Even players (including myself) with high end pc (gtx680, I7 etc.) have a lot of lag/stutter issues when the day before with the previous build of the game all was ok.

Set alternateLowTexture to 0 on variables.txt, fixed it for me.

You can see your total games. AWESOME!
(for those who don't know, if you go to "Ladders", you can see how many wins you have)
Really? It's that important? Never knew.
Total games maby no , but games in this seson yes. Now non master players can see win ratio they got. its good thing for me

Low graphic uses now special low-textures - statuc pictures with sharper square of every texture. Those low-textures have smaller size.
Sorry I dont really get that
So basically, the new "low" is better than the old "low"? And thatthe new "low" is equivalent to the old "medium"?
Yes NEW Low got better performacne then old low , and its looks better. Thing that makes fps drops etc is STREAMING SYSTEM ( you can see that if you play , on right side of screen "streaming data" or something like that)

You can set old graphics , just find thread here in TL New interface is better , and you can navigate very fast in this ( f1 f2 etc )
Other thing is.. you play the game ? or you sit all the time in lobby?. If you dont like new interface , just go in game faster , simple as that.

this problem is seriously annoying, don't know what's wrong
Blizzard are not full of retarded employees. It is just a cunning plan. They will release HotS that will have almost nothing new, compared to WoL patch 1.4. They made this 1.5.0 crap to fool us and promise to us that HotS will be better. No way it can't be better, if they make it just like the older patch. And... boom, you have brand new expansion. :D
Blizz, keep releasing not-bug-tested sh*tload, we love it.
some people are always disappointed, so it's not a huge deal.
The interface was unfamiliar at first for obvious reasons, but once you get used to the hotkeys it really is rather convenient. The major point for 1.5 is for custom game improvements. I think it is a large step back into the right direction. Starcraft II has emphasized too hard on E-sports and ladder and kind of forget that for the majority of players out there, they just want a game of 3v3 without records, or a 4v4 versus computer, or a DoTA game.
While I mainly play ladder game, a custom game here and there is really great.
People made this patch to be some sort of doomsday for sc2. It is buggy yes, but the interface is better then the old on considering the old interface was absolute shit. I'll give it a B. Not good but not bad either.

Does the fact that you can not understand a crap about someone's ladder standing on the summary, rate it a B?
runs fine on my machine. gtx 570, i7. and I know there's a lot of bugs but it was a pretty MAJOR patch with a shit ton of changes. It would have been an miraculous programming achievement if this patch DIDN'T come with bugs. If you think they didn't do any QA then you're probably a little naive. 1.5 was in beta and free to test by everyone for a long time. I can tell you as a software QA tester myself you can never anticipate what will break once you release new software into the wild, even if it looks 100% fine on the dev/tester side. The real question to me isn't how they could've released a patch like this with this many bugs, but how long they will take to fix them. That to me is a better benchmark to judge blizzard by. Then again, knowing how little the vast majority of players and forum goers understand software development at this scale and how prone most are to raging uncontrollably, it will probably be 'too long' no matter how long it takes them, sadly.
Has anyone else noticed that larvae from a killed hatchery will prevent you from building a new hatchery at the same location until it moves out of the way? This was probably the most frustrating thing I encountered on ladder today. They really need to fix this bug ASAP.

While I agree that the game should also cater to casual players to a certain degree, the amount of data presented in the current UI is just absolutely horrendous. The fact that "Profile Summary" presents some of the most useless information (Games Played This Season, Most Played Mode, Total Career Games" is really unacceptable.
People were already complaining when Blizzard took away stats (win/loss count for below Master), now they just made everything even less accessible to everyone is just mind boggling. The thing that most people want is win ratio vs. races in terms of data presentation, and they have taken majors steps away from that idea to the point that I'm surprised they didn't just post a giant thumbs up on the home screen to make you feel better.
