Sreenshots from 1.16 and 1.18 both show the mouse cursor, which means they both use a software cursor. Screenshots from your Windows Desktop do not show your mouse cursor, because of a hardware cursor.
One has to wonder if there are even people at the current Blizzard remastered team that play SC BW, including the patches they release.
And didn't they say they have like a huge team of people? Is there no one that was once D+ on iccup/E on Fish that is in the California area, speaks English, wants to have a career in gaming?
You only need to hire one person like that, maybe two at best. Even part-time is possible But they have zero?
2. In single player the default speed is normal instead of fastest, very annoying to have to chance every game.
that's not a bug, that has always been like that
Just because it has always been that way doesn't mean it isn't a bug.

Indeed. It was already a bug when Blizzard had those 'joke setting' employee's, refusing to put the original ladder to 'fastest'. How long did we have to moan and complain to get it changed?
But at least those people understood the reasoning for limiting the number of units one is able to select.
blizzard hire me please. i will make BW great again! Siege mode removed, only 1 storm x templar,need to make science vessel base to start upgrading your marines. but the most important,lets remove walls! signed by: The son of Kerrigan. cheers,Pete.
So far in playing 1.18, it really isn't so bad. It's basically the same... you just have to get your right mouse settings, figure out if you'll use mouse scaling option or not, etc etc. Once you find your settings, it's all good.
I'm a 300+ apm player so for me, one thing that I've noticed that is "bad" are some unresponsive keys. For instance, quickly making a gateway using "BG" on keyboard, sometimes it's annoying because it doesn't register the "G." I think this will only be issue for higher apm folks who press it so fast. I believe Bisu has commented the same on this issue and so I'm sure it will be fixed sooner than later.
Another issue is, the LATENCY doesn't feel like "true LOW" ... more like "high latency" (well, slightly better than high). This is a very minor point and I personally don't care because it's not really noticeable. But I can see why Pros would think this is a big point. I think blizzard commented this will be fixed but this one will take a while to do.
Outside of gameplay, one glitch I found is in the channel/chat interface.
one friend has me added in F LIST, he can see i am online if he does /f list.
I have the same friend added, but when i do /f list it says he is offline. So it's something weird with no registering certain people in friends list... anyone report this issue yet?

It's noticeable for people trying to muta micro who are used to at least #L2.
Do you get ladder points for playing vs someone 2 ranks lowers then you (for example C rank vs E rank)? I started a game but there was a weird korean message (in red) in the lobby and i didnt get any + // - point info at the start of the game, usually it says if you're gonna get +25 pts // +40 pts // +50 // 60 pts etc.
I love these new special maps, you get +50 points per win on Blue storm, makes you rank up so fast. You get -40 pts per loss tho, kinda like playing BW russian roulette :D
I found a bug and its kind of nasty, if your units attack something and that you click on diplomacy button and then close the window clicking "accept" your units stop attacking

You can't play 2 ranks below anymore if I understand it correctly. It's to limit abuse, obviously.
Only rank(s) that can play below is... S can play 3 below and A can play 2 below. That's it, I believe. Don't quote me on it though.

What I'm also experiencing with rapid hotkeying is that the old unit I had hotkeyd will still show a green ring around it, but the new unit actually ends up moving...
Sorry for the small screen, need to take a look at how to get obs to record full screen properly.
edit: When in Azerty mode, I had to press space bar to research metabolic boost even though the hotkey is M.
I have a qwerty keyboard so I should have had to press ";" to research it.
Same thing happened to me, I was about to post this:
But yeah exact same thing even tho I dont have an fpvod of it, I also was unable to use any of group keys and the UI was showing the group of units I was supposed to control. You can see see my shuttle going somewhere then back then somewhere then elsewhere, that was me trying to make sense of things in the middle of a game.
I keep getting kicked out..AGAIN. This problem already disappeared like 3 patches ago now it's back lol smh Seems like my cpu is getting fried, for a game this old this certainly gets my proc hot real fast since PTR
So i want to play this game on 1.18. But where should i play? You join a channel or something like in the old days and get game like that or what, there is no ladder is it or do you playt the bnet ladder now? Iccup dont work with 1.18 and fish is huge lag. Well i checked it out and in the join list, all were red.
