We have waited and waited and waited and... Ya, you got the picture. Ever since it was announced that 1.15 was on it's way people have kept their eyes open, but seen nothing new until today.Just minutes ago Blizzard released patch 1.15 for StarCraft.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- patch 1.15.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature Changes
- Approved organizations can now operate StarCraft leagues. See
http://www.battle.net.
- Replays are automatically saved as LastReplay.rep.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that allowed burrowed units to be stacked.
Exploits
- Fixed a vulture exploit that crashed games.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed the rally points of others to be set.
- Fixed a multicommand hack that crashed Macintosh players.
The above is from the patch change log. The biggest feature change we were already aware about, and that was the thing about organizations being allowed to host leagues. Now of course the question everyone is asking is: "What about WGTour?". Hopefully GosuGamers will be able to catch a WGTour representant for a comment shortly.
The replay feature that has been implemented exists also in Warcraft 3. If you play a game and do not save the replay afterwards, it will be automatically saved and named "LastReplay.rep". When your next game is played it will save it with the very same name, i.e. overwrite it.
The BWLauncher functions are not working with the new version, and that means no APM live, no observer mode and so on. And what is even worse for some - a lot of replays will be bugged as they can not be watched with BWLauncher. We will of course try to get a comment from the creators as soon as possible.
Some (in the eye of a user) smaller fixes has also been made to our beloved game. Please, report possible bugs, errors or any other useful information in the comments. And now - spread the word!
UPDATE
iLvY, WGTour administrator:
After a very long time of waiting we are happy that the patch is out now, I hope this will help our community to stay alive or even grow again.
I would thank our admins that stayed tuned and optimistic all the month and the community that believed in it. Let´s look in a positiv future and wait for the news Blizzard got for us this weekend.
