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". |

You can't spoof a URL like that; you can spoof an email coming from (let's say) battle.net, but the url you see in the bottom bar is what you're getting, unless they've hijacked Blizzard's web server or your DNS... in which case, if you're malicious, you PROBABLY don't care much about an 18 year old game when there's overwatch and wow accounts to be stolen.
also ftp.blizzard is a known safe url, if you've ever had to manually download WoW patches and such
RIP years of replays T_T

Works, to be honest so far it looks awesome.. and yes it doesnt work with Iccup or Battlenet just yet but seems more compatible, more fluid and less laggy, just as if you were playing the game fullscreen on a Windows XP PC.
Hope this comes up and ShieldBattery project does too.. we may live something amazing :O

The information about this patch has been forwarded to the ICCup Head Developers.Hopefully, it can be applied asap when the real patch is out

Good point.
Still, good changes in the notes so far.

I'm not happy until they patch vultures so they start with 9 spidermines and hatch clusters of 3 mines at a time.

i thought you play protoss? Sounds like a very masochistic idea to me (;

Is there any value to this patch?

It's sick what I'm about to say, but there is no greater pleasure then watching a tank blow itself up from a zealot mine drag. I feel the pleasure will be even more intense if 3 mines were dragged into tanks. Terrans will have a harder time with positioning if more mines were littered on the field. It's their funeral if we increase mines.

fixing graphic glitches makes the game work better for win 8/10 users, the respond time improvement can perhaps Lan latency plugins, but we'd have to see.
@ BD: hehe ^^

you're wrong though, so clearly you don't

How can you guys confirm it improves the battle.net interface and reduces the delay on battle.net server if there is no server works with this patch to test with?

PLEASE LAN FIX! <3 I see so many people struggling with this issue, including myself but thankfully it works for me (barely)
Thing is my latency is 163 when I get into the Bnet or into somebody's lobby.. BUT when I create a game my ping increases to 400 LOL... @Blizzard please read this humble comment and give us a hand with an small fix :@

Blizzard can't really fix you having bad internet while simultaneously being far away from other players :\

Time to test this on another "don't give a shit" Win10 laptop and find out difference. Still if changes are only those and not affecting game when playing on newer OS, I'm disappointed.

Maybe it's because your BW IIRC using too many modifications, SC2 unit sounds, etc. Try on clean installation. EDIT: Apparently I checked log when error occured on mine too, it says I need to put BW (I deleted it) where I installed it before f.e. C:\Games. Also you can't install patch on iCCup (mini) version, need original full one.

If it does work and it's not too much work for you, mind uploading a video on the gameplay if the turn speeds feel different to you? 
I'll try.
EDIT: Wow, this fucking patch is real deal. Battle.net rank icons are showing (you can connect to Fish but can't join games), I didn't sense stuttering and lag. THIS IS THE SHIT GUYS! Stop blaming OP.
EDIT2: Actually I couldn't record because laptop which I'm testing Win10 is little netbook which is intended for basic job thus got really bad VGA so graphic card doesn't allow to record - output is really laggy. But the difference is huge from 1.16.1. Everyone with Win10 should try out, only blind won't see comparison.
EDIT3: Also wanna point out that map FS isn't loading for some reason. So patch is still raw.

When the patch gets legitimately released, someone star the OP for all the troubles he went through
