I can't use the regular patch, don't run on my computer. The Public Test runs but when I try battle.net all it says is "Conecting..." I want to buy broodwar again so i can get a cd key and run Monikon's BW because all I have is my game code from the blizzard store. Would buying the expansion alone, brood war, provide me with the key I need?


Brood War has no CD key. Only the base game has a CD key. They've done away with it since 1.18 (since the game is free now). EDIT: No CD key recquired for private servers (iCCup, etc). Thanks JungleTerrain.

What version of Windows/Mac are you running? Battle.net only has support for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 now for version 1.18. (You can still play LAN with XP and Vista). Have you uninstalled and reinstalled? I had to do this fix earlier on Windows:

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20753887519

1) Uninstall the game
2) Delete the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Classic Launcher\s1t registry key
3) Reinstall.

For MacOS, here's what I found:

https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20754545655

iCCup has instructions on how to have 1.16 and 1.18 running on the same computer:

You don't need a CD key to play on ICCup as it is not an official blizzard server

Am I the only one when I ALT+TAB my mouse get stuck in a small rectangle (probably the ghost 800*600 BW window rectangle) ? So ALT+TAB works but my mouse cursor is traped inside this rectangle, so annoying.

Sorry to ask this way but could anyone point me in a direction if there is any issue with "mouse lag". When I just started playing BW again in this patch it feels like the mouse has the slightest delay.

I have gotten kind of used to it now is seems after playing for a couple of days, but I wondered if this is a known issue in this new patch or just me not remembering how old BW is?

It feels weird.


I have this slight laggy feeling on 1.18 too, dont have it on 1.16.


Yeah unfortunately same problem here too and i tried all the suggested stuff in this post.
Hope this will be fixed some day... until then i will continue playing on iccup. I am not that active anyway.


Do you experience only the mouse cursor being laggy-ish, or that all game graphics, particularly scrolling, is running slightly less smooth than on 1.16?

What kind of PC setup do you guys have?

Myself I have a first generation i5 processor with a stone age type of intel integrated graphics, and suspect that the reason for the slowness is that my graphics adapter can't keep up with the new opengl renderer. Supposedly a directx renderer was added to the latest patch, but there isn't an easy way for the user to select it yet.

Happens quite often to me. Alt tabbing to a different thing fixes it best for me.

I tried Full screen and it seemed to work but my aspect ratio got fucked. Is there a work around for this? I mean, it streched the view..

That's in your graphics card settings, there is usually a box to check like "preserve aspect ratio".

What about when you are holding down mouse button then pressing keys does not register?


A 1st or 3rd party fix for this(like in mca) would be AMAZING

If there is one for 1.18, can some please direct me to it?

Thank you!

It improves it but still isnt satisfying.
It still feels like dragging the mouse through water (before that its like through mud).

Bnet servers don't have ladder as of right now. And matchmaking/ladder will only be available for SC Remastered players. Overall, the level of skill on bnet servers is lower than ICCup (some people are completely new to the game), but every once in a while I get a decent player to play against.

I haven't been in ICCup in a bit so I can't say much about that server atm. I'm loving being able to host and I actually prefer the mouse sensitivity a lot more on 1.18 than 1.16. To each his own.

There's more players on battle.net than on iccup, that's for sure. The skill lvl on battle.net is actually not too bad... I've lost more games on b.net than I would have laddering on iccup.
