Since HotS is launched now, I wanted to start by playing the campaign. However, I don't even get to the first mission, my game freezes in the very first loading screen (after the intro cinematic), stating it would be "streaming data" xxx/xxx+1 mb (number varies, but its usually 3 digits, around 150mb) every time I try. WoL campaign works, so do random melee maps and arcade games. It shows a cancel button, which has no effect, waiting 20 minutes didn't help and pulling the loading bar to the end via drag&drop didn't work either :/
I know, this is probably a question for the official forums, but I already saw some threads there about this issue and the only suggested solutions are clear bnet cache and repair SC2, which I tried unsuccessfully. Also, we have all the brainz here anyway, right? ;)
Heh. About to ask an embarrassing question: How do I do that? Neither SC2 nor the HotS beta are listed in my start menu or the windows software list, also there doesn't seem to be any uninstall.exe, and I doubt, just deleting the folders will do the trick (considering, that the beta is not even on the same harddrive).
No Blizzard Entertainment folder in the common files at all, and there is no entry for SC2 WoL, HotS or HotS beta in the add or remove programs tool (using win7). Guess I have to clean the registry manually :/

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
Tried to turn firewall off?
No change.
@Kueken531: Go
Uninstall the Beta?

Uninstall.exe is located in a place like "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II Beta\"
It removes files and cleans registry. You can do it by yourself, just run regedit and search for "starcraft II beta", and remove those entries.
There is also settings->control panel->add or remove programs tool (if you use win xp), which uninstalls stuff based on registry info.

€ got it to work, thanks for the help :)
