I'm having a problem getting BW to work via the ICCUP launcher. I get the following message when I select "Play Starcraft:Broodwar":

Version Mismatch in file "Starcraft.exe" : expected 1.16.1.1 but was 1.15.2.1


Seems like I need to update to the correct version, but I'm not sure where or how to do that. Any help is appreciated <3

Edit: Nevermind; found it... x.x

Basic Guide Addition Itinerary;


  • March 10th - PvT Guide
  • March 24th - ZvP Guide
  • April 7th - TvP Guide
  • April 21st - PvP Guide
  • May 5th - ZvZ Guide
  • May 19th - TvZ Guide
  • May 26nd - PvZ Guide
  • June 2nd - ZvT Guide
  • June 9th - TvT Guide


These dates are rough goals. I really hope to be faster than this...but it's also possible life will get in the way and it will be slower. The general format of the guide will be to lay out a relatively safe, standard build in each MU; cover common early/mid game builds/playstyles the opponent can do and offer some responses to each, and give a very, very general layout of how to consider playing the lategame.

The purpose of this is to give beginning players a decent build in which to begin learning the game, and enough of an understanding to know why they died/how to defend common opponent attacks and timings.

Hopefully included with each will be some short VOD's/descriptions of how to micro and control in certain important situations.
EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

I'm trying to join games, but it keeps telling me "unable to join." I downloaded ICCUP Maps v2.1, but its still just showing in winzip. Do I need to do something special with them?

I'm sorry for being so needy, but I don't know shit about how this is all supposed to work. I followed the guide in the OP, but clicking "join game" isn't working T.T;;;;;

you updated your version to 1.61? If you're unable to join, make sure your map pack is unzipped and in your starcraft maps folder. You should be able to simply join up on games though and if you didn't have the map you'd be able to dl it. It sounds like there might be another error going on.

Edit: ok, so i am actually in a game right this second, but my screen is tiny window... how do i fix this lol ; ; may have to just leave out.

edit 2: well, first game was terribad lol. gg'd out when he sent some vultures (?) and killed my marines. Then I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to surrender lol ; ; ;

Might have booted you for a number of reasons...perhaps he was hosting a game for someone else, your lag might have been high, he might have seen your stats as 0-0-0 and thought you were a noob, perhaps your anti-hack was not on etc.

But before you hit the ladder....try to play against a computer and try to beat it, perhaps utilizing a build from liquidpedia. Will lead a better game experience for you and otherrs...and you wont be giving free ladder points :D

The bw liquipedia is amazing to learn the game, pretty much all you need.

The window being small......I assume your using the launcher to start the game, in that make sure that windowd mode is not on.

hey thanks. I figured out the windowed mode and was able to play a few more games. I'm so blown away by how different it is compared to SC2. Its insane how dummy proof they made it compared to BW. I find myself struggling just to get my scvs mining and making units lol ; ;

Hi, I'm a master in sc2 and i started playing scbw. Surprisingly, Im very good at bw and Im sure i could be D+ easily.

The only reason why I started to hate scbw is because of the latency bug ... And I dont know how to open my port 6112. Can you make a guide of how to remove this bug.

Please don't hate on Gyro.
I meant the others should not hate on you.

If you're on a home network and have access to your router, just google "How to portforward on " + whatever router you're using.

If you're using a work or school network, then you won't be able to get it fixed from what I understand.
EffOrt. That is all.

This is true; though some universities will do it for you if you explain to them the issue and why you want the port forwarded.

I'm glad you got it all figured out ^^. A lot of people would have given up a lot earlier haha.

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with connecting to iCCup. I downloaded the reg file and the anti-hack launcher. I get to the gateway screen, and can choose "The Abyss (iCCup)", but then in the connecting process when it gets to "Accessing Account" it just takes me back to the gateway screen. I've updated to 1.16.1 and I'm not sure exactly what to do.

Any ideas?
