It downloads the files just fine, then writes them, but just as it finishes instead of letting me click play it resets and tries to downloads the files again. The files are already there, so it goes through this step quickly but just goes to rewrite the files and follows this loop ceaselessly. I have already tried running the PTR as an administrator and that didn't work. Any suggestions?



Thank you. Rise Up!

Anyways,



1) Close the update window from the PTR thats looping

2) Re-run your MAIN client. That way it dl's the new update for the patch installer.

3) Go to your sc2 main folder and delete the "Test" Folder.

4) Go to "My Documents" folder and delete "StarCraft II Public Test" folder.

5) Re-run the PTR test server and it should start dl'ing and eventually work properly.
