Versions
Starter Edition
StarCraft II: Starter Edition allows anyone to play the following content for free:
- The first five missions of the Wings of Liberty single-player campaign.
- The first two Challenges: Tactical Command and Covert Ops.
- Access to all the maps in Arcade Mode

Essential improvements
Patches
Patches for this game should be downloaded and installed automatically when the game is run after a patch has been released. Note that this requires an internet connection - you will not be able to play online without having the most recent patch, although one can always play offline if patching is impossible. If the automatic patching doesn't work, you can manually download the patches here. These contain all patches up to the latest patch number listed in one - so if you download the patch listed, you get all prior patches as well.
Third Party Tools
SC2 Gears
Sc2gears is a general StarCraft II utility for everyone who is interested in the game (either a player, a developer or just a game analyzer). Its main features are replay management and analysis for both individual replays and mass replays (multi-replay statistics). It provides easy but powerful and efficient replay management and basic statistics for starters, and advanced statistics and time development charts useful even for professional players. It is also a great asset for tournament and league organizers in quick analysis of tournament results.

Issues fixed
"Unable to download game data from Blizzard's servers"
Disable Windows' firewall.
(Note: Other firewalls may also block connection, including McAfee, Eset Nod 32 Antivirus & Smart Security and Norton Enterprise, disable or whitelist the whole installation folder for Starcraft to bypass)
Jumping/Jittery/Lost Mouse Cursor (OS X)
There are a ton of threads, that boil down to it being a problem with mouse acceleration screwing up when there is a high CPU load. The problem with turning mouse acceleration off is that StarCraft will turn it back on, even if you disable the option for OS mouse control override.
The solution is a program available here. This program turns off mouse acceleration in StarCraft II after the game boots.
Trouble Installing Game
If you receive an error similar to "The file <name of file>
could not be written", follow this guide.

Language Pack Issues

Deletion of the variables.txt file and re-creation should also resolve any issues with Region Limited licenses that have recently upgraded to Region Unlimited licenses.
Non-Steam Game Overlay
- Some people have noted issues using StarCraft II with Steam, saying that upon leaving the Steam overlay, any commands issued would become waypointed instead of directly done and the game would act as if the Shift key was being held down.
This has been found to be as a result of the default Steam shortcut to enter the overlay - Shift + Tab, which makes StarCraft II assume the shift key is being held down. When the overlay is exited, the game does not note the lifting of the shift key, and assumes that the shift key is still being held, thus creating this issue. This can be fixed by changing the Steam shortcut to another key/key combination, such as Insert, Home or Insert+Home.
