A new update has been released which has fixed screenshots in the Battle.net menus and improved the lag during gameplay. Like all the previous versions, this hasn't been widely tested yet, so report any problems you find. Link in the OP.

Just tested and wow, you guys are great! This thing works perfect and this is what we all needed these years after XP got outdated. Scan should ASAP retest it and tell his thoughts to be sure 100% that no lag.

I got another request still I know no one wants to bother with it:
Is there a way to mix this lag fixed version with 1st release (0.01) since I really liked those blurred ClearType fonts in battle.net? I will be so grateful if xboi can restore those fonts since I prefer them smooth for my eyes.

Does it lag when you start BW by simply double clicking on StarCraft.exe?

There could be a custom version for you, I think I could do that later.

Ah thanks, I will be waiting.

After testing and playing with it all day long I got 50/50 miss when I split my workers. When I run normally without file I do much well. Maybe I'm carping and searching faults unreasonably when it's my own fault failing splitting workers as I used to but when you used to play the game so long you can feel that tiny difference. That means GAME NOT LAGGING but is it still 100% SAME as it used to be? So that's why I'm asking Scan to do another test of it.

no obvious lag now but i think is still little noticable when micro? think pro player would sense it quicker. but for such good feature it is fine enough anyway. thank you and aqrit for update ^ ^

I am Windows 8 user. The newest 0.04 version is amazing, it doesn't lower FPS as previous versions and make mouse more precise i think, some of you that still feel like a mouse delay i reccomend to uncheck DWN in mca64Launcher or kill explorer.exe process while playing sc:bw.

Requesting for more opinions on if the lag is still noticeable or not.

I played some games with it and didn't notice any lag. I am using windows 7 x64.
Other minor things I noticed, the blurry fonts are still there and in general starcraft seems to have slightly changed colors to red.
It also doesn't work well with the feature from mca64launcher of being able to chat while being alt+tabbed out of starcraft. Everytime I write something, it automatically goes back to starcraft.
And atleast when using 2 monitors, starting starcraft with this .dll screws up all other window positions on my desktop.

The problem is that official Battle.net servers sends a DLL that checks for memory modifications in BW so unless there's a way around that, this fix will not work on official Battle.net servers.

Scan hasn't replied to me yet so can you test this version: http://www.bitpatch.com/downloads/war2_ddraw_minimal.zip
It'll only work on Windows 8 and Windows 10.

I use Win7 but still tested it and it didn't affect anything, everything normal like without dll but rank icons are showing up! It's very similar of mcalauncher's Emulate Directdraw option. I kinda get used to 0.04 ver. but maybe stick around with this for now because it's perfect and not touching gameplay. Thanks a lot.

EDIT: When I Alt+tab or go out to my desktop with Windows key to check smth I can't go back to BW - it crashes. Not really big deal if you don't go out of game but if suddenly you need smth, or skype call to answer you're doomed.

0.04 is smooth as butter in 1v1 on Win7, , as long as you have CPU throttling turned off. It's really impressive how everything works like it did back in XP
