Wow, they fixed a lot of stuff already. Nice!

New Battle.net background. Seems homely and reminiscent of the old background
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jh2LFKm.jpg?1)
The pixelation issues in windowed fullscreen were also fixed for me. The game looks like classic BW or 1.18 fullscreen.

Now just move the channel/friends list a little to the right, center the chat box, and move the join / create / channel buttons to the left side

Map downloading is SUPER fast now.

Couldn't find this in the notes, but it looks like you can move slots (in the same group) in the pre-game lobby again! Time to go splurge on some UMS!

Is there a way i can change my language settings? I messed that up

Nice to see our voices are being heard. Also what he said :D

There's a new graphics option called "Bilinear Filtering"
I'm not sure if it was there before. I think it wasn't. Default is for it to be turned on, and the game looks like old BW that way. Turning it off makes the game look pixelated in Windowed Fullscreen like in the last version of 1.18.

Awesome to see how fast these guys can crank out a huge QoL patch. Can't wait to get home and play!

Does anyone else run into the openGL problem? Before this update, I had no problem starting the game but after updating the PTR, I now cannot as it said "Unable to initialize openGL."

I'm using intel HD 3000 and my driver is latest. The thing is, I was running it fine before this PTR update. My friend is having the same problem with intel HD 3000.

all we need now is a value by the sensitivity slider so I can play anywhere I want to knowing my sens setting.
oh, are we hanging out on op teamliquid? or elsewhere?

Lag, at least for me, has improved big time with this patch. I'm in Toronto and quite some distance from the California server. Most of my games prior were so laggy they were unplayable. After today it's like they added an eastern server or something. Even 4v4 bgh games are lag free.

Unit control isn't lagging for me anymore. Sick patch.

There are still huge issues with replays and hosting.
Like 50% of the time someone has hosted a replay, I cannot see or join it. Other people I know are experiencing this same thing.

server location has nothing to do with ingame lag, as the game is still p2p. (unless blizzard changed that)

Does anyone else have an issue where you cant load most of the auto generated replays? It says the filename is too long.

Just tried the update.
Encountered 3 problems.
1. When installing it my antivirus detects an adware and suspicious files (it happened with last PTR build too).

2. My units group controls hotkeys 6 and 8 are still not working (it was already the case with last PTR build) making the game unplayable. TT
3. Hotkeys being case sensitive. Bug has already been mentioned.

They're investigating the case sensitivity bug, and it's a known issue that keys 6 to 8 don't work on AZERTY keyboards

Still feel sluggish to me, but nice update nonetheless

looks like they fixed the replay names being too long as well
|
they fixed the pixelized issue which is good, but in windows mode mouse is still laggy, and in fullscreen bnet is still ugly.
Also i just noticed that when i used hotkey on the numpad it brings me to my hatcheries on first hit :/ its not supposed to do that ok!!! wth. I should be able to connect by double clicking on the gateway server too. And I can't send msg in game lobby with alt - s

Fixed mouse speed in windowed mode
Not for me sadly ;(

It will take another week for Blizzard to release the offiicial stable 1.18 version for Starcraft

New background sucks. Old one was way better.
And the biggest bug still not fixed - player colors not showing on the top left side in ums maps
|
I like the changes.
You know what would be cool? Having different skins for the bnet UI and being able to switch between them I can only dream.
I really liked that one Bnet UI made on photoshop submitted a little while ago by someone here on TL...

chat looks way better, nice change

Chat looks waaaay better now, all it took was a different background image, glad they've chosen not to be super stubborn about that.

they apparently changed, from what I hear, and from playing, it seems it's true. it first tries p2p, if it fails, then it tries something else (don't remember what), and if both of those don't work (or work poorly), it'll route your connection trough the server.
it's an awesome thing. good work blizzard.
when they fix a bunch more of the bugs/problems, it'll be amazing.

Is there a widescreen support yet?

I'm glad they corrected the map download speeds and the lag, but when playing it feels a bit more sluggish than normal. Not a huge problem though, so I'm happy with 1.18.

it is improving though

New battle net seem better now! They mixed old and new together and I like it!
|
I like the new UI, it feels pretty classic to me, but in a new way.
|
With this new patch i actually have the pixelation issue AGAIN. In neither mode the game feels as sharp as it was on 1.16. Disappointing to say the least.
|
this patch improved lot of things,but there is one pretty important that isnt fixed,i set ctrl 1 to my lings,then i shift unselect some of them to split while i micro multitask in protoss base,it doesnt work,it left all the lings in the same ctrl,sometimes ctrl show an old ctrl,no idea whats happening,and this error also with fkeys,sometimes instead of showing my expo it shows old location in main.and a funny one,i was making 9 mutalisk,pressed F10 to check an option,pressed ESC,and one egg exploded LOL
latency,map dl,the old search categories etc,everything feels very good,im happy :D
|
Does anyone have a solution to the weird mouse lag/acceleration problem in 1.18? I have no issues of that kind in 1.16.
|
At least they put in some actual maps, though bad maps still remain. The game 'feels' slightly different, but I am not sure if that actually means the engine has different cone. We veteran players are just so sensitive. Once it is wide-screen, there is just something that is off.
|
Anyone know how to change language after installation? If i re-run the installer it install in the previous language without prompting ... :/

Is the game running in windowed or windowed fullscreen? Try changing it to regular fullscreen.

This. The input lag feels way worse in 1.18. If you cycle through hotkeys fast it sometimes skips back to the previous hotkey. Say I double tap 3 but it jumps back to as If I was double tapping 2. Same with F-keys, I set F3 to expo and then I go F2 back to mainn then F3 and I'm still centered over main. Adding units to your ctrl-group with shift is also a mess, feels like half of the time the units won't be added to the group or the game selects the previously selected hotkey.
Say I cycle through 1-3 which are all units real quick. I see room for more units in group 3, I try to shift-hotkey them into the group, select them, shift + 3, the game jumps to ctrl-group 2? Even though I pressed 3. Wtf.

True, location hotkeys are different for me too. Don't want to relearn everything again T_T

They should add an option to change the game's language ingame. Also add the different language default hotkeys to the hotkeys profile!

Msg them about this and add your specs!
I'm curious about what exactly they've learnt from Fish server.
They've clearly spoken of and shown an understanding why these servers were made, what they provided the players with. So they want to make a ranking system. They want to add a matchmaking system to make things easier for new players.
But what about all these lag issues. I've personally never played on Fish but them having their own server means they must have their own launcher, that will probably mean that they' similar to Chaoslauncher have e lan-latency thing going on. And if the classics team have been in talks with community people they must know how important lan latency is for this game.
Well we're in the beta realm, all this good research they've done means that they know about this. But I'm surprised by the lag issues that has been around, hope it's not forgotten.

Shift attack move doesnt work anymore

Just noticed this too.

Am I the only one that prefers the game *without* the bilinear filtering? It just feels intentionally blurry (which is basically what it is) with it on - I much prefer the sharper pixels without it.
I guess it's just a matter of preference. I never play with any filters on old emulators and such, either.

Haven't had the occasion to try 1.18 yet, but really happy to see that Blizzard seems to really care. My faith is almost restored.

Shift plus any key doesn't work anymore, because it makes it uppercase. This is a known issue that has been reported on the official forums.
|
Does anyone know if they fixed the spawn position bug for 1v1?
It's annoying enough to have to close all obs spots each time you host, closing an additional 2 when using melee is even worse.
|
yeah i also noticed something fishy when cycling through hotkeys fast
|
Urgh. Ran really smooth in windowed mode for like 5-6 games now the mouse is REALLY sluggish no matter window mode/Full screen. Really annoying. Does anyone know whats causing this? I had this with 1.16 but mcalauncher fixed that so never experienced it with ICCup past that.

Is Vsync on? My mouse is horribly sluggish with Vsync, but feels normal with it off.

I am getting huge stutter lag when I play after this PTR update, My internet has never been an issue played fine before this update now I cant even play with myself and a computer on bnet because of lag, anyone else have this issue ?
|
Somewhat unrelated but after installing the PTR now I have a "mDNSresponder.exe" process running, located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Blizzard\Bonjour Service\mDNSResponder.exe.
Someone knows what's up with that?

Why we need this new layout? I really want back old layout+ cool old SOUND when you join to channel or bnet (deep dong)

That's interesting. mDNSresponder is actually Apple Bonjour, which is the zeroconf networking service used by various apps like iTunes and Skype.
Are you sure it came with the PTR or could you be running another application that uses Bonjour like iTunes?

man there is some serious performance issues on my laptop. this is obviously requiring way more CPU or something because it plays like I am underwater.
MCA64 launcher and 1.15 play like a dream, no problems at all. just reporting. have a nice day friends.

Someone knows what's up with that? That's interesting. mDNSresponder is actually Apple Bonjour, which is the zeroconf networking service used by various apps like iTunes and Skype. Are you sure it came with the PTR or could you be running another application that uses Bonjour like iTunes?
Well the folder it's in is from blizz. I have the same and I don't even have skype or iTunes installed.

Interesting. Makes me wonder if Blizzard has replaced part or even all of the old netcode with Bonjour.

Can't update except with the standalone, if I use the standalone my hotkeys/game interface is German by default and I can't change it except by changing every hotkey one by one...
Fuck me.

I found this fix that let me re-select the language in the installer
1) Uninstall the game
2) Delete the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Classic Launcher\s1t registry key
3) Reinstall. The installer should prompt for your desired language.

I had to use regedit to find and delete that registry key.

man there is some serious performance issues on my laptop. this is obviously requiring way more CPU or something because it plays like I am underwater.
MCA64 launcher and 1.15 play like a dream, no problems at all. just reporting. have a nice day friends. Have you tried enabling the framerate limit in the graphics options?
Yes, I have on VSYNC and down to the lowest limit. Thank you though

now it works on win7 64!
something I noticed:
on french keyboard, the 6 control group was not working, the others seemed to be working fine but not that one at all ;; but there is a nice improvement, we no longer need to stay in caps lock to use control groups with french keyboard (azerty), this was bad especially for writing messages during a game ^^

Anyone have any idea how to change the port it runs on? I saw in the corner of battlenet is says UDP 6112, but I have 2 people in my apartment who want to play starcraft and we want to pop one over to 6113.

It will take another week for Blizzard to release the offiicial stable 1.18 version for Starcraft
Personally I'd rather they take even longer with more iterations and release a quality stable release. They released this update in a week, I think it's going to be fine.

Does anyone have a solution to the weird mouse lag/acceleration problem in 1.18? I have no issues of that kind in 1.16.
Try disabling the option "vertical mouse synch" (or something like that) in game. It worked for me and my mouse is just as precise as before.

jesus i know its minor but that caps lock hotkey issue is frustrating when you dont realise it

When I try and open the game I get an error box that reads "Unable to initialize OpenGL. Please Verify that your video card drivers are up to date.". The problem is that my drivers ARE up to date. I have literally no idea what to do, anybody have any ideas?

That is really weird.
Try using a different browser and log out of your battle.net account.

I dont understand but 1.18 always overheat my laptop... I can play 1.16 without problems but with 1.18 i turned frame rate limit on but still anyone have solution for this?
|
Can someone please help me? I have installed the German version of 1.18 by accident and then uninstalled it to get the English version. However there is no more option to select the language. Is there some files i still need to delete? I tried searching anything starcraft related on my harddrive but still when i use the .exe i will get the German version.
How to get the English one? t_t

I apologize for my English. The combination of commands via the SHIFT + button does not work. Please let us know in support of Blizzard.

I am still unable to play online. How do I go about checking if my router is blocking the ptr for some super odd reason? I have allowed it through windows firewall and disabled all third party firewalls. Never had a problem with any other game and I can normally host just fine on iccup.
"The selected network provider could not be initialized"
I ran ccleaner and removed all my starcraft related registry entries and reinstalled yet i get the same issue.

Anyone know if they intend to implement matchmaking/a ladder on the battle net servers once this goes live, or what?

They want to implement matchmaking into classic BW around when the Remaster releases

Damn they are going fast now. I'm guessing the "Fixed an issue with 3+ spawn point maps" means that you can host 1v1 on 3/4 player maps without it always being the same spawns.

Improved International Keyboard support
Nice, so I don't need to reassign everything again :D

I have the exact same issue, integrated GPU, it's very basic as far as I know but it runs 1.16 fine.

Yup. They're fixing it. Supposed to be fixed this patch with the lowered openGL requirement but it brought up other errors. But I suppose this issue is high on their priority list because a lot of people with intel HD 2000/3000 are complaining as well. Hopefully they will put out sth quick in the next days.

Anyone else having trouble hosting games? I didnt last version but this one even my friends cant join. Ive resorted to the old "join a room with a friend and both leave" trick. Its much easier if you have a voip instead of waiting for a chat message and trying to type in the room name to enter before it fills up lol

Anyone experiencing the game "Upgrading" every time you quit and go back into Battle.net? The version # reported is the same... I upgrade, launch and can play, but then a few hours later the whole process repeats.

Run the game as admin once and connect to battle.net. After it's successful, you can close the game and run it normally.

- i still cant do games like test12345/12345 it still errors out i have to do latters ... anoying
- fullscreen is still unplayable since to mouse feels like floating on water, so you have to play in windowed fullscreen
- graphic card still goes crazy like its killing pigs on steroids while its not going hot (a problem for new graphic cards with old games, still with 1.16 there was no such problem) it basicly makes it impossible play without headset and also scares me to destroy ma graphicscard
- we still need a name/password enter field to join replays fast, also we rly no need see passworded games so maybe a filtere here would help too

In windows, control panel, mouse properties there is a thing called Enhance pointer precision. Try turning it off. Some games use this setting instead of forcing their own.

Update graphics card to latest driver.If that still doesn't work then your gfx card is incompatible with the version of OpenGL Blizzard is using in 1.18 and you need to switch a different card in.Mostly affects cards 10 years old and up it seems.
