I heard someone mention this 1.5 patch fixes the serious FPS problem affecting all Mac users. Is this true? Anyone stuck on a Mac like me who can confirm they are getting better FPS now?

I was wrong about the patch giving 9% extra performance. I wasn't spawning in the same starting position when I checked the framerate. It doesn't seem to give any performance benefit.

Takes AGES to get a 1v1 custom match going even the ones at the top of the list(been waiting 10 mins for xel naga cavens)

And your units walk in the fog of war like they are carrying a lantern(bright round light on them), like above.

Not impressed at all.. not worth the big download that's for sure.I keep going back to regular sc2.

Maybe its just the lack of players that haven't d/l it yet.

... Why on earth would you custom 1v1 in a beta? Nobody is doing that; they're either playing on the ladder for 1v1 or messing with the Arcade (which is what the beta is for in the first place).

I'm a Mac user and definitely getting better FPS. Patch 1.4.3, I would lag a bit on Daybreak; not getting any of that junk in the 1.5 beta, and the textures are far better on low settings to boot!

1. I'm getting terrible lag spikes (lag I don't get in regular SC2).

2. It takes 1-3 minutes to find even a 1v1 ladder match (as opposed to just seconds in regular SC2), but I assume that's just because there are far fewer people playing this version of the game.

3. I'm getting paired up with people of all levels, without any consistency (even after many, many games). My last few opponent's leagues were- according to the score screens: platinum, GM (wtf?), silver, platinum again, silver again, etc. I win most of them (even the won against the apparent GM player lol), so I assume it's just taking the system longer than usual to find me a place (they stupidly placed me in silver even though I kept winning), but I have no idea why every two or three games I play really really shitty players. The silver players actually player as if they're silver.

4. Other than these technical problems, I really like the layout and format. It looks a lot more colorful, organized, and all-around nicer. Still don't think I'll be using the Arcade/ Custom Game stuff, but it's surely appealing for those who do use it.

But I think this beta isn't really about testing the ladder system, but more the custom game changes they made.

Is the 1.5 beta available on EU right now? I'm getting the usual "Battle.net may be temporarily unavailable...". My regular SC2 works fine. Do I need to do some special thing other than download the game?

They announced that the Rate the Game HOTS Contest is over and it's possible they've taken it down to either tally the numbers or possibly end the 1.5 beta. It's down in US as well at the moment.

Okay :'(
And I just downloaded it haha. Didn't care much for the HotS contest, but I thought they would leave the beta up a while longer.

Well, they didn't announce the beta was ending so I wouldn't delete it just yet.

If you are really from Australia, then you are unlucky, unless I am blind:

THE SWEEPSTAKES IS OPEN ONLY TO RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, ARGENTINA, CHILE, MEXICO, PERU, BELGIUM, UNITED KINGDOM, GERMANY AND AUSTRIA

I don't see Australia in the list.

Well, in case anyone is wondering, the beta is back up, but I don't think they're still using it for the HotS beta key contest. Had to download some content before launching, and now it seems they've changed a couple of things. The "Starcraft" and "Arcade" buttons on the top by making the fonts the same size. The 1v1 artwork has been changed. Terran is a ghost, Protoss still a zealot, and the Zerg is idk what. Looks very odd, but I don't recognize it. They've also made it so that the artwork you haven't selected is greyed out, which is a nice touch. Also, I don't know if it was just me, but the "Spotlight" section under Arcade wasn't working before, but now it seems to be fine.

Overall, it seems like they're just doing tiny little tweaks, which might mean they're close to shipping it out, which is good, because once they've got this up a running, hopefully they can divert more attention to getting the HotS beta out :D
