Really? I have no idea what exact model Mac you are using or version of macOS (I don't even know how many various model Macs exist, but I do know that there are twenty major versions of macOS/OSX. I am not even certain which StarCraft game you are using since there are at least two of them 1 & 2. Plus I am not sure where you got the app (App Store, Blizzard, etc.).


You also did not explain the exact issue you are having with StarCraft. "I'm having trouble playing Starcraft" may mean you cannot install the game, or perhaps launch the game, or perhaps the game glitches, or perhaps you have no idea how to actually play the game itself (aka don't understand the gameplay or rules).


I hope you can finally understand that you have not given us any useful information to assist you which is why I provided the link to the article in my previous post. Did you even read that article? Here it is again:

You don't give any specific details for anyone to assist you.

You should check out the Blizzard StarCraft forums & tech support to see what issues others may be having with StarCraft on macOS. You are more likely to find answers there since gaming issues usually unique to the game itself. Games are always tough to troubleshoot since they are taking advantage of the system in ways most other apps never do.

Users are " Entitled " to ask Technical Apple Questions


Uses are " Entitled " to provide meaningful details, context and reliable Technical Details directly related to the Issue at Hand


Though, depending on the amount of or lack of technical details, context.


Addition questions need to be put to the " Author " of the question in-order to drill down on the issue


Sometimes, additional suggestions on writing an effective question may spring the recipient in to " Working With Use " versus Against use


Remember, these Forums are User to User Forums

Well, I'm bowing out here since you do not seem to want to do any work to help yourself out. Participating on any forum usually requires the OP to do some work as well, but you don't seem willing to assist us in assisting you since we have no new useful details about your StarCraft issue. How do you expect to get any useful suggestions without clarifying some of the important details such as those I took the time to spell out for you even after you seemed to have ignored the very useful link I provided to assist you in that endeavor?


Good luck in your search for answers.
