Weird to see a move to a move to a standalone client so suddenly, the ability to do everything in the browser made it feel really modern.

I'm sure you have good reasons though, did you face any major challenge tied to web development or was it just oh fuck it javascript is stupid let's change before it's too late ?

Speaking as a tester, especially recently, there were a lot of problems with the service recently where an unexpected browser update would make shield battery incompatible with its own service program. Getting a standalone while keeping the browser chat program allows for a lot more flexibility, especially as the features get more advanced (more OS compatibility, window changes, auto mm, and hotkey layout adjustment)

It's mostly cutting out the middle man, and the new thing feels discord esque even more now. Worrying about which browser it worked on when was a complete hassle over the last few weeks for me.

My window size is set to 1680x1050 which is the size of my monitor, and I have maintain aspect ratio on. But in game the sides of my monitor arent used by bw, and the aspect ratio is skewed from Broodwars normal aspect ratio. Why/how do I fix that?

Occasionally what happens is that if you guys live really far away, the server locations aren't very good, and there's a massive amount of travel the signal takes, this kind of thing is hard to prevent without having more servers around the world.

I've struggled with people with some people from Australia in the past. Do you or the person you were playing with get lag with other people? Just so you can try to isolate the problem.

Sometimes the game doest start from the frist try, so I have to push start button once more. And today we encountered some lag, although both me and my opponent had everything closed, and extra high lat didn't help too.
What could be the reason for these?

Is there any way of having Shield Battery save your window position or is it something you can implement at some point? My window keeps opening mid of my monitor and blocking my notepad haha.

Australia is a likely problematic location atm, South America is too. We don't currently have servers in either, so if the people they're playing are also far from the available servers, there's a larger likelihood of lag. We'll get servers in both eventually, but there aren't enough players for it to be worth it at the moment. We'll also add some latency info ingame soon so that you don't have to keep guessing who you're having trouble with


Tough to say without seeing logs. Hit win+r, type: %AppData%/ShieldBattery/logs and hit enter. Go to https://gist.github.com and drag the log files from there in, and hit 'Create secret gist'. Then send me the link to them (you can PM me here or whisper me on ShieldBattery if you'd like)
