that happens with every building, unit etc.

Playing the pre-loader map on arcade prevents this.

Only happens on Cyber core for me, nothing else. And I run SCII on a SSD. The original pre-load bug was fixed back in patch 1.5.3

SSD is still slower than RAM.

Another huge Terran nerf in this patch as well:

Replays no longer always play Terran music. Music for observers will now always match the race of the last player in the lobby. (In a future patch, this will be further addressed to play a random selection of music from all races for observers.)


At this rate, they won't even have to nerf Hellbats


The terran music is the best one out of all three. =(

That was quick.

Hopefully. In HotS, you can see an animation as it travels to a new tumor, don't think it was attackable but if you could, could've been a bug?

I don't think so. I would imagine they're referring to the animation, rather than detection. The animation causes the creep tumor to appear visible after the tentacle(?) from the previous creep tumor has reached its destination point. However, the health bar for the tumor-in-making would appear before the creep tumor actually popped up from the ground. Thus, this would allow the opponent to snipe the creep tumor before it appears, graphically.

I'm guessing they made it to where the health bar only appears after the new creep tumor actually appears, making the creep tumor attackable only after it has emerged from the tentacle animation.

Units auto attack the creep tumor before it appears, as in, while the creep tumor is still traveling to the new location. Currently, if you spread a creep tumor units idling near the new location will auto attack the creep tumor before it spawned, even tho the player can't even see the tumor yet, because it had not travelled there yet!

I prefer patches where I can get angry at stuff but I guess the idle worker button thing is nice.

Oh wow music change, though the Terran music has always been the best anyways. That imba music.

You can't get angry about the SCV change? I know I am. Glitches like these were what made BW so cool. Terran finally had a way to gas steal.

I guess we can still gas steal, you just have to hope they don't attack your worker. :p

Solid patch. I'm glad that balance patches are being paced much more than they were in Wings of Liberty, and seeing a big list full of bug fixes is always nice.

EDIT: Please note, this has nothing to do with whether or not the game should alert you when you have idle workers. Some people like to respond with things like "maybe you should just make it so the game yells at you whenever you have idle workers!" This is about how when they re-vamped the UI for HotS, they unintentionally affected the gameplay by making the button far far less noticeable (the previous WoL button was incredibly easy to spot as it popped onto your main screen as a small button just above your minimap). Blizzard confirmed this is not what they meant to do. And many people including several pros like naniwa complained about this button back in HotS beta.

So I just patched and went into an offline custom game to test out the new Idle Worker button animation..and they weren't kidding when they said subtle. keeping my focus on the center of the screen, it's very hard to notice the button is active. I have to wait like 3-4 seconds and put effort into trying to notice it (while still keeping focus at the center) in order to actually see it glowing.

However at least when looking closer to the button, like at the minimap, you can notice it, if you're being alert enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy they're listening and trying to fix things like this. I just suspect I still won't notice the button being active, at least in intense games where my concentration on other things is very high. It's nowhere near the Wings of Liberty button that popped up on your main screen, separate from all other UI.

Nothing too crazy from Blizzard in this one. I'm sad about the SCV glitch thing. That was cool.
If your all in didn't work, you didn't pull the workers.
