For anyone else experiencing the "The selected network provider could not be initialized" issue

I just used the live chat support and the helpful GM figured out that it was my antivirus software. (Bitdefender free)

Hopefully this is of some help

Yes bitdefender free is blocking showing gateways for me. You have to stop virus shield and restart bw.

Still dunno how to fix taskbar showing in both fullscreen and windowed fullscreen on win 7. Fullscreen is streched too.

Anyone know how to make the brightness higher?

It's weird, like the brightness setting in Video options is at the highest, but it's also greyed out so I can't click it.

Though, I see it's at the max anyways, but the game just doesn't seem that bright like 1.16. Definitely not the brightest it could be. I am playing in Windowed Full Screen. Any ideas?


EDIT: If I go into "FULL SCREEN" it just makes BW into a small box in the middle of my monitor basically. But I can tell the brightness is the real brightness lol.

And for some reason, even if I play around with aspect ratio and such, the best I can do is get it to STRETCH in my monitor. But I never play like that -- I play aspect ratio with the black bars on both sides. This is the main reason I've been doing window full screen mode because it works with the black bars. I can't get full screen to work.


EDIT2: Side question unrelated to above... totally turning fps cap off seems to really put a burden on video card. What are others doing? Even Blizzard recommends disabling fps cap for people with 300+ apm (so that you can minimize the input response to certain keys until they fix it). But it just doesn't seem good with hardware. I'm keeping it at like 120 for now but what are others doing?

Hope they optimize this graphics renderer they're using because the frame rendering doesn't seem to scale too well.

Reducing the FPS cap from 125 FPS to 100 FPS halves my GPU load % according to GPU-Z.

i think the brightness looks a bit weird because of "enable bilinear filtering" (video setting). you need to have it checked or else the game looks super pixelated.. but when you do it makes the game a bit blurry/darker. these problems are probably because they've updated the models for remastered.

and pretty much everyone has the same problem w/ fullscreen, it either stretches the screen or makes it a tiny box.

to fix fullscreen stretch on nvidia video cards, go into options. you have to check the box that says override the scaling mode set by games and programs. you can then mess around with fullscreen setting. aspect ratio almost always stretches it.

i can play fullscreen no problem now and the mouse feels like it did in 1.16.1

Having a weird mouse issue, might be my mouse...

It seems to create the mouse lagging really bad.



In that clip at 0:03s (0:13-0:14s on the game clock) you can see my mouse skips. I keep getting this to happen lately. I can sit on my desktop and box all day with 0 problems, but in SCBW it's been a huge problem. Was also streaming so mighta been Xsplit? Not sure yet.

Edit: It's my mouse T_T

Doesn't surprise me the pros are on 1.16.1, it's stable and proven to not have any issues - plus you aren't required to download nearly-daily updates. Blizzard is committed to getting 1.18 stable and ready for Remastered, so I suspect in a year's time we'll all be playing on 1.18 and not looking back.

how fucked is this tinkering by blizzard, it doesnt even do this in SB smh

Does anyone also have this bug? Whenever I select a game in the popular game tab, seconds later it will jump back to the first game in the list.

Can we expect b.net ui to be rapidly improved and modernized for remaster? No matter how much I try to adapt, the b.net ui is still ugly and ineffcient...laggy...

Close to none. The new bnet UI is basically a website running on your machine, it's HTML and JavaScript interpreted by a semi custom chrome embedded. It's always going to be less snappy than a native UI.

Original BW must have some super shitty coding, if the new team is constantly breaking stuff while trying to make small changes.

i remember this quality post from GTR couple days ago about 1.18
i think alot of people disagree with youre idear of

''i see nothing wrong with this patch'''

(more importantly korean pro-gamers they know this game inside out and have a more sophisticated opinion about patches and possible problems.)

''a slight minority that are against this patch''

think before you post stuff you dont know much about

News about ASL3.

Afreeca decide to adopt 1.18 from now.

So Group C and D will play 1.18 version.

Mong gives us this info.

This makes me mad. Why are they switching mid ASL? They are affecting the competition because 1.18 still has issues in it and this was shown when they tried it already. Never mind that it's stupid to change mid competition. This is more appropriate next ASL for more time to test things out, not now!

Agree


you said 1.18.3 is verry good patch

I like the patch,i dont like they changed it mid season,u just dont do it in any sport.


Every esport in the world when a new patch is released always switches to the latest version. Unless the latest version has ground breaking bugs that limit the games ability to play matches at a competitive level, then I see no reason to hold onto the old patch.

From what I've seen so far, there's nothing in 1.18.3 that suggests that they can't hold pro matches on it. Every pro complaint has been just them complaining about things being different. In addition it seems its only a slight minority that are against the new patch.
