Honestly, I have no faith in blizzard whatsoever at this point. BW has needed team ladder for years now, so to think that even that would ever happened whilst they're "dealing" with all of these bugs is just a pipe dream. If they're not actively trying to fix the bugs that they themselves created in the first place they'd just be upgrading unit portraits and causing other bugs on a daily basis. It's over.

We have a fix for this exploit in testing for ShieldBattery, once we ensure that it doesn't break anything, we'll get it right out.

Words like Taiwan and Hong Kong are also banned in some parts of the latest patch, such as channel names and user ID's. Will SB be subject to this censorship as well or is that also something that can be worked around?

Thank you so much for all of your efforts! I can't wait for SB to take off.

edit: this censorship is not on the rolled back patch if you're logged into the asia gateway on bnet app and server (the server select menu to the right of the play button in the app, not the asia server in-game)

Really easy to repro once you know how (which I will avoid discussing so it doesn't become more prevalent). We'll get it fixed on ShieldBattery soon, I have a feeling Blizzard lacks the dev expertise to do it for their servers though.

That is just wrong though. The more people that know it the more ruined the game is the more people will complain on forums the more reason Activision has to fix it.

I mean it's very easy to figure out given that we have a rep with it in the OP, but given that Blizzard has approximately 0 people with any knowledge of the game, can't seem to even roll back obviously bad patches in a reasonable timeframe (let alone not release them at all), and is generally completely unresponsive, the only path we have to not make their ladder completely insufferable is to keep it vaguely obscure. I'm not interested in sabotaging their platform even if I provide a competing one, so I'm not gonna give you step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

Regardless, we'll have a complete fix for this issue deployed to ShieldBattery in an hour or so.

In a normal development environment, the hotter the fire gets, the faster it gets put out. So that's absolutely true. However, Brood War is a 23-year-old game built on hacky solutions on top of other hacky solutions designed to plug pinhole leaks in the hull as they appeared, meaning the people best suited to resolve issues are people who have extensive firsthand legacy knowledge. And none of those people are still with the company. Therefore, its situation is anything but normal. The community needs to step in and slow the spread of the fire where they can, whether it be not fanning the flames by spreading repro steps, or whether it's ShieldBattery's method of creating a parallel environment where the fire has already been extinguished.

The only thing we need is to have a report funcion and ban accounts of these abusers based on 1 replay evidence. ;/

This seems a bit harsh, given that this is not a hack but a bug of the game itself. Not every one who screws around once deserves to be banished.

Actually I think they do. This bug is not something that you may accidentally trigger but something that needs some research and practice, so you would do it on purpose and need to be punished for it.

I already lost some games due to this bug and I'm really worried this will get more and more common and will break the game (if nobody at Blizzard fixes it).
