if you don't need it you can still obviously keep CD in lol how does this patch for some people's convenience affect your decision to play starcraft (quit?) lol

anyone getting errors,

MAKE SURE YOU DID STEP ONE IN THE PATCH.TXT thingy located in your starcraft folder.

Without this you will only see Broodwar.mpq after renaming it although it will really be hidden as:
Broodwar.mpq.exe, once you've done step one you will see.

If you did step one first then you won't see any of this like i did when i lost my virginity to patch 1.15.2

- Make sure you have "Hide extensions for known types" unchecked under
Explorer Folder Options.

I'm not really sure where that is

I'm not very computer savy.

I used a mini iso (shrunk to 2.74mb) since like 2005 or sometime.
I guess smart ppl or iso mount ppl dont benefit from this

Yeah I know. This made me very sad that all it did was remove the CD requirement.

Convenient, but an upset.

As awesome as this is the file they want you to copy over is ~560 Mb. I think i'll just stick with the 2.8 Mb iso like anch mentioned. Huge props to blizzard anyway.

-edit- If you mount the iso you can open the mounted cd and use the install.exe from there instead of the large one from the real cd. You still won't have the missions or some music, but at least you don't have to mount the iso anymore.

Yeah, I do not understand how there exists a .rar that has the install fire and is ~7 megs. I'll stick with Blizzards trusted 540 megabyte version.
