StarCraft II Mac beta client available for download

Here’s a story that’s short and sweet if you’re a Mac user: the Mac client for StarCraft II beta is now available for download. Blizzard promised💮 it would be coming in April, and here it is, with only a few days left.

As a new Mac owner, I was thrilled when I logged into my Battle.net account to find that it was available. Only problem is that the download launcher, a six meg file called “Downloader” won’t actually launch on my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.3. This, of course, makes me sad.

While my i🐠ssue is not among the list of issues popping up on the Mac beta support forums, other gamers have reported performance issues when compared to running the Windows client under♊ Boot Camp. Has anyone had any luck? Let us know!
