Can't you use the DDraw Emulator on mca launcher? That works totally fine for me (which is the reason I can't use this ddraw.dll on its own, either).

It doesn't fully fix the graphical problems that arises in Windows 7-10

For me, I don't have any major color issues with the mca ddraw emulator. The only thing is when being in a chat channel, my bw window turns white at random times, but a tab out and tab back in fixes this - until it randomly turns white again.
But well ... it's worth it that hangul is shown properly ^^

I used this DDraw fix.

In game, it seems "Okay" but if you're really really used to playing StarCraft you can notice a small delay of every command you make.

I tested in game vs comp, felt very delayed. No "lag" as we would think of it, but every command had an additional delay to it.

Took it off, and felt instantly better. Not worth fixing the random color errors when it will slow me down in game.


note: People have said that it is lag free. It is NOT for me. I use Windows 7, btw. Also, it feels delayed even in early game. I can't imagine playing a B/A++ rank player in late game with this fix on. I would probably pull my hair out.

I used the latest version.

I just tried a different version, the original one I believe. It seems.. a bit better. I am not 100% sure yet.

Does it possibly affect the DPI settings or resolution for BW as compared without having it? I still notice a small change, but it seemed less delay and a bit more fluid. Still testing.

edit: I took it off again after a game vs computer where I got mutalisks to test micro etc. Without the fix, my game still runs way smoother and faster :/ Almost feels like just an overall FPS drop. Best way I can describe it is like.. say... someone's streaming a game and their comp just isnt QUITE good enough for it to be 100%, and their gameplay suffers like just by a tiny tiny bit because of an overall FPS drop.

If you can't tell the difference between version .01 and .04, then I believe you're not using the latest version(0.04). Go to file properties -> details to check.

I believe so, I haven't experienced it after using this.

Another fix that will fix the color errors is closing Explorer.exe

This mod is not working for me. The issue with my game is that even though it is supposed to be 4:3, it is being stretched out to 16 : 9 (which makes the game look awful). I am using the Brood War version here http://broodwar.net/ (1.16.1). The reason I'm not using 1.18 US West version (which works just fine on my PC), is because for some reason iCCup does not work on 1.18. I am using Windows 10.

I just wanted to point out that it took about an hour or two of searching before I found and attempted this fix. It worked! I have an old 2013 ProBook that I still use from time to time and I upgraded it to a fresh install of Windows 10 22H2 and used the SC Classic installer to get 1.16.1.

I immediately had noticeable stuttering until I dropped the ddraw.dll into the game folder, and it is now running very well. I also tried the -ddemulate option and that works too, but the ddraw fix has absolutely zero stutter of the mouse on the main screen compared to ddemulate.

Amazing work!
