Reapers set back Zerg too much.

In ZvT., Reapers hit at 4:15 and at that time zerg ether has 2 hatches and 2 queens, Or 3 hatches.

If it is 2 queens, Zerg must use 2 enrages to cover the gap when lings don't have speed. After 2 enrages you can't inject. Effectively denying 6 larva(drones) in that 1 minute that reapers are out and lings don't have speed. 12 hatch/11pool builds do not have ling speed until 5:20 leaving Zerg over 1 minutes of hell with reapers.

3 hatch builds must build 8 to 10 slow lings total to chase the reapers. Microed Reapers can kill every slow ling zerg make and still kill 1 or 2 drones. This harass effectively denies 6 to 7 drones. that is like killing mineral line.
Or Zerg can try to build 2 spines in the mineral line. That 300 mineral cost for the spines prevents zerg form spending larva/drones denying 6 drones total. the reapers can still attack the drone line on the ends of the mineral line for more drone loss.

I fell for the little invested, Reapers from a reaper expand build sets zerg too far behind. The window for unopposed harass is just too large.
This needs to be looked at as to keep zerg from have the economy needed to stop many 2 base rax pushes. It also delays 3 hatch muta so long the mutas are not able to arrive in time to keep Terran in their base. This brakes the build.

If the window was smaller at 20 seconds. Terran can still be cost effective with reapers with out destroying all ZvT builds.

The new version immediately closes when I start it. I see a little flicker of the window loading and then it closes without any message.

Have you downloaded and installed the Window Redist. thingie?
Are you using Windows XP?
You should post on the Starbowmod support forums. The devs are really active there.

You click the dots "..." to the left of this User Folder option and direct it to the Folder where you can find your folder called "Replays" This is usually in C:Users\My Documents\StarCraft II

I think you just need to play against it more. I see no problems playing against reaper openings, and I open fast expand, pool, expand again then gas. You probably need to use 2 enrages, but you certainly have room for 2 enrages. I only needed to make 3 sets of lings, and could have gotten away with 2 sets, while not even losing 1 drone. Unless your micro is really bad I just don't see how you think it could be game breaking.

Need to have some sort of forum or specific thread with individuals to review potential games that involved hacks/hackers and reverse wins/losses/points if they were indeed hacking.

Is that vs 1 reaper or 2/3? as reaper just eat slow lings. 4 or 6 lings just don't live long enough for speed to get out.
