Starcraft 2 Beta Installation

How to Install Starcraft 2 Beta?

This is a step by step tutorial on how to setup/install/download Starcraft 2 Beta. You don't need a beta key for this, and it's pretty simple to do! But listen up carefully, so you get it right the first time!

First thing's first, You'll be the game client. If you don't have it download it here:

Megaupload
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BZZAAXPN SCII.part1.rar
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4JHYKEW5 SCII.part2.rar

It's about a 1GB, so depending on your speed it'll vary as to how long it should take to download.

Once you download both files, you'll need Winrar to extract the files. Get a trial of Winrar here.

Open the folder after you have extracted it. Install the game labelled SC2 Beta. Let the game update itself after you have installed it.

After you have installed it, go to the folder that you installed the game in. You'll now need to install the AI package in order to play vs the AI.

Download the AI script here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mvdktjwodyq

Open the AI folder, and copy the icon that's included in the mods>sc2 liberty mod folder.

Go to the folder that you have SC2 Installed and under the same folder name that you got the AI, copy and replace the existing one on your computer.

Once done, you'll need the lazy launcher which can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mon3ntwhit2

Your almost done, extract the lazy launch application with Winrar.

Last step! You will finally need some Starcraft 2 Maps! You can google these (Just type in SC 2 Maps) or go here http://sc2.nibbits.com/maps/ for maps.

How to Play the Game

1) Open Lazy Launcher

2) Choose a map that you have downloaded from the above site or any other website that has SCII Maps.

3) You should get a loading screen, after you have done this!

4) Enjoy!

Note: Some maps might not work! It does not mean you did anything wrong, it is just that the map is somehow messed up.
