Also, Window mode with ICCUP launcher is laggy. What can I do other than getting a tiny monitor? you need to set fixed aspect ratio in your graphics driver. if you dont know how to do it, post your graphics crad type. | ||

I think its still under-development so don't call it "useless" just yet. I think its better to put your specs so that he can fix it. I've played broodwar on W7 and never had problems with it except the color problem. | ||

I also can't exit from Bnet, even Ctrl alt deleting it takes forever, and doesn't revert back to proper res. I have this problem as well and I'm also running win7 64bit. | ||

the bnet issue is actually the most complicated to solve. i'm trying to combine forces with some more experienced developers, so that we can provide a working solution. no exact schedule promises but please stay tuned.  --- | ||

suddenly, i don't have much time to work on this "solution", but perhaps later on. posting here to quote someone else who has already done this and reveal partially the magnitude of the issue: The directdraw simulation <snip> is very primitive, it was about one week to put that together, another week was implementing the <snip> window and the mouse capturing. Then it took another 2 months from morning to night to put toghether the megabrutal hack that drives the bnet interface..." <snip> "...So basically it draws on the screen with both direct access and with gdi32 that is the ugliest UI rendering code (read sc:bw bnet interface) I have ever seen in my life." i'm going to leave this person anonymous, since i didn't really get permission to quote him. but as you can see: - blizzard wrote very badly their windows sc1, diablo1 bnet interfaces and i agree completely with that after seeing whats in there myself. - time is an issue. p.s. testing with different gpu's, so far shows that capturing fullscreen with VScrCap (x-split tells that its based on it..) is graphics driver related as well (e.g. old ati catalyst works, new does not work). so i think this means that if one can capture sc:bw fullscreen he/she might be lucky. | ||

No point in reinventing the wheel... http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=25534 OP's fix is an entirely new and better solution - assuming he fixes the few issues. Still no fix to the b.net menu rendition problem?  | ||
