Guys, I don't have this issue because I finally bought the game..
However, I'm told you can disconnect from the internet, then start the game and you're okay.. Or, block it with your firewall (SC2.EXE) and you'll be fine.
Let us know if it works.
In the future, before you update, make sure there is a working crack so can avoid such issues.. the patch made no changes to the game balance, or any major issues for that matter, so updating was kind of dumb on your part but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you updated by mistake or something..
@FootMan2K: i tried to do what you suggested, but with no luck...
But what puzzles me the most is that nobody is talking about retail cracks in the forums. Has Blizzard managed to mind-control everyone to buy the game or what???
I haven't tested this, but it sounds like it should work :
Downgrade from an existing install of 1.0.3 to 1.0.2 1. Google the 1.0.2 update files (SC2.patch1.0.2_zyberakuma) 2. Download it. 3. Copy and Paste over existing 1.0.3 files 4. Re-install Razor Crack ( he means the keytro , its just a registry edit ) 5. Start the game with the SC2Switcher.exe in your StarCraft II\Support folder
( For blocking Blizzard you can also use IP blocking programs such as peerblock with a blizzard list or other similar programs ) The game does not currently check for new patches / call home if you start it with SC2Switcher.
If you are doing a fresh install 1) Install the game 2) Let it autoupdate to 1.0.3 and run it once. 3) Overwrite all the files from zyberakuma archive. 4) Run sc2_copy from the RZR crack and then the keytro. ( F2 key to patch registry ) 5) Start the game with the SC2Switcher.exe in your StarCraft II\Support folder
These instructions belong to swebarb & VGAdeadcafe on nfohump forums, but there is nothing exotic about them and I cleaned them up a bit.
@kaloc: I tried both of the methods, but none worked.
Here's what happens:
1. I run keytro, the key gets written into the registry. 2. I go offline (disable Local Area Connection). 3. I run Starcraft II.exe (guest mode not working) 4. When I look in regedit again, the key dissappears.
I guess that Starcraft II.exe or SC2.exe deletes the key. I suspect it's Starcraft II.exe, because it doesn't exist in the zyberakuma archive.
sc2er : After using the rzr keytro or importing a key into your registry, try starting the game with the SC2Switcher.exe in your StarCraft II\Support folder. The zyberakuma archive does not include a StarCraft II.exe ( which is a launcher ) for the base folder, but it does include a version 1.0.2 for SC2Switcher.
If it works, just be careful to either change or delete your current shortcuts for sc2 because they probably point to the launcher. Create a new one that points right to SC2Switcher, that is, if you're into using shortcuts. (SC2Switcher does not check for new patches)
Deadfish is a spy .. he works for Kotick !! .. ahh j/k ..
Deadfishbuy the game, so much easier to play and enjoy it.
Deadfish, not all have the money to spend on PC games, hence it is more suitable for the wallet to play cracked games. And thus far I have got all the fun from them that I need. All the money I spend on PC games is paid to Blizzard anyways, since I pay for WoW. Were SC2 cheaper, I'd pay for it, but paying 997EEK (or 63.7 Euros) for it is not an option. Especially with a martial arts instructor's salary...
Deadfishthen why do you play it?
People play games for various reasons. If he does not like the fact that LAN is not supported, he can still enjoy the single player campaign or skirmishes against A.I. As far as LAN RTS games are concerned, there are other games to play in LAN so this can hardly be the main reason for playing SC2 for most people. Many, like myself, play the game campaign because they like the story so far. And I'm a tad dissapointed that zerg and protos campaigns aren't there to play yet, but come as seperate expansions which no doubt will cost as much as the original. (Yet another reason to play cracked games).
Would Blizzard make the game cheaper they would earn a lot more from it. Or atleast make games cheaper if people have already supported them by playing WoW for several years or got original SC&SC Brood Wars. Kind of unfair to demand more and more money from those that have supported their cause.
So I wait and hope that razor or skidrow make the new crack soon.
This game isn't worthy at all. If it wasn't for WoW milking we would have polished and awesome game with all people asked features and we wouldn't be talking about pirating it.
Actually bud, the owner of this site is now discouraging the forum to be talking about cracks and such.
We have not been mind-controlled, but zeeg is *trying* to run a legit site. He has begun running nVidia contests and everything.
Don't get me wrong, I crack most games that are able to be cracked, just got done downloading Mafia 2 (shitty) but the thing is, this website is not www.sc2cracks.com [nor do I know if there is a sc2cracks.com haha] it is a website about SC2 Maps, Replays and Resources and Articles(News)
And it is not just about SC2 infact, check out the WC3 and SC2 forums. They are fun too.
Well, as a matter of fact, just to add my 2 cents -- that idiotic razor as typical epically failed so their crack didn't work from the beginning on *thousands* of computers.
Most likely an issue related to several network interfaces on the system (though not exactly proven).
So not only 1.03 broke things, there was pretty much situation for many even before that.
Hi guys,
After updating to v1.0.3, every offline crack stopped working (Razor, SC2AllIn1 etc.)
With Razor, the guest accounts disappeared and with SC2AllIn1, the validation issue occurs.
Also, running keytro.exe again does not help.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Yeah, finally somebody mentioned it in the forum. I also hope there will be a new version of the retail crack.

THIS may help you too..
Just buy it.

Lol, I got it for my Bday, but it's def worth the $60 I know money is tight..
Just reinstall with the internet off.. you can find keys online.
Block SC exe with firewall in windows or on router w/e
Find the original day one patch on google.
Install patch, install crack, call it day and play SP, >> THEN BUY IT ITS WORTH IT
I won't buy it because blizzard showed disrespect to users when deciding not to support lan.
Well, now even after a clean reinstall, with 1.0.1 or 1.0.2, the cracks don't work. Guess Blizzard modified those patches too.

Both campaign and skirmish (with SC2ALLin1) work fine.

Awesome, hopefully this works!

i have 1.03 working, no problem. Here's what i did to work
1. Install SC2 (didn't patch, cancelled)
2. Downloaded 1.03 (corresponding, mine is enGB) patch.
3.Downloaded crack from here
4.Copy all files from patch to install folder and replace
5.Opened SC2 from desktop.
I think that other cracks dont allow u to save,as i didnt try them . I just heard rumours,but this can save and load easy
THE END
i did what u said and yes the game launched but i have no sound at all do you know any way how to fix it will be great
87.69.216.xxx
was the sound already fixed?
112.201.157.xxx
Sry, i dont have a clue about ur sound problem. It mostly not be related to the game.
i found how to fix the problem i changed my speakers setup from 7.1 to stereo
and the sound reappeared
