It looks pixelated yeah. Hopefully it will be fixed.
yeah display not so good anymore with 1.19 (both ingame and chat font, pixelated and also disparity between some elements? bilinerar filtering off worsens it, but it doesnt look clean enough with it on, worse than before, it was upscaled more clean in 1.18), some nice improvements but bad display and also some menus have become slow, they lag for a few second not to mention the game takes a lot longer to start (title screen loading) but I don't mind that too much
pls don't make display remain bad to sell more hd graphics, many of us bought/are buying remastered anyway
For those that have pixelation issues on 1.19, try reselecting full screen option even if you are already on full screen mode. This fixes it for me, although I'm not sure if it will help anyone else. No harm in trying though.

Nobody makes that many valks in TvZ to cause a difference.
Thats the point, most people know thats not possible even in 1v1 games to a point cause they'll quit shooting. Hard to say what kind of impact this will have. I know if thats the case mass Wraith in TvT will be pretty much dead since valks rape them really hard and not stopping shooting is kinda silly at that
I thought they removed the Valk and Dragoon fixes after the 1.18 PTR?
I've seen a few people mention that they reverted the Valk and Dragoon fixes, but I took a look at the patch notes for 1.19 and couldn't find any mentions of this. Can anyone confirm this?

Valks are more common than ever in extreme top level Korean TvZ. We have commonly seen Flash, Last, and many other notable Korean Terrans using them in late game situations against other top Zerg players, such as Larva, Jaedong, Soulkey, etc.
Depending what kind of late game Zerg plays against the Terran mech switch, Valkyries can be useful. For example, against mass mutalisks, denying overlord drops, hunting queens that are pooling energy, and zoning against queens trying to snipe tanks with Spawn Broodling. Terran typically has two Starports with Control Towers already to produce a good number of Science Vessels. These Starports can be used to quickly add a healthy number of Valkyries.
It would certainly not break the matchup. If anything, it would make it more interesting.
they are never going to make 15+ valks vs zerg.... rven flash and last said it won't make any difference. Valk stops shooting at like 12 units... try making 15+ valks vs z in late game.
They sometimes make around that number. Regardless, I wasn't trying to say the bug would be a problem, but why not fix it if it won't make any difference? That means it won't upset the balance either. Who knows, maybe they start making even more of them. Weirder things have happened.
Yeah I get what you mean, Terrans have been making more Valks to fight against Queens late game etc, but they are never going to make so many that the Valks stop shooting because it costs alot of gas and supply. There's zero impact to TvZ by fixing this.

What about TvT? Also, I occasionally see zergs switch into mass muta. Won't terrans want to make a ton of valks in that case?

They have never released a version of the game that had either of those changes, thus there is nothing to revert or put in patch notes

hey I tried it I was on "windowed full screen" before, but the "full screen" mode doesn't cut it for me for 2 reasons, mouse behavior changes in a bad way (heavy and slow, input lag? without vsync), and the screen refresh rate gets set to a low(er) value in full screen mode which makes the screen flashy, however allows using gamma corrector again which I'd like to be able to do cause its too dark sometimes . .

Depends on the game, sometimes you see Valks, sometimes Goliaths and Vessels used well just do the job. The number of Mutalisks we've be seeing late game recently has and probably will trigger some Valks to be made more often, and in greater number than usual.

That's funny because it is the opposite for me 0_o windowed fullscreen has a weird slow and heavy feeling for the mouse and fullscreen is crisp.

they dont make 15++ idk what game u are talking about but they have 6-8 valks in groups to snipe queens and even then nowadays they go valks 3/10 times if it goes late game. i seen so many flash last games vs larva. they emphasize heavy tank army with facts outside nat for vults. They go 2 starports for fast 4 vessels to make z make more lurks or 2 fast dropships for quick gg.
valkyrie and goon fix were never done afaik, they said it will be a fix way back in the announcement before 1.18 started. but when they instead did the 1.18 PTR, they never did the valk/goon fixes. it was never part of any patch note after the announcement afaik.
