How do you deal with mouse sensitivity in bw? When i enter broodwar and start playing the sensitivity is so high cos the resolution is so low. It makes it REALLY hard to play both BW and other games.

I play with acceleration off and 6/11 in windows and 1200 dpi on mouse. Do you just change the dpi and get a different sensitivity or is there some kinda chart that shows how much 1200 dpi is equally in bw resolution or something?

It's okay if you play in windowmode but everything is so small then...


In game, basically just start a random custom game vs a comp and you'll see mouse sens under options, play around to your heart's content.

Give a quick google or TL search, windows 7 is known to have color issues with bw.

i think he means cursor sensitivity. to change cursor sensitivity, use a chaos launcher you can alt tab in and out while adjusting to get your perfect cursor speed. google chaos launcher

Actually, the iCCup launcher has the chaos plugin. Just open the settings and change your mouse sensitivity there - it changes your sensitivity just in BW, not in windows. For screen scroll sensitivity (mouse/keyboard), you can change it in the in game menu.

StarCraft tab in iCCup launcher -> Turn on Chaos Plugin and Latency Changer -> Settings... next to Chaos plugin -> Mouse tab -> Use different mousespeed in StarCraft -> find the sensitivity that you're ok with, usually it's better to have lower than too high sensitivity

Ok so I have downloaded this client and played about 10 games. Now I ask myself why even bother? I've played this game many many years ago and was halfway decent at it too. I now play SC2. My problem is the ladder system. In sc2 it matches you up with someone your skill level or close to it. On BW although there might not be so many returning new players most of the players are 10 times better than you, so you will get stomped over and over again. Maybe If I buy the full version atleast i can switch around to the different servers and maybe find some new returning players? I love BW as I did those years ago, but must I really spend X amount of hours practicing/watching replays to even win 1 measly game?

That's a really good question. My suggestion is to play some fun/casual maps instead of laddering. I played BW for about 4 years online before playing a single ladder game and I had loads of fun. And to be honest, I still after all this time don't really have fun laddering. Maybe try some team games.

If you have an ATI graphics card try switching to the power saving card in power express. You could also try windowed mode.

You can always... find... the music and play it in a media player. Or use youtube playlists. Or buy the OST! (not sure if there is one or not).

Also, getting a legitimate version will have music playing normally.

Is there a posibility to play on ICCup while using the .bat file to fix the color issues ? because in the iccup launcher you can only choose the .exe file to launch the game.

There is another fix for the color issue

Run http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/starcraft/scbw116_x86.reg if you're on 32-bit Windows; http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/starcraft/scbw116_x64.reg if you're on 64-bit Wndows

I don't think that works for localized versions of Windows and seeing that guy is from Germany, I'm pretty sure he has a German version of Windows so I doubt it'll work. You can still try though.

I remember these files fixing the color issues for me, but they seem to be down now. Does anyone have a copy of the 64-bit file I could get ahold of?

EDIT: The problem seems to be Firefox. Clicking on the links in Internet Explorer lets me download the files. I wonder what's wrong with Firefox...

Try another time should be okay.

I'm trying to watch Stylish's FPVoDs and the audio is so broken up that I can't actually listen to them. Is this an issue with the VoDs, or just me?
