I posted over at battle.net, and someone said to post here, so here it goes..

Found out three weeks ago I got into the beta, hooray hooray, jump scream, all that (not quite, but internally..) downloaded, couldn't find my copy of war3.  Reinstall a couple times, it works.

Patch 300 causes war3 to "unexpectedly quit."  Try a thousand or three times, reinstall a few more, it works.

Patch 301 causes kernel panics at or less than 6%.  Oh, the pain...

I call tech support, they say "reinstall."
Email support says "reinstall."
Channel support says "reinstall."
None of the above listen when I tell them I've done that in excess of 15 times, along with removing those 6 files.

Then I had the brilliant idea to install a fresh copy of 10.2 onto my iPod.  No dice, still doesn't work.

Now here's where I am:

I reinstalled and deleted everything, upgraded war3 to 1.05, then upgradeed through the beta installer to v299.  Downloaded v300 with very little pain, and tried v301, which works as well as asking Saddam to show us where the chemical weapons are.  One tech support guy said to try and stop/restart 301 download every 3%.  I did that...15 or 20 times, and once I got to 20%.

Now, since Blizzard just tells me nothing useful and won't give me a standalone patch, I'm wondering if anyone would be insanely great and give me a place to find a standalone download of patches 301-307.  I can prove I have a valid CD key...I'll send a pic of the main screen if you care.

I'm on OS X 10.2.5, G4 733.

God doesn't like me.  Or He doesn't like the beta, but other people can play it.  I guess He just doesn't like me.  That sucks.
