General Messaging has been added to comply with provisions of a new Korean Online Gaming Law. These changes apply only to the Korean product version of StarCraft II. Edit: copy paste too much, sorry. Reason I post this is because I am hoping someone from Korea can explain this gaming law; is it good or bad for esports? What is it about?  | ||

EDIT: After a few tries, I figured it out. If your updater stops at 0% but says completed, and when you click play it opens SC but then goes back to the updater screen here is my fix: When the smaller (really thin window) called blizzard updater opens (mine opened behind/under the patch screen) it will says waiting for files to close. All you have to do is close the patch window and it will start updating and then the patch window will open again and go to 100% and it will work. gl. | ||

I (and I'm sure many others with me) expected a balancepatch, seeing the terribleness that is the spectators experience atm. | ||

On sane operating systems (read: linux), you can set something like this up easily with a few lines of perl and a cronjob. I have no idea how to do this on windows but I imagine there is a similar feature. Instead of passing a law which is a pain in the butt for anyone writing games, why can't the Korean government just write software that does this (incurring the cost once rather than N times) and GPL it? | ||

I dont understand... I opened SC2 today and says it is being patched. from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4 And as soon as I saw the Ghost snipe from 45 to 25 (+25 psionic), I realized that this patch is very similar to the previous one... So, what is new in 1.4.4? Just that Korean messaging law? | ||

- young players will have less practice -> less chances of seeing upcoming korean players -> since all the good/decent terrans come from korea -> in the mid and long-run, Z/P will be even more represented in international tournaments Once again, a patch is nerfing terran. That's evil and I find it very offensive. | ||

Wait isn't it shifting the responsibility the opposite direction? Like, now game companies can say, hey, we provided you with a way to limit your child, and parents won't have anyone to blame but themselves if their child plays too much? | ||

LOL Nope, just some messaging controls. This "patch" could have been a hotfix and likely still worked just fine. Troll Blizzard at it again. | ||

somehow I can't ladder after patching the new patch. (1.4.4....) everytime I press the 'find match button' it says that I'd need to download the latest patch. however, I already did. hence I can get into the 'multiplayer' tab and actually press the 'find match button'. and on my login page, it says my version is 1.4.4... so, I'm not understanding what should I do? I did manually open the blizzard updater, however it says that there's no need to update. I opened the blizzard downloader and it says the same thing. there's no new download. anyone can shed some light on me? Thanks | ||
