BUG FIXES

General
  • StarCraft II will no longer download upcoming patch data while the game is running.
  • Fixed an issue where players would be unable to change their language if patch data was not 100% downloaded via the game launcher.
  • Fixed several issues causing the game to turn unresponsive when pausing and leaving the game in various states.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause the game to run low on video memory.

  • Fixed a countdown display issue when utilizing the Take Command feature in the Korean and Taiwanese game clients.

Battle.net
  • It is now possible to properly un-bookmark Arcade maps from outside of the Bookmark page.
  • Fixed a number of issues related to the “only officers will be shown” warning text reserved for Groups with large rosters.
  • Clans and Groups rosters are no longer sorted in reverse order.
  • Clans and Groups are now defined properly in chat when typing in a game.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when creating a Clan or Group using certain combinations of special characters.
  • Fixed a display issue that could occur when scrolling down a large Group roster list.
  • It is now possible to use special characters in Clan and Group names.
  • It is now possible to use spaces in the names of groups in the Russian game client.

No way :D Global Play ftw :D

Edit: I guess global play isn't really live yet. I knew there was a regions button, but it still doesn't work T_T

I've been playing on different regions for the past two or so months already, but cool they finally released it for everyone without having to do additional stuff. Also GJ doing the 'no more downloading while playing game' stuff.

For those who weren't aware, Global Play has already been live for a couple months - you just had to download the regions.xml file. But good now that everyone knows about it.
