Found a bug, boss!

[image loading]

Are you on Windows 7 and did this occur after alt+tabbing?

I thought I showed you this alt tab bug 3 weeks ago on skype?

Yeah, I'm looking to collect additional reports and information.


Can you tell me what did you change to fix the blury fonts?

blury fonts

I'd be interested in hearing specs from people who have blurry fonts...
OS,
desktop resolution,
graphics card,
desktop dpi (if known)
languages other than english?
ddraw.dll version

um... whats the bug?

not fullscreen ?
alt+enter (once or twice) should change it back to fullscreen... ?

or missing name?

Aqrit changed the code to disable anti-aliasing in 0.02

It's custom Windows font smoothing, basically antialiasing for your fonts. At such a low resolution it just makes fonts look blurry.

blurry fonts

on the StarCraft.exe -> properties -> compatibility tab
select the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"


I'll try a more aggressive approach to disabling this in the next update...
apparently the dpiaware.manifest included in ddraw.dll does nothing,
so instead I'll try calling SetProcessDPIAware() directly.

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.


Once Aqrit is here to fix blur I beg him opposite to restore blur for latest version, if it's not difficult for me like I quoted above. Thank you a lot.

I actually asked because I want those blury fonts back

I heard they were fixed in version 0.2 and remained fixed in version 0.4

So I'm wondering if it is a possible to get a version with the lag fix but with blury fonts.

Bumping because this is the best tool released for BW in the past 4 years in my opinion!

It's really awesome, give it a shot if you haven't.

Whoa! Just decided to check back in on the Brood War world and saw this awesome thread. Aqrit's DLL works perfectly!

All BNET menus display properly now, and I'm not seeing any performance impact whatsoever. If only we could use this on official BNET servers. That would pretty much be perfect.

So now I'm trying out ICCUP since it allows me to use this DLL, but I'm finding it to be a bit less active for UMS play than US East/West. Seems like no matter what I do in my attempts to play UMS maps consistently online there is always some kind of compromise. If only everyone who likes UMS could agree to jump over to ICCUP.

There's like a gajillion UMS lobbies on Fish, but I am not a big fan of UMS.

And wtf people still play Bnet servers!? Last time I went on there were like 20 people

That would be insanely fantastic if it ends up being possible. Best of all worlds.

IMO
1. Any new official patch is practically required to address this issue.
2. The anti-cheat is not there to be circumvented.
