yeah

Uhh, reinstall >_>
(seriously it'll probably work)
Sorry to hear that. Bugs happen, even in blizzard games I guess.

im hesitant about doing that because of the reinstalling of patches and other complications from reinstalation.

That's really weird.. Have you tried simply restarting your computer? Sometimes does the trick and saves a lot of effort.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Sie_Sayoka on 2006-11-01 at 01:18:19

reinstalled and restarted to no effect.

Ouch. Have you done anything differently with your computer lately?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Sie_Sayoka on 2006-11-01 at 02:00:48

no and i checked if any files were modified in my starcraft folder. the only thing i can think of is being banned and i have never used hacks or anything to violate the agreement.

That's weird man, if you want try using this CD-Key to install it

I've gotten that error before. It was due to an issue with my CD key.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by xmrxsiegecopx on 2006-11-01 at 13:45:42

That error usually happens when a StarCraft installation is incomplete/corrupt or when a third party program or code/script interferes in some form with Battle.Net connectivity (such as viruses or hacks).

Same thing happened to me, and ive been wondering about it. What the fark is going on bnet!!?!

Apparently it's happening to me too... ;(

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Sie_Sayoka on 2006-11-03 at 16:02:34

it has to do with the IP adress(possibly) or just the computer. I used my other computer and i can get on fine so we can rule out cd key, version, and account. I sent a report to blizzard and i will tell you guys what it says once they reply... if they reply.

well heres what blizzard sent me

Hello,

Thank you for contacting the Blizzard Entertainment Technical Support department
with your Issue. My name is Chuck and I will be assisting you.

If you are receiving an error message that says "unable to identify application
version", then your game data may have been altered or corrupted in such a way
that Battle.net no longer can determine if you need the patch. When you connect
to Battle.net, it will check the version of the game you have installed and
patch the game to the latest version if necessary. If Battle.net cannot
determine the version of the game you are running, then it will not allow you
on. Only the latest game version will be able to join Battle.net.

First, just to rule out any type of connection problem and to make sure you are
not getting a false error message, please try to join Battle.net a few times in
a row. Also, make sure you are using the correct game CD in your CD-ROM drive.
Any programs or patches that allow the game to run without the CD in the CD-ROM
drive are not supported and may cause this error.

In addition to third-party programs causing this problem, a virus may alter the
game data and prevent you from joining Battle.net.

VIRUS CHECK:
Please make sure that you are using the most current update for your virus
detection software. If a virus is detected, you will want to clean the infected
files, not delete them. Deleting the infected files could cause serious
problems with your system. After you have cleaned those files, the programs
that were infected will most likely need to be re-installed in order for them to
work properly.

If your virus detection software is not able to detect or clean the infected
files, or if you do not have any virus detection software, then please try a
virus scanner listed below:
(Windows) http://security1.norton.com/us/home.asp
(Windows) http://www.leprechaun.com.au/
(Macintosh) http://www.symantec.com/consumer_products/home-mac.html
(Macintosh) http://www.networkassociates.com/us/products/home.htm

REINSTALL GAME:
In order to restore the original game data files, we recommend that you fully
reinstall and patch the game before trying to log onto Battle.net again. You
may wish to back up your saved games to another directory before uninstalling
the game. Now reinstall the game and download the patch from
http://www.blizzard.com/patches/. Now you should be able to log into Battle.net
again.

If the "unable to identify application version" error happens again, this
indicates that the game data is continuing to be altered and a virus may still
be present on your system. You may need to contact your system manufacturer or
your local computer technician for additional help cleaning the system.

Thank you,
Chuck S.

As impossible as it may seem, it can be. Much more helpful then the response I got when someone used a cd key generator and got my cdkey and stopped me from playing. They wanted the box to be present.. WHY WOULD I KEEP THE BOX FOR 3 YEARS.

I did some digging on the issue at Battle.Net Open Tech Support and came across this topic:

Apparently, it seems that some sort of trojan that came as a result of using 3rd party programs activated on November 1st and modifies the StarCraft EXE, making it unidentifiable by Battle.Net. Here's the fix:

Are you sure this thing works? It wants to delete UnSpyPC and something else, and then it wants to install something else.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Doodle77(MM) on 2006-11-05 at 09:59:21

UnSpyPC is spyware...

Report, edit, etc...Posted by dumbducky on 2006-11-05 at 10:20:35

Hmmm.

I ran the program, rebooted, and got an error log. BW doesn't seem to have changed at all. Third party programs were supposed to be the cause. Does that mean I have to delete them?

It gave me a report log, and said it created a new Hijackthis log(or whatever it's called). Here's the report log.

Fixwareout ver 1.003

It's most likely because you're using modified game files to try and play. Blizzard recently put in a protection against that so you can only use their versions of the files. For example, if you are using the Bigger Game Lobby patch, you need to delete that file replace it with the old version. If you are using BWL, you need to download the latest update for it. CDKey changer will also give you the same error.
