Sometimes I cant get into SC...I try to log on to Battlenet and it gets to Accessing Account and goes back to the connection page...but sometimes it works. How do I fix this??

Hi Stephen,

I'm not sure why this could be happening. Try emailing Blizzard tech support at support@blizzard.com and see what they say.

I bet I know what's happening. It's done this to me as well. You click 'OK' after selecting your Gateway, etc. Tips I reccommend.

1. Restart Brood War//Starcraft Original.
2. If the above doesn't work, restart the full computer.
3. If steps one and two don't work, just wait a good... Meh.. 10 minutes? Usually by then, it works for me.

I don't know what causes it, but it's basically like the 'Invisible game' glitch on B.net. You know, where you join and quit a game really fast, and then no games display for like 2 minutes? But yea, try those tricks, and it should work.

P.S. Don't E-mail Blizzard. Last time I did, the first thing they said was 'If you have downloaded any third party programs such as maphacks, this could be the sourse of your problem.' -.-' Basically, that means they scanned my account for Maphacks... Which of course, I don't use, but still, the first thing they look for is maphacks... o.O

I ahte the invisible game glitch. You also get it if a slot closes as you join the game, or if you get banned and you try joining again, or if you get booted, I think.

Well a lot of times it does that if you get kicked off of bnet for flooding (it happened to me once) what you should do is go into your starcraft folder, and delete the .dat file called bncache, it is completly useless, and gets very large very quickly (it erases current information on being kicked from bnet and/or banned/booted from peoiples games) and even if that isnt the problem, you should still delete it anyway, cuz it takes up a lot of space.

This "invisible glitch" happens when you get kicked off of battle.net for some reason. To fix it, the easiest thing to do is wait.........(at least 5 mins)........... and then it will work.

On step 3 you said wait, but it takes me more than one day.
The last game was just my friend and I, and I don't have any hacks, although he may have used some. Either way, he was able to log on later while I was not.
