StarCraft & Brood War 1.16.1 patch out

January 22, 2009 in News comments 2

Following up on the 1.16 patch released for StarCraft back in November, Blizzard has put out another -- 1.61 -- and it's yours for the taking. Not much different -- the main change seems to be improved processor handling.

This one's for Windows only at the moment, though the Mac version will be coming shortly. The game can be updated via Battle.net or ActionTrip/AtomicGamer.

Feature Changes

- In-game Speed Options menu now has a "Enable CPU Throttling" checkbox.
Enabling this option will allow StarCraft to consume fewer CPU cycles. By
default this option is off.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed an issue with the reply feature where any character followed by a "r "
was being treated as a reply.
- Removed an unnecessary delay when processing palette cycling updates.
- Lessened the imposed delay in the CPU Throttling feature.

    FINALLY

    That's all I can really say about it. 1.16 was so broken and I have no idea why it took Blizzard this long to fix it.

    Oh, and it's not v1.61. , it's actually 1.16.1

      Probably took them awhile cause they're busy with StarCraft II.

      Ah, a mistake on the part of Blue's News. Thanks.
