I had previously wrote my problem down in length when trying to request a ticket but it seems so much just to make a ticket that I gave up and will post here instead.
Long story short I will not have reliable internet for a while, and don’t want to spend the data I do have on my laptop. I wanted to get SC2 on my laptop while I’m away from home so I could jam out some campaign or bot matches knowing that the game as an ‘Offline’ mode.
Once I had fully downloaded SC2 on my account and tried to fire it up without internet it told me that I have to connect to blizzard services to authorize it (I downloaded it from their client?), that it requires one character with purchased content (It’s free now? I bought it before it was free and the nova campaign too) , and all data files must be fully downloaded to play in offline mode (see the start of this paragraph).
I just want to enjoy and fulfill my occasional craving for SC2, I downloaded SC original which works just fine, seems like a lot of work just to play minimally with the files I have downloaded on my pc already…
