Open beta will start once ShieldBattery is stable and ready for the public. An exact ETA for this is unfortunately impossible to give, but expect to receive regular updates from us as we make progress. Make sure to follow our Twitter account to keep up with the latest news and changes. from the FAQ, linked in OP | ||

I can understand closed betas for commercial products where they dont want public joe to see an unfinished product and be turned off, but I dont think that would be a big problem in this community. | ||

I imagine they can't handle more idiots like me on the server. They need to recruit mods to handle the retarded BM east shitheads. But I must admit I'm trying my best to behave. OH BEHAVE.

It's really nice having people respect their ID's since they more or less only have one account. | ||

I just mean that if all the time you're on your one ID because you don't have another one, you'll respect it to not build a bad reputation, act like an asshole, etc. That and it's easier to know who is who. | ||

I can't speak to the technical side, but that's probably where any adjustments would be made if smurfing is deemed to be a problem. | ||

Extension: sbbeep2.crx Source: sbbeep2.user.js Manifest: manifest.json In Chrome, go Settings -> Extensions and drag the CRX in to install. This is just a workaround I've found convenient; works on my machine for now but wouldn't be surprised if it stops working at some stage (such as with an update, which if we're lucky might include this functionality natively anyway? :D). | ||

I saved my starcraft folder in program files (x86), but for whatever reason, the last replay would never save in lastreplay.rep. Windows 10 has a security feature that prevents even the administrator from saving files into the Program Files (x86) directory. So after playing a game, lastreplay.rep would now show up in the starcraft > maps > replay folder, which means you have no way to rename it and save it yourself. Now I believe that if you already have a LastReplay.rep file saved there already from using iccup with one of the launches like the mca64, then I believe that you might be able to overwrite that file with another LastReplay.rep, since you're not exactly writing a new file, just modifying contests of an existing one. For whatever reason, the mca64launcher has some permissions that allow it to write in that folder, so if you played with an anti-hack launcher on iccup you'll be okay. I struggled with this for a long time, but what you can do instead, is save your starcraft folder somewhere else, like desktop or documents, and the lastreplay will save, and then you can rename it, open it up in bwcharts to analyze, or open it up in starcraft.exe. | ||
