Mod note: It is likely that this is an internal testing version not intended to be public yet. Battle.net reportedly does not work after patching, which indicates that it's not yet "released".

Blizzard has been going around making qol changes to the legacy games. They are currently working on brood war don't know if this is the patch they are working on or not but it may be legit.

well blizzard owns that domain, but i dont think they would host patches for share on there


It's real. Blizzard has hosted patches on ftp.blizzard.com forever. I guess people forgot that since they started hosting game clients directly on Battle.net and streaming updates through the Battle.net desktop agent.

hello, I am curious what this means exactly.

-Increased turn rate to lower unit response times over Battle.net gameplay.

anyone understand what it is changing, I do not.

Incorrect.
I remember downloading 1.08 beta patch a month before 1.08 was out.

As long as I can run BW without the graphics being an LSD trip, then I'm good.

Chaos Launcher with windowed mode is all fine and cool, but sometimes I'm just a lazy mofo who doesn't want to click that much.

I already wrote this at BNETDocs( https://bnetdocs.org/news/118/starcraft-patch-1-17-0-pre-release ), but I'll copy and paste it here:


Some notes:
  • The patch introduces BlizzardError.exe and SystemSurvey.exe to StarCraft for the first time.
  • battle.snp, standard.snp, StarEdit.exe, and storm.dll are now digitally signed.
  • The latest digital signatures were signed on July 11.
  • W-Mode plugin is broken despite the author's claims that it works with any version of StarCraft.
  • Alt+tabbing out causes other windows to be resized to 640x480 resolution.
  • StarCraft's new base address is 0x01190000, old base address is 0x0040000.
  • Screenshotting in the Battle.net interface automatically saves to your clipboard instead of opening a dialog.
  • Screenshots are now saved in PNG format instead of PCX.
