Greetings Commanders, Cerebrates, and Executors,
We're proud to announce that StarCraft will be patched for the first time in over 8 years today. The patch will go live at 2:00 PM PDT.
When patching, please use the ‘Run as Admin’ option; it is required during your first client run to migrate saves and avoid issues from Windows system admin changes.
StarCraft will be free with this patch as well. We'll add a link here when the patch is live.

No hotkey remapping, rip me and my wrist.
|
I somewhat fear that it'll be in the same bad state as it was in beta :X
|
Hooray, windowed mode.
Alt+Enter is the greatest.
See you all online.
|
Man sucks there's no key re-binds. Was going to play at a LAN this weekend but I just can't get un-used to my SC2 hotkeys. The rest is nifty, cool to see such a major patch after so long!
|
so "units getting stuck" bug and valkyrie sprite limit do not get fixed in 1.18
T_T
i decided its better to stop this post here before i go full sarcasm/rage.....

So no custom hotkeys and no bugfixeds for units like dragoon or valkyrie.
I can only guess that the Korea provided feedback about both and they decided to pull the changes :/.
|
So good thing they asked the koreans.

if that only was true.. but they never said theyre pulling it, it's still work in progress.

Can we have a liquibet for how long it's going to take for 1.18 to die and everyone go back to 1.16?

I don't know where 'Korean feedback's are from, except that when Blizzard initially gave press release, they said after talking with people within industry and former progamers, etc etc, they all agreed that fixing the dragoon/valkyrie issue is a step forward.

I'm so tired of this debate

Wasn't the freeze bug already fixed in the ptr? Or maybe it will be fixed with SC:R .... maybe only for those who by SC:R :O

Not possible it's only SC:R, remember bw and SC:R are the same game, you can play together !
|
If they pulled their fix for stuck dragoons it is probably because it was breaking other things unintentionally. I think people are reading into things too much though. Hotkey changes may be back when they have a better implementation of it.
|
I would love it when they published it as a standalone executable, so we can have both a 1.18 and a 1.16.1 (for ICCup) client. Dunno if I will patch my starcraft if it isnt a standalone 
|
I'm guessing it wont be going on the bnet client with an install from there? I would also like to preserve my 1.16 install.
|
We did it reddit! We're launching into orbit!

for safety reasons, backup your bw folder before patching
