Hi, ive been tried to run Starcraft 2 for a few days with no success. i press play in the battle.net app and i see that the SC2_x64.exe runs alongside the SC2Switcher_x64.exe in the taskmanager but the game window doesnt open anywhere… I tried deleting everything including all sc2/battlenet folders in appdata/program data etc… nothing seems to work.
Would appreciate any tips, thanks
similar problem but i have nothing in taskmanager. just push play ad after some seconds launching switch back to button play and i cannot open SC2
windows 10. other games woks only SC2 not works
Did you get the issue fixed? I am having the same issue.
nope:( i wonder if its the latest patch or not
I am also having the same issue on my desktop and even after updating SC2 today it’s still not working.
Tried uninstalling battle.net and SC2 multiple times and nothing changed. Even tried disabling DSR.
I have no idea what the problem is as SC2 runs fine on my laptop its only on my desktop there is this problem. Both run windows 11 so its not that.
I have the same issue. I click Play, it shows launching for 3 seconds and then nothing happens anymore. Taskmanager shows Starcraft is running. I have updated my Geforce card driver. Tried scan and repair, uninstalled SC2 several times. Nothing works. I assume it’s the latest patch.
same issue with me? solution sc2 support team plz.
got the same problem but did not find a solution yet. tried to open a support ticket. Seems like many have this problem.
Unfortunately I#ve got the same issue and none of the latest small patches changed anything…
Same issue here. Started after latest windows updates for me.
Same here. No way, tried to change mature language setting, disabling windows firewall and same result: click on play → launches sc2switcher.exe and ‘Star Craft II’ process but nothing appears.
Create a new shortcut with this in the target box:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Support\SC2Switcher.exe”
and this in the start in box:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Support”
God bless you <3
Has anyone resolved this yet? Still looking for a fix.
Try to Reset In-Game Options this is at battle.net settings/ game settings StarCraft II. For me worked.
None of these things worked and I still can’t run.
I guess it’s free because it doesn’t work 
Wasn’t exactly free when I paid top dollar for it some years ago
I fixed it on my desktop (Win 10).
It was a screen resolution problem. I have 2 monitors, the main one is 2560x1440, the secondary one is 1920x1080.
On fresh installment, the game launches on 1920x1080 and for whatever reason, the graphics card (RTX 4070Ti) won’t allow it to display on my main monitor (2560x1440).
I had to switch between my main and secondary monitors in Windows display settings to first access the game.
Then I simply changed the resolution of my main monitor to 1920x1080 and switched them back in Windows.
Thus I was able to launch the game on the main monitor and change its resolution to 2560x1440.
Then I changed the monitor’s resolution back to 2560x1440.
So now it works as expected.
