So since starcraft 2 made it so you had to be connected online to play a game tons of lan players where pissed. However some players just recently came out with an awesome hack called starfriend which will allow you to actually play starcraft 2 over a lan. Its great if you just want to have a lan party with some friends instead of being forced to connect online to play starcraft 2. Here is the step by step instructions with a virus scan as well.
Now, what is Starfriend? Starfriend is a software, that enables playing Starcraft 2 over LAN (and therefore Hamachi) by emulating the battle.net servers.
It's of course still in development, and therefore there's still a plenty of bugs. In 0.54,
only 1v1 is enabled, support for more players is coming soon though. Starfriend supports latest SC2 version (
1.3.6) and
all client
locales except zhCN.
How to install and use Starfriend?- Download map cache from:
MapCache_1.3.6_New.rar- Place the map cache in
\ProgramData\Blizzard Entainment\ and in your Starcraft 2 folder (
Stacraft II\Blizzard Entertainment)
- Download Starfriend from:
StarFriendBeta_0.54.rar- Extract all the files in Starfriend archive to your Starcraft 2 folder
- Start the server, and then start the game
- Log in with username:
[url=mailto:gg@gl.hf]gg@gl.hf[/url] and password:
ggI hope, that's all, have fun.
Woops, there's the virustotal scan:
VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner(the results are probably false-positives, I tested the files myself and everything is fine)
