New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on February 14, 2022) follows:
Starcraft II is a real-time strategy video game that was launched back in 2010. Developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, the developers have added several expansion packs to the game.
The game follows in the footsteps of its predecessor and revolves around three species, namely the Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss.
It is set four years after the events of the Brood War and explores the life of Jim Raynor, who leads a group of insurgents against the Terran Dominion.
That being said, Starcraft II players are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) that they are unable to log in to the server with the game saying that Battle.net is down.
However, it looks like the outage is limited to the Blizzard Americas server with many saying that European and Korean servers are working just fine. You can see in the image below how the error message looks like for those affected.
Players are frustrated and are wondering when the problem will be fixed since the servers have been down for almost a week now.
Thankfully, Blizzard Entertainment has commented on the matter and said that they are aware of the issue where Starcraft II players are getting Battle.net down error.
However, they did not share any timeframe on when the server will be fixed.
Rest assured, we’ll keep an active track of the developments on this one and update the story, as and when required.
