In addition to the patch there was another topic posted about classic chat API:
Chat Channels are a defining aspect of the legacy Battle.net experience. Modernization efforts have or will limit functions the community has created over the years. That's not acceptable, so Classic Games is excited to debut our official Chat API Alpha. Mark 1 of CAPI is now available for testing on the PTR. This first iteration allows for interactive bots. With your help and support we will expand the feature set over time. Specific Changes & Improvements Ability to chat and whisper across all classic games A valid legacy account with registered email is required to register a bot - see instructions below for more details Only one bot per Op or Clan channel Known Only USWest is enabled How To CAPI specifications and registration instructions: https://d8un0y0mnd29o.cloudfront.net/public/Chat Bot API Alpha v1.pdfTest web app and stub server: https://d8un0y0mnd29o.cloudfront.net/public/Chat Bot Demo Alpha v1.zip

Sweet, loving these rapid updates for the BW ! 
|
Wow, bots! This will be a feature that bnet has over the other servers. And the fact that you can talk to your friends playing other games.
|
Are anyone else's units freezing up sometimes and refusing to move? Several time snow my Dragoon will be stuck in one place not moving at all.
|
another update? a hot fix?

From what I've seen, this is the only control related bug they're trying to fix in the remastered version. The way to fix it is to press hold position and then reassign your command. ;p

Usual goon behaviour, has been like this since forever. If it gets stuck, you have to press "stop" or "hold" for them to start responding to your commands.

I feel like marines get stuck more in 1.18 than in 1.16, especially if you are trying to focus down goons or something. Anybody feels like this too?

There are plenty of chat bots for 1.16.1

When will they fix that ugly looking bnet in fullscreen mode?
Bnet experience is ok as long as you don't try to whisper someone...
And numpad isn't working as hotkey anymore... I was using it...
At that rate maybe we will have a decent patch by August.

Improved mouse sensitivity parity between Fullscreen and Windowed Fullscreen
Still not the same. That hard to apply a screenHeight/480 multiplier?
|
I also feel like units get stuck more often in 1.18

I can speak from a lot of experience when I tell you things don't work that way. On ShieldBattery we do exactly that on our fastest mouse speed setting, and most people will tell you that it's faster than their fullscreen 640x480 speed. We ended up adding more granularity to our setting so that people that want to match the setting can get a bit closer, but I'm sure it's still not exactly the same. I don't believe Windows completely turns off acceleration even when 'Enhance pointer precision' is unchecked (at least for versions of Windows past XP), which thus results in mouse movement somewhat depending on the resolution of the display with which it is interacting. You *could* utilize raw mouse input instead, but this 1) wouldn't feel the same either and 2) is a solution better suited for FPS games than it is for RTS, imo.

Is low Hz(125) or low dpi (400) of mouse a thing in 1.18? I tried so many settings, and none of them is even close to what i had in 1.16. I heard from people that for now window mode is recommended, but it's super blurry or pixalization for me, depends on if i tick or untick that one option from game settings...

Can blizzard add a checkbox option for in game mouse sensitivity? Also, pure full screen issue hasnt fixed yet.

of course, it's an engine thing though so i don't think it would be possible to patch out.
edit: also asl is still playing on 1.16

I don't know if you are joking but 1.18 bnet is far better than 1.16.
Faster map downloads, auto refresh on the games list, far better resolution and no annoying colour glitches.Literally a few chat commands is all 1.16 has over it and they will be brought in soon.
