Even though StarCraft is over 10 years old, Blizzard Entertainment has released patch 1.16 for its highly-acclaimed real-time strategy game. Patch 1.16 saves in-game chat in replays. In addition, StarCraft now only uses as much central processing powers as it needs to run smoothly. The patch also fixes a number of exploits.
A complete list of patch notes are posted below:
Feature Changes
In-game chat is now saved in replays. Note: whispers are not saved.
Hitting the Escape key while in the chat room will clear your typed text.
"/reply" (or just "/r") will send a whisper to person who most recently whispered you.
Bug Fixes
Fixed localization issues with "from" and "to" in whispers.
StarCraft now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly.
Exploits
Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to gain minerals through mutations.
Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to recycle an upgrading building.
Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to extend their creep with a drone.
Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to move Drones over impassable terrain.
Fixed an exploit which allowed Terran players to drop a nuke anywhere on the map.
Fixed an exploit which allowed players to pause the game while in the pre-game lobby.
The patch comes in two versions for both StarCraft and its expansion StarCraft: Brood War. To download the updates, visit Blizzard.com.
