Greetings TL!
There have been some issues surrounding the release of SC:Remastered. I would like to use this thread to document known issues, possible fixes or workarounds, and to generally rant and rave about stuff in one, all-inclusive area.
Good Things:
-HD graphics and resolutions look great and work well. (I have heard that the game eats up alot of resources in HD but I didn't notice anything)
-Matchmaking: Does seem to work as intended for the most part. Can search and find games.
-Still Broodwar: The underlying mechanics and gameplay are still intact.
-Hotkey UI: Awesome
-UI in general: I love the refresh button in the custom games lobby and chat channels seem to work and have people in them for the most part.
My Issues:
-Game does not save user settings: HD graphics, Pre-order skins (on/off), game timer etc.
-Ladder: Records not displaying, games not registering, people not being able to view the ladder or their own games, long wait times for games via matchmaking. All of these issues seem to be legitimate problems that many people are encountering.
-No player profiles or portraits.
-No team game ladders (2v2, 3v3, 4v4) They are coming tho! Confirmed.

-Chat channels: Joining/leaving channel while finding a match kicks you from game. Other than that they seem to work properly.
-Hotkeys can only be changed in the initial start menu.
-UI in general: When I search for a ranked game it seems kind of bare bones. After the game pops there are nicer graphics and portraits but hitting "Join" to search for a ladder game felt empty.
-Streaming functionality. There is no Blizzard streaming as of yet, however SC:Remastered does seem to work with OBS. There are still resolution problems when streaming.

I currently am trying to stream, however it lags my PC when I hit "start streaming".
I can still stream on iCCup at 640x480 resolution with no lag.
I tried to use obs for SC:RM and noticed the resolution is quite high: 1680x1050 which is the same as my Desktop resolution.
-Random disconnects and errors when searching for a match.

Final Thoughts
I love Starcraft. I will continue to play and hope that at least some of the issues I've discovered or run into will be addressed.
If anyone has any fixes, updates, workarounds or other issues that I'm unaware of, please share them!
Possible Fixes/Help/Edits
-Known issues: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20758517787
-Forward ports 6112-6119 if you are experiencing lots of lag during your games. Especially for big team games or games with observers.
-Hit "F5" to set it to HD when first logging in.
-Clicks not registering. (Might be a design flaw of the engine, was present in Broodwar)
-Your ladder game will not register if it is your first game or you are playing against an opponent who is playing their first game. You still see your rating increase/decrease after the game so I wonder if it still tracks the MMR and is a visual problem? More info as it becomes available.
***Latest Patch Notes!***
|
Team ladder games didn't exist in the past. Other servers, like Fish Server provided a 2v2 ladder though.
|
There's a lot of blank spaces in the ladders so I'm sure team ladders are coming soon enough.
|
"-UI in general: When I search for a ranked game it seems kind of bare bones. No sounds when I hit "join", no real notification when the game pops and it's difficult to even tell what race you've selected. This part of the whole UI really bugged me because it feels incomplete and thrown together in a hurry."
What? when you search for a game on the matchmaking, there is a sound when you find a player, and a big vs screen with 3D models of an Hydra, Zealot or Marine, depending on the race to chosed, also your nick and your opponent's nick displayed below the 3D models

I dont think the sound plays when you are tabbed out, but you are correct! I wasnt very clear. I meant when youre about to hit "Join" for a ladder game; the selector box around the three races.

Performance issues and SC1 should not be a thing

Will there be 2v2 or larger matchmaking?
Yes. Timeline is dependent on getting current implementation of 1s stable and confidence in the rating system

I was surprised when I read that there were performance issues! I'm lucky enough to have a pretty nice PC at the moment and didn't even consider how taxing the game might be to run.

I'm not one for team games to begin with but as someone who admittedly knows nothing about programming I just thought that creating a 2v2, 3v3 search function would be super easy for them.
Maybe that's why I'm so salty about this release. I imagine that Blizzard can literally do all of this stuff very easily when it might actually be alot harder than I originally thought?
|
I just hope they fix inputs not registering when you klick fast. Like when you click 1a2a3a it does not register you switching control groups if you still have the mouse pressed down. I'm sure some bw purists would say that's a "feauture" though.
|
What about just using the old Wc3 Battle_net System. For it was perfectly fine, it had so many nice features: Detailed, but important statistics, Clan-system, etc... It was a pleasure to use for the eye AND the ear. Imo it was much better than sc2 battle.net 2.0.

|
it probably has to do with all the old legacy code they're trying not to tamper with too much
|
I just went to load up scr and i had to do an update. blizzard finally fixed my hd graphics. Every time i tried to turn them on, the entire game would crash and I had to file a bug report. Kudos to blizzard for fixing it faster than I expected. Still lots of other bugs though.
|
In terms of chat channels, why aren't we thrown into some lobby as soon as we log in with the hundreds plus (thousands?) else who are online?
I agree it's not as communal as I'd expected.
|
The profiles are all sorts of bungled at the moment, portraits, APM count etc. More ladder games seem to be registering now for whatever reason at least.
|
From what I've seen/heard, they've had a hard time working with the source code that is almost 20 years old. The engine is a bunch of workarounds on top of workarounds to achieve the desired effects you see in-game, so tampering with one thing can have undesirable side effects somewhere else. This is evident for example when they tried to fix dragoons getting stuck and the valkyries stop attack glitch, but they had to revert it because it affected unit behavior in other parts of the game (this was at the beginning of 1.18). Maybe it is too much to ask them to remake the game from the ground up without affecting the gameplay, so they HAVE to stick to the old engine and this makes it hard to exact changes.
Also, they recently said that they are changing things server side you will see differences in profiles, mmr changes, matchmaking, etc. without them rolling out a patch as a physical indication that things have changed.
|
When you join a custom game, the default race is Terran. It used to be Random before (pre-1.19). It's a nuisance.
|
I'm loving SC:R it's absolutely amazing.
issues -
Defaults being reset, need to hit f5 to make HD every time I log in as well as turning music off.
When dragging the mini map to the right side of the map there is dead space where the cursor can't go further. On the left side this distance is less and is almost flush against the edge.
even in SC:R beta the mini map let your drag your mouse all the way to the edge of the mini map.
Cloaked units are still too invisible. Lag still seems to be occurring more so than past battle net. Probably due to L2 latency which is better than old bnet. I think most using don't have UPnP enabled in their routers.

The team game thing is more complicated than you think because there are more players involved, more ratings to track, and most importantly a UI for supporting group queues.

It's the same as classic Bnet. You start in a local country channel. Each time I log on there are at least 20-25 people in a random Brood War USA-# channel. And there are plenty of people chatting.
As for my own SC:R experience, I discovered that most of my games with multiple players were laggy. Really laggy. I thought the connectivity problems would have been resolved through the addition of UPnP in 1.18a, but maybe that actually got rolled back? I actually had to go into my router settings and forward ports 6112-6119 to my IP on the network, and then all the lag problems went away. This may not affect you in 1v1, but it will be a big help in larger games (including games with observers). Forward ports 6112-6119 to your computer!

Cheers for this!
Noticed I was in a Spanish channel, due to living in Spain when I bought WoL years ago and I suppose Battle.net storing all of my info. Typed in a CAN-# channel where I am now living and things aren't quite as lonely!
For the record, only started playing online today and the game seems to be storing all of my losses just fine as far as ladder goes. Haven't been grinding games unlike others though so who knows!

I really like the look of the WC3 menus and their functionality but I don't know if I would say they are better than SC2's. The biggest problem with SC2 was the chat channel system made it feel like there was no community and I hated that. Even when I joined big channels like Day9 or Husky back in the day it felt empty.
I love the style and look of the Broodwar menus and UI. Holds a lot of nostalgia for me.

Great info, thanks! I hope to see changes soon and it must have been really difficult to work with the old engine and code. There was an awesome article written by one of the original devs on how Starcraft 1 was originally made: http://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/tough-times-on-the-road-to-starcraft. It's a great and interesting read.

MY ISSUES:
-Game does not save graphics settings. I have to enable HD graphics every time I restart the game (Have not looked into a config file fix or anything yet)
That's super weird. I know it's anecdotal, but mine always starts in HD, and I have to go out of my way to turn it back to Standard Def.

Has anyone run into issues where you're deep in a game and your mouse will cut out and start beeping upon a click? I have no idea what's causing this, and it's happened to me a couple of times now--the only fix is to unplug the mouse and pop it back in.
|
That strange bug where profiles/ladder is not displayed will be fixed soon.
It's a webserver, not a gameserver - but Blizzard is aware of that and it will be fixed soon.
|
Friend list is completely broken now (the old system)
/f l, /f a and /f m are not working very well. You have to go to the friend interface in the right and it s annoying.
Or use /w.
Aside from this most things seem to have been fixed since release. Sometimes i have random lag spikes though but i guess it happens.
Alt tabbing screws up my windows if I don t shut down bw which is annoying.
If someone (let s say from overwatch) writes me while i m in sc I dont see it. I have to use the bw app (alt tabbing). Anybody has a fix?
|
This game still needs a lot of fixing.
|
-Chat channels: They seem sort of arbitrarily thrown into the system based on region. No real improvements that I could see from the original. No sense of community.
I've been having a good time chatting in the default region chat. The custom chat channel creation ability has also been working fine for me.

I shouldn't really complain about chat channels when I've hardly even tried to use them lol. I'll edit that part.

I find my front USB ports often make things worse, but your problem definitely sounds like a hardware issue. Test another mouse and/or try a different USB port and I hope it works for you!

I keep getting disconnected from games, it says 'server lost connection', but my wireless internet for my other devices remain strong.
Also, sometimes when I'm in a channel, I get disconnected with the message "You have been logged out" and with an error '6.10'. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? Thanks

Had that happen as well. Its been posted by a few people in the technical support forums; as usual, ignored utterly.
|
small issue, but whenever I play protoss, the minimap has bars around it which constrict mouse movement, although all the map is squeezed into its frame still. When i play zerg however, the minimap has no bars around it like normal. I havent tried with terran.
Also lol @ post above is a shot of me bitching

"estimated time" is never accurated 
should be fixed or removed

I played a lot of BW before HD but it's the first time I feel like I'm having this issue. It seems more prevalent on old UMS maps. I hope it's just my mouse/keyboard coordination being off and not some bug on SC:R.
|
I'm having the same issues and way more lag than I should. (Playing on wi-fi though).
|
Every time I play I have to reselect my map vetoes (got cheesed on Arcadia and Outsider in a row, then I was like "hmmm", I don't even have this maps on my good to go list)", and I have to restart the good old "do not use the preorder skins" thing.
Any solution?

Yea, I've found that it doesn't really retain settings.
|
Game option settings keep resetting to defaults, have to turn on game timer, turn off preorder skins, switch to standard layout every time I start up the game.
Also Shift-adding to certain control groups (Shift+#) randomly not working during the game, though I remember this being part of the original BW, so I just stopped using Shift+# altogether.

Has anyone figured out how to change the resolution of StarCraft Remastered?
I currently am trying to stream, however it lags my PC when I hit "start streaming".
I can still stream on iCCup at 640x480 resolution with no lag.
I tried to use obs for SC:RM and noticed the resolution is quite high: 1680x1050 which is the same as my Desktop resolution.
Does anyone know if there is a way around this for me or not? Thanks in advance and stuff.

wish there was built in option for this with appropriate fonts for each resolutions, it would help with performance and quality of display

Lol there's an almost 400 point gap on US West right now
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LzKWNhs.jpg)

That looks bugged. My account on US west is around 1870 as of last night.
|
Is there a way to message someone you just played with ?? I can't figure it out but someone did it to me after we started chatting in game, so I feel like it must be possible ... ?

I have this same problem. I'm really enjoying the game but it would be nice if they fixed this!

They need to fix the latency issue when laddering, I'm playing ppl in the same country and region and facing delay but when I host a normal game it's totally fine.

Ensure UPnP is on and open port 6112 tcp see if that helps. Do this in the firewall also

Using a TT ESports Theron, and never had any issues before.

I had this issue to, or something similar. First of all, if you have nividia graphic card, make sure your shadowplay is turned off. Second step is to turn off something similar in xbox app.
I had these turned off, so that wasnt the issue for me. I then tried this one:
https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/23848
Its to do with restarting computer with small amount of programs running. It helped for me I think.
What happened after trying this was when entering battle.net i got a question if i wanted to available bonjour program, its somethibng with making lan latency smoother. I said ok.
But dont htink that was fixing the issue but cant say for sure. Tried to restart compuiter with more programs running, and at some point the delay/lag got back, but not sure if bonjour was available then. I know also that when i had delay/lag when many programs running i shut down nivida graphic program and it seemed to help...
Worth noting is that i saw some blizzard staff/dev say that some programs can interfere with their latency/network.

In a chat channel type @[USERNAME][SPACE] Message. So if I wanted to message you after our game and your username was the same as your TL account I would type: @transanethole Hey, rematch?

Awesome thanks.
Hey so I was just playing on US East and I started getting matched up against a bunch of Koreans, then I got kicked out, logged back in and my profile was gone? WTF? did they reset the ladder?
I think the servers shit themselves...
|
lol ye I got kicked out as well, something going on at the moment??
|
Can confirm now, just lost profile...
|
I keep getting errors when trying to search for a game. Guess something is going on atm.
|
I got into the screen where we create our Profile. But more will be revealed since its not working, perhaps too much requests being processed.
|
LOL something is definitely wrong, apparently only 16 players on us east. Server shut down probably >< so sad wanted to get more games in
|
did servers just crash? shows ~5 people per server left online
|
I am having issues logging in as well
|
Yeah, soon as I was about to play servers crash and I have 0 profiles. Oh well, hope it's fixed when I get back from the store!
|
Got disced from my ladder game, but not from b.net. I can still chat but everything is slow and I can't host a game or view ladder/profiles.
|
ahh bad timing D: same issue here, showing no profiles
|
BLIZZARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
mike morhaime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fix please
|
I was just about to log on and try to ladder a bit. Guess I'll go to bed instead lol
|
derrrrrrrrrrrp server crash, terrible timing for me
|
seems to work again, I can see my profile again
|
So I won 3 ladder games and none had recorded. It's been a few days too and still says my rank is 0. I also cannot save anything in my profile.. hmmm....
|
|
|
Anyone else getting constantly matched up against people on the other side of the world? I've played against 3 korean players in a row now, which is completely unplayable due to lag...
|
I'm in EU and I'm playing at around 9-10 in the morning. Servers are fine, games come quickly and I can see my profile. I do seem to have more trouble during times of more traffic, though (i.e. the afternoon). The only issue I have is that all three games this morning have been PvP. However, I don't really have enough games played to really debate that I'm only being matched with Protoss. My last opponent seemed to be Korean, or at the very least wanted his/her opponents to think so. But who'd lie on the Internet?
I want to add that I absolutely love it, though! There's always going to be trouble in the beginning. Some people have stated that "this isn't the Blizzard I know", but honestly to me this is exactly the Blizzard I know and love.

Your very first game won't count.
Same goes if you play opponents on their very first game.
It might be a bug, but there's also a chance you got unlucky and had someone on their first game.
|
When people disconnects from the game they give their opponent a lose. Profile is very buggy with icons etc. Also the "Ladder" tab is very buggy atm sometimes you can't see the rankings.
|
Thanks for the info. After both games, I got an error message in that small prompt box that shows you your new rating. Is that also a known bug?
