It is a one time check that only occurs when connecting to the server, many people circumvent this check by loading their hacks after logging in which is very trivial. Any circumvention tool at worst would only save hackers 5 seconds from alt+tabbing out to inject their hacks and at best would make your DLL a very viable solution to this graphical issue. Yeah, I don't see how antihack is an issue. Private servers accessed via mca64launcher have better anticheat mechanisms than official Bnet servers, and this custom DLL works with them. Am I misunderstanding something? | ||

It is not okay to break a rule and hide from the rule enforcement, even if there is no malicious intent. If ICCUP decided to drop clients using this dll, it would not be okay to hack it past its anti-cheat either. | ||

And lastly- when I use your .dll file method, Korean font/text in game stops working. But once I take the .dll out and go back to MCA's the korean in game works fine (can change my keyboard to english or korean). EDIT: Actually, korean works in channel. Doesn't work in game/lobby. But if using MCA option it works just fine even in game. Any idea on this ? | ||

I've never been able to read korean with or without this .dll, but there's a plugin that allows me to read and type in-game. Downside is you can't load custom plugins into MCA as far as I'm aware so I only use it with wlauncher. Download link on the side to right http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Korean_Mode | ||

This is the first time I'm even testing the .DLL and only now has my korean disappeared. I've already gotten rid of it and just usnig mca and korean working fine again. Means that something in this .dll causes korean not to work anymore. | ||

Is there a way they can implement this to all not only lobby. | ||

All the reports around this issue seem confused... and I've no reports from someone using only my hack. (aka. their system language is set to Korean and they're not using wLauncher, or anything else ) This shouldn't be an issue on win8/win10 with the "minimum" version of my hack, but that might have *more* performance issues at this time. | ||

So you're saying you're not sure with your .DLL or you just know it won't work with your .DLL? EDIT: Yes, my system language and all this is set to korean. That's how it works fine when using MCA. EDIT 2: Interestingly, korean in game works on Fish using your .DLL. But doesn't work on ICC. lol | ||

 AFAIK: wDetector has a built in fix for this, for w-mode which (afaik) operates in some ways similar to my dll. | ||

It's known to only fix the latency bars and rank icons in the Battle.net interface. This DLL is unofficial but fixes the graphical glitches seen in the Battle.net interface on Windows 8 and above as well as the latency bars and rank icons.

From what I see in Korean Mode's source code, this is as far as it goes using the method it uses. | ||

The .DLL also fixes the 'white screen' issue. I think many of you have been experiencing it as well - where you're in a channel and the screen goes white. You have to alt-tab to fix it and it becomes quite annoying as it happens very often. I found, from my experience, that the .DLL also fixes this issue but the DDraw in MCA doesn't handle this issue. I'm using the DDraw in MCA though just because Korean works in-game when using it (on icc). | ||

One way to fix this issue would be to hook GetBitmapBits() then simply convert each black & white line from 32bpp to 8bpp (but keep the same pitch) Invasive hooking doesn't really fit in with what I want in this project though. Any thoughts (xboi et al.)? edit3: could stuff it into the korean mode plug-in and just have the hook check the color-depth at run-time... though the suggested "fix" might be too sketchy for that. edit2: nvm the nvm I forgot to test in 32bpp color mode, I still haven't tried it... --- apparently, ddemulate just passes the DDCREATE_EMULATIONONLY flag to DirectDrawCreate. | ||

It'd make more sense to include a fix in your DLL since it breaks Korean text. | ||
