BUG FIXES

  • Muting your microphone will no longer cause your microphone to be turned off in the operating system once the program has exited.

  • The “Medium” graphical settings were reconfigured to work better on appropriate machines. The video settings “auto-detect” functionality has been reset as a result.
  • Added a frame rate limiter to the game menus to prevent some graphics cards from running at higher frame rates than necessary.

 

StarCraft 2 Beta has had the community captivated. And just over 1 week later it seems that Blizzard has started with the first patch of changes. Right now we only have two pieces to the puzzle while we wait.  First is a blue post from Xordiah hinting towards the fact that the battle.net outage is related to a patch.

Patchnotes for you shortly. :)

 

Another important update is an announcement on the login screen announcing part of the difficulties.  This is much of the same format as how they announce issues or updates with their World of Warcraft login screen.

StarCraft II Breaking News

The patch is now available for download. For those with Windows Vista, remember that you will need to re-unblock it with Windows Firewall if you have it active.
