Back when i still played on ICCUP(with windows 7 fullscreen) i had no problems at all. Well maybe the colours being fucked up once in a while | ||

Many users including myself run Brood War fine on Windows 7. I never even had to do any of these colour fixes. I just run as admin and it is fine. I think people accuse Windows 7 too quickly. They think the only thing new about their new laptop or whatever is Windows 7. There are more parts to a computer than just the OS... Especially the widescreen issue. Not at a Windows 7 issue at all. Definitely some users will experience some issues, but I have used BW on 3 different windows 7 machines with no problems...

Are there still people who make money playing broodwar pro, or is it purely a recreational thing? I think it's hard to experience any kind of success in any ESPORT. Much harder if you are not already passionate about the game you are trying to get into... SCBW is fun and you should play it, but don't play any game expecting to make money off it... it's a game. Some people through hard work and luck have managed to scrape by their living expenses, some very small number of people have managed to make good money for a few years, but if you want money you should get a job ;p Or an education, and then a better job. Even if you tried to make money off SC2 you'd probably only get peanuts. Top of the pyramid guys like tastosis and Day9 or inc played games for 10 years at a competitive level before they made any money off it. I'm sure there's examples of people with far less impressive resumes who made some money quickly in ESPORTS, but you're gonna find that number getting really small the closer you get to "people who made money intending to be a professional at a game they've hardly played before." Careers in esports are about turning something you're already passionate about into a career by utilizing real-world professional skills you've developed. Well, anyone could tell you that including yourself... But I'd rather answer you like this rather than say "there's no careers left in BW." Some ex pros seem to make enough money off afreeca to scrape by, or at least supplement their income. Maybe BW will get bigger again. Maybe it won't. Maybe you choose to get good at LoL because LoL has a scene right now. Maybe by the time you are good, LoL isn't popular anymore and there's a new ESPORT. So maybe you are young and not quite ready to accept your work might not be your hobby... Well you're gonna need a lot more drive than that to even spin the wheel of fortune | ||

I used to put my desktops resolution to 640 x 480, and then run StarCraft in windowed mode, in the middle. The effect was full screen StarCraft. | ||

Most are difficult to find yourself without explicitly looking for them. One example that is legal is keeping Terran turrets from firing by first maneuvering a Protoss observer directly above one and then pressing the "Stop" command on the observer. Things like that you won't really think to even try without first hearing about it so you shouldn't be worried about accidentally breaking a rule. BW runs fine on Windows 7. I don't even run iCCup launcher with compatibility enabled. Have fun and go learn some builds! There is a very clear list of rules on the iccup website. http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/sc_ladder_rules.html I'd just like to point out the bug you just mentioned is illegal, not legal. There's a world of difference between the two, as in one is the complete opposite of the other. Judging from the context of your post it's just a typo, but that's a terrible mistake to make ... anyway yes most if not all of the "bugs" that are not allowed require prior knowledge and are very unlikely to be done accidentally. | ||

How to wtfpwn SCBW freeze in fullscreen mode 1) start up SCBW fullscreen 2) alt+tab out and bring up task manager 3) go to proesses and click on "Show processes from all users" 4) right click on Starcraft.exe 5) click on "Select Affinity..." 6) set it so that only 1 core is checked off 7) enjoy game my computer runs on an i7 processor, 4gigs of ram and uses windows 7 I believe the reason why BW freezes was because it uses like 100% of your CPU when its running, so on higher end PCs it'll fuck shit up AKA the freeze (disclaimer: not even 60% sure about this so don't take it as a hard fact). By limiting BW to only 1 core, you greatly reduce the chance of any freeze occurring. For me it got especially bad for a while where I'd freeze every game, and nothing I tried would fix it (color cycling, killing explorer.exe, etc). This is the method that ended up working for me. I still encountered a freeze very infrequently when I first used this method, but after a month or so, I have never encountered a freeze since (2+ years ago). This worked for me, and for my three other friends who were encountering the same problem. If you want to play it extra safe, you can also set core affinities on CPU-intensive programs too while you play, such as Firefox or any sort of IM program. Enjoy~ | ||

I tried BW like 4 months ago on ICCUP, but I found very few players and I found difficult to get into a game.. I won like 3-4 games on 15 without any knowledge of the game, just with my SC2 experience because it's pretty hard to find useful build orders. I want to play BW to improve my APM and multitasking, because on SC2 people are becoming very lazy, just 1 group control attack, no drops, no multi-pronged (either by terran players) and I play on master (EU) level with 110-140 APM, that's pretty low.. I can't improve against people who don't bring my skills to the limit, so I want to try a mechanical difficult game like BW and then return on SC2 with improved mechanics, I don't really know if this is useful, but let's see. | ||

I know people will say that if you want to get better at SC2 play SC2. Though if that was the case then people would never do isolation training in sport (e.g reflex training in ice hockey/f1, etc). If multitasking is your weakness then BW should improve that very quickly. | ||
