Manage your expectations. Game is free. You want it fixed "RIGHTNOW"? Well, pay for it or shut the fuck up. Oh you paid for it before? ITS BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE RELEASE! Fking hate this whiny ass community sometimes. Let the game flourish within its means. Complain when its well deserved, but there's no need to make drama over technical issues.

Nobody even complained about anything here(yet) even though they can complain all they want, this is more than a tiny glitch. Personally never seen a patch in any game (especially AAA) break a game so badly, and as someone who no longer plays sc2, this video is appreciated just to see what a mess it is now. | ||

Anthem On topic: Yesterday I had a login queue in b.net launcher for like the 2nd time ever (first was after this years blizzcon). Queue times did get longer the more I waited. Then launcher started and immediately shut down again. No idea if this is connected at all, but I guess they had some general issues as well | ||

This shouldn't happen with the experience they have. Yep. They make a f***ton of money since free to play. The patch is a minor balance patch (+maps+ co-op), tested for weeks on PTR. They introduced not a rare bug happening for some people on some hardware combination with old drivers and whatnot.... but simply broke the game for more than half the players, in multiple unrelated ways. And it's lasting. So, yeah.. stuff happens... and happens more with underpaid trainees maintaining a gryère-like 20 years old codebase written by alcoholic baboons. (have you see the article about Starcraft 1 ? they used C++ for fist time and wanted to use every feature just for fun and novelty, so the code is reputed to be horrendous and hard to maintain...) | ||

I haven't played the game in years and i guess it won't change. | ||

According to some even stuff like the WoL campaign is broken. I don’t expect patches to be flawless or completely bug free but the one thing I absolutely don’t expect is for them to break functionality of everything that previously worked fine. Which wouldn’t be nearly as much of an issue if it was easier to revert to old builds, but of course that isn’t the modern way either. | ||

They shouldn't push a patch that's not properly tested and which they cannot revert on time. Blizzard is a global company and ANY of their branches should be able to revert a patch and prepare an emergency patch which fixes a bug that's making the game unplayable. If they cannot right away fix it. Excusing this by time zones is not acceptable. Does this mean they're in so bad shape they don't have people who can do a basic revert? | ||

It’s incredibly frustrating when you have a really light week and your main aspiration is to get back actively playing the game. Ladder breaking is bad enough, but the campaigns being unplayable according to some accounts is just inexcusable as I’ve paid for those. | ||

Just check blizzard CS twitter, its actually sad. A small delay on a weekly planned maintenance for WoW classic has multiple posts and updates(like prob one hour late?). But SC2 new season, new commander, new balance changes completely unplayable for 24 hours. Dead silent, no update, no fuck given. Same on starcraft twitter. Cant find any update on it. Some basement dev found the cause in about 2 hours and its beeing discussed by players, but no word from blizzard. They release a huge patch with new MTX, and on the same day they dont leave a dev on call with possible backup in case of major issue with update? What a joke... | ||

If the problem is as simple as engine code handling certain system language settings perfectly but breaking when others are set, yes. It's not practical to make everybody in the world set their OS language settings a certain way though, anybody can not do it and break the game for everybody that they queue into. | ||

Other than that though, I haven't had any issues. I played a dozen or so games last night and they were mostly fine other than it being day 1 of the ladder season so most of the games were typical bad day 1 games with people cheesing to try to get promoted. I played 6 PvPs in a row and all were proxies. It was pretty funny. | ||

They put some mineral patches and geysers in the wrong place when making the ladder version of maps somehow, that's dumb for sure but it hardly matters until you can actually load a map without getting kicked out | ||

Blizz simultaneously fucked both broodwar and sc2 within about a week of each other. New broodwar patch dropped along with a new season, lots of people couldn't play and the game would open about 20 random processes and eat up all CPU. Others that could get in said the game felt sluggish and wasn't running well regardless. Then they released a hotfix and as of yesterday lots of people couldn't log into battle net because it said they needed to update even though they were running the latest update. I'm not particularly angry but what the fuck is going on over there lol. All QA testers must have been on vacation so they just said fuck it it worked that one time we tested it five days ago so send it out. Blizz just aint the same. | ||

It does not take a long time from looking at this twitter that they just dont care about SC2 players. We are nothing to them. If this was any other game, this would be resolved, or patch would be reverted until its ready and stable. Or at the very least, we would get an update every couple hours. | ||

If the new patch breaks everything else, just revert to the previous functional patch. If that’s for some reason not feasible at least communicate with the community as to what’s going on. I understand sometimes weird bugs happen or whatever that are unexpected but it’s the combination of either not reverting to the previous stable build, or alternatively communicating why that isn’t viable that is really frustrating. | ||

Other than the odd game on the Brazil server, pretty much everyone else speaks English in game on NA so it makes sense that those of us on NA would have a substantially smaller chance of hitting this bug since many folks would have their OS set to English. Obviously there will be people that don't have their OS set to English, but that's likely to be a substantially smaller percentage of people in NA compared to EU. | ||

For Heroes of the Storm, they patched up some of the issues with the engine and introduced multi-core support, but none of that made it back to SC2 since it would have required a relatively big overhaul. I think Nathanias has talked about this before a couple times and a few others. | ||

 the launcher has a "scan and repair" button, feels so weird that i have to be the one to always type out the obvious  errors are a fun concept to dwell into, no? .. one such error makes many a dedicated 7 days a week gamer on the sc2 arcade have to struggle needlessly.. this bug has been there for years now.. and no outrage no lobbying has occurred for it anywhere .. tsss! shame on you "community"! ok so i'll be the voice of arcade people, just this last time .. we call it the rejoin bug (on a platform dedicated to its "online" experience .. excuse me while i triple facepalm and start to lose a little bit of my composure...) let me explain how the bug works.. by now we should be calling it a feature, no?  the gamer hell bent on opening a lobby to gather gamers to play the video games has to re log in / out back in (type password obviously every time) at the end of every game (every 15 minutes to 30) .. i mean "at least re logging goes quicker than actually reopening the game" you say.. yes but no ! (if you close up you lose stuff you don't lose if you "only" re log but closing the game makes you open it again and that has its own things .. so lets agree that that would be different so comparing it makes no sense.. apples and oranges). i mean at this point i would welcome a big shinny "re log" button appearing as a quicker solace solution at the end of my game .. rather than 50 buttons that all fail when used... ............................................................ now.. let us postulate that you already know about this .. and you come in this thread to read about this recent patch? .. why would this uninteresting bug be of any interest to you ? why would it need to be mentioned in this "discussion"/thread? .. a thread depicting this "latest" blizzard patching of their game (this is the end of this patch i think and there was at least 3 patches / 1 patch and two hot fixes applied (or just one hotfix via two "extra" patches)) ..? the why is always easy, the bug i'm talking about forces gamers to unlog and therefore we kick ourselves out "willingly" in order to get back in .. which we don't since you can't log in during those "hot fixes" moments.. ??? has blizzard just found best way to clear its servers of its gamers ? to dress up and play make believe and then re open its doors? how nice! this would explain why we have this ARCADE bug on its 3rd to 4th year .. .. that makes more sense no? | ||
