Blizzard issues new patches for Starcraft
The nation of Korea let out a collective "GG!" today as Blizzard released a new patch for both the original Starcraft and its expansion, Brood War. Starcraft has been on the shelves for a little over nine years now, surviving countless leaps in technology to remain one of the most popular strategy titles available. This patch doesn't fiddle with the intricate balance achieved by nearly a decade of competitive play, but it does iron out few of the last remaining bugs before Starcraft II arrives.
- Made stability improvements to replay saving code.
- Fixed a bug where the map download progress was not shown.
- Pressing alt-f4 while in Starcraft and logged into a league now logs you out of the league.
- Updated some of the localization for the league page.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed nukes to fall anywhere on the map.

You must construct additional pylons.

Why aren't you guys busy playing Bioshock? Unless you live in PST timezone...I expect radio silence for the rest of today.
James @ Aug 21st 2007 7:34PM
Because it's just another dark and dismal FPS with RPG overtones (seems to be the fashion for any genre these days) and therefore unappealing for people other than you?
Neebs @ Aug 21st 2007 8:00PM
Because Steam sucks :(
Kaemon @ Aug 21st 2007 9:39PM
Because not all of us own a 360 nor a PC that can play... we just wish for one.
Haha.

I have to do homework. =[ Also, if I limit myself to one hour a day, the game lasts longer (even though I played three hours today, but c'mon).
Matt B @ Aug 21st 2007 10:29PM
So true Neebs. I'm on hour 4 but at least I'm at 96%.
Neebs @ Aug 21st 2007 11:12PM
Shit Matt, you haven't even hit the hell yet?

I really hope that South Korea becomes critically unstable. Not because I wish for a North Korean invasion or destruction of the country, but because I want to see CNN report that the government has split into three factions: Terran, Zerg and Protoss.

The not showing of map download progress bug was annoying. I'm glad they fixed it.
Stupidiot @ Aug 21st 2007 7:28PM
It may be new, but I'm not feeling the exciting on this one :|

Holy crap they love that game. Those are actual reactions in that pic. Just for the patch.

MY LIFE FOR AIUR!
Cabcru @ Aug 21st 2007 7:38PM
Nine years and they've just got round to these bugs?
*looks at the bugs in WoW*
Oh nuts...
hydralisk456 @ Aug 21st 2007 8:01PM
I wouldn't really call these bugs.... more like annoyances really, Blizzard could have ignored them and no one would really mind, oh and,
POWER OVERWHELMING!
DaMan09 @ Aug 21st 2007 7:44PM
That is kinda odd.
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 21st 2007 8:16PM
no porn and no Starcraft make Koreans something something
Ken Seang @ Aug 21st 2007 8:16PM
Now if only EA has this kind of support for their games...
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 21st 2007 8:25PM
But how are they to make money if they literally can't sell a new Madden every year?
John @ Aug 21st 2007 8:47PM
That pic is fragging awesome, the foreground, head, and hands create a bizarre perspective.
Backslash @ Aug 21st 2007 9:03PM
Awww, just look at all them Zerglings!
Phillip @ Aug 21st 2007 9:16PM

Zer0 @ Aug 21st 2007 10:07PM

Meh Bioshock is ok but its not as grand as SS2 was,still a good game (7-8) is a good game.
hell if any other game made as much dueling(PVP) money it would be patched every few years as well.
