StarCraft Patch 1.161 Released

how bout fixing the old Valkyrie sprite issue?

The only problem I see with everyone's comment that its nice to see them patch a game 11 years later is well.....

Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 are comming out "soon" and they now have a shit tonne of cash from WoW. Maybe blizzard thought that hey, if we patch starcraft, it will look like a huge sign of good faith and thus the other games will sell more.

This game wasn't patched for i'd say 6-7 of those 11 years. There MUST be a reason they have started doing it again.

Yet they can´t add more resolution options and view inside a window...

I'm amazed they are doing this. Awesome that you get support for you product so long after its release.

While others whine about how patching their crappy bug game 3 days after release is too expensive.

hmmm... Did Blizzard run out of starcraft 2 and diablo 3 screenshots to showcase this week?

So word is the added latency with CPU throttling has been mostly dealt with, but imperfectly and may still appear in corner cases. But now you can turn it off if needed. I'd still hope to see another patch to actually get throttling working right.

And we may see one. Replays with saved text (introduced in 1.16.0) is sweet, but buggy. Pausing the game, chatting, then unpausing renders the replay unviewable past the point where you paused.

There's concern this will lead to abuse on moderated ladders, where an abuser could pause, type "nvm", unpause then proceed to hack, and you have no replay to check and see if he did or to present to the moderators. Bad news for ICCUP.

So looks like we get to wait a little longer for a completely usable successor to 1.15.3

Sign of a company that has developed some very clever marketing techniques. While it's partly to help the significant number of people who still play this game, I think they've also got Starcraft 2 in mind. With DoW 2 coming out, this is a good way to keep SC2 in peoples' minds.

Sign of a quality company right there. Still patching their older work. :)

StarCraft needs to support higher resolutions. Make the game look like how it does in the campaign editor.

ah sweet cause my 2.0ghz conroe could barely run it last time

On the flipside, eleven years to fix a bug, tsk tsk tsk.

wait, so they added a new feature, and also fixed a bug in the new feature??

NICE!

I'd hate to be the guy that still has to patch Starcraft. But awesome of Blizzard for still doing it (though Korea would declare war if they didn't...)
