suggestion i dont know if this is possible but i think we really NEED a tool that can precisely tell you how ''much'' lag there is in a game(ladder) on scale from 0 to 100 0 being lan-lat or FPS or something.. (also taking in account unit responsiveness if that is possible?) Right now u can see the APM live to measure it a bit and ofc check ping/nation and see if youre workers glitch a bit but its all a hard to tell how much the game really lags..

this because right now its kinda hard to tell when you are just experiencing really slight glitches or minor lag and u prefer lan-lat games only (games with 0 lagg lan-lat between two fast connections are totally different from high lat games unit micro is so much more responsive the gameplay literately changes.)

i dont know if this is possible in a p2p game but this would mean so much for non KR users users who have to play vs poor connection players on iccup.

That's odd. Do you have DirectDraw Emulation turned on? Sc1 used to freeze for me on Win7 before I used that, although to be honest, I've been using wMode since.

i like the idea. a problem is that the latency isnt the same during a game.

Technically, Win7 freezes full-screen if you don't.

DirectDraw Emulation allows you to see the icons and latency bars but I think it also ruins screenshots.

Yeah, you should try using window mode, that fixed everything for me. It takes a while to get used to, but you must pay something to get something in return...

It's been crashing a few times over the last couple days for me too, I just restart it though and it seems ok, didn't happen with any of the previous versions.

Try first click "continue", later "restart" or "close". I guess your problems are no real crash. Please upload somewhere bugreport.txt from main launcher directory."
real problem is "application seems to be frozen"

Sometimes it doesn't activate automatically when you join the game. In that case, exit SC, then open it again. It should probably work the second time.

If it truly doesn't work, you can always go and use the manual patching from http://wdetector.blogspot.com although it somewhat ruins the purpose of using Mca.
