StarCraft Brood War
Earlier today Blizzard released a major patch for StarCraft. The patch made the following changes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- patch 1.16.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature Changes
- In-game chat is now saved in replays. Note: whispers are not saved.
- Hitting the Escape key while in the chat room will clear your typed text.
- "/reply" (or just "/r") will send a whisper to person who most recently whispered you.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed localization issues with "from" and "to" in whispers.
- Starcraft now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly.
Exploits
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to gain minerals through mutations.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to recycle an upgrading building.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to extend their creep with a drone.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to move Drones over impassable terrain.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Terran players to drop a nuke anywhere on the map.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed players to pause the game while in the pre-game lobby.
This is an awesome patch. Most of the major bugs have been addressed and some nifty new features have been added - features that the community has asked for and will actually use. It looks like Blizzard is trying to make the change to SCII as smooth of a transition as possible.
