will remain.
i am sorry i told you everything you need to do.
i cant do anything more besides improving this beta
i cant download cache update from sc2win.com , is there any mirror
i know win 7 vista users have no problem with launching game,its just xp users .i want know if anybody of xp users can launch game and can lead us
and i dont know what cache files can do with launching
im doing everything. Game starts, but it says "unable to open map". :(((((((((
77.78.62.xxx
I've followed every direction so have a couple people I know, and were still getting "unable to open map" issue. Your older launcher still works with beta 8 fyi.
76.252.225.xxx
Can't get it working.
Got SC2, ran it to update.
Downloaded the lastest cache,
Downloaded maps,
But I get "unable to open map" etc. error....

24.201.98.xxx
Is it just me with this problem? The launcher screws with my pc. It slows everything down by a bunch. "Add maps from folder" Takes MINUTES to load the correct folder. When i close the launcher i can't even turn off my pc/open other programs, have to pull the plug... I did a full reinstall of beta and followed all the steps. (xp user)
Not bitching, just asking for help because when its working its simply the best launcher there is!
84.25.232.xxx
lol dude are you seriously just going to say "well you're doing something wrong if it doesn't work?" Obviously if this many people are having problems there's something wrong with your programming. Why don't you stop talking crap to people, telling them to stop crying, read the input and fix your flawed program?
I just downgraded (or upgraded) to the 5.7.0 launcher and it launches the 8.0 SC2 update fine, so obviously it's not the patch that changed things, it's your update that is causing the problems.
If you guys are getting the "unable to launch game" message, downgrade to the 5.7.0 launcher. It works with the 8.0 sc patch as well as the 7.0 AI.
75.152.107.xxx
if you look for perfect version its 6.7.0 you can play with no problem and you can run AI 7.0.2 with that .but we need get new version to work for us
I've done a fresh install this morning of SC2 & a fresh install of ai1 7.2.2 but no mater what I do I continue to get "unable to open map". I've cleared the cache & installed the fresh cache you provided in previous posts. I've trouble shot this dead horse over & over, yesterday & today, but continue to get "unable to open map". I keep hearing that a previous version of your launcher works with the current beta8 patch & was wondering if you could link it until you fix the ai1 beta.
My system is:
OS: XP SP3
CPU: P4 2.53ghz
Ram: 2gb
GPU: nVidia GeForce 6200
Same error here,after all day copying,updating,installing,reinstalling, cache manipulation etc...."unable to open map"
Windows Pro XP SP3,but if YOU want latest version cracked, should be patient and give mr. Vernam7 some time,and understanding about his Great tool and effort!
78.157.27.xxx
Everyone who is having problems with "Unable to open map" here's what you gonna do:
1. Go to (for win7) C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\StarCraft II Beta\Maps ,and delete everything you find in that folder.
2.Remove ALL your maps from vernams7 tool ( in tab "installed maps" right click on map then choose delete).
3.Download one map from this address:
http://sc2.nibbits.com/maps/browse/blizzard/
4.Create new folder somewhere you prefer and place your map there.Do not place your new map in place mentioned in 1.step
5.Add your new map in installed maps tab.
6.Launch the game
cache in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache MUST be cleaned and then paste there the latest original "Cache0408.zip" unzipped in there!
and the map cache must be EMTPY dotn place there the cache folders
like this example!
a new Beta is coming with different way of loading maps....hmmm i hope this is the solution to you with problems plz wait few mins!
Me again:
Win XP sp3:
1."empty from files and folder:
Administrator\My Documents\StarCraft II Beta\Maps
and
Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache
clear folder SC2ALLin1
2.install SC2ALLin1_setup772BETA.exe
3.and the true Cache8 files from link
4.use original maps from the above links
>Unable to load maps.<
uninstall SC2 beta.Fresh install + update +1-4->
Unable to load maps
(no antivirus too...)may be something with localisation?
@mmk
On a second picture you only empty cache folder and i said to delete everything in Maps folder however i see your maps are still there so you didn't do what i said.
Not working for me either with latest BETA on XP. All other loaders are working except yours, so stop saying it's the cache files.
85.4.79.xxx
2 picture after 4.use original maps from the above links
after install fresh SC2 + update there is no folder Cache in Maps too...
but Unable to load maps too.. i add it manually but Unable to load maps
