Starcraft 2 Beta


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the info bro.

As for the LAN...that sucks, BUT surely someone will mod that in within a few months? lol

also yeah the cracked AI sucks so badly.

That is because the cracked AI is using a messed up version from the original game however, with the new abilities and whatnot the AI simply does not have the power to do anything.

So did gamestop run out of beta keys? i preordered last week so i got my key.. seems pretty funny actually they are out of keys yet upsetting for those wanting one

yeah. We ran out the day and time blizzard announced Starcraft2 released date... How ironic.

It's still a closed beta so I'm happy on that aspect. But Jesus. No notice or anything. I feel bad but we hve 25k people so hopefully this is a good test.

Also they need to put servers up for patching. Not stupid ass torrenting ****

Ugh, so they are using the WoW type of patching system? Boooooooo

also if u use the blizzard updater.. try disabling peer download... the download is usually faster just downloading from there server

The better thing to do is extract the torrent file from the downloader and then open the torrent file in your torrent client of choice.

Doing this will give you a huge speed increase because Blizzard's client is a piece of crap.

The patching system isn't perfect, but they're trying to reduce the overall cost of sending so much data. The p2p options above are the best way to get this to work faster and as Sikh has noted sometimes disabling peers makes it slower.

I'll play as soon as i get a code, lol.

Sure! :D

I'm currently sitting in 19th position, gold league, but I am too "scared" to play without a proper mate, had 6 wins, but then got random-teamed up with two *****, they only defended themselves... No attacks, no help, no anything. :(

By the way, today I am awesome on solo! :rofl: ~20 wins and ~3 losses! :D

Could anyone link me to a direct download of the EU client? It says... 7 HOURS until it will finish downloading...screw that!

Epic indeed. Just ~3 months left until I can get my hands on the Collector's Edition.

Whats sad is I want 2! I want that crazy kickass flash drive. I love collecting cool flash drives plus I know I would use it and be proud when people ask me where its from what it is(for the non techy).

Also, I want 1 as a true collectors and sits there, but right now i dont have $100 to "waste". I mean this is the best CE thats come out in the past few years for PC, so its a definite buy. I would never pay $60 for just the game anyway. The Soundtrack will be awesome xD. Starcraft in the car.

Haha! I'd buy two if I had the money to spare. I'm not big on collecting things but if I could buy one to use and another keep (sealed and everything), I'd definitely do it. Who knows how much it'd be worth once StarCraft III is released. :p

Anyway, I think I'll replay the StarCraft/Brood War campaign. It's been so long since I last played it and lately, the lore behind StarCraft has peaked my interest. I'm in it for the MP action but I'm also in it for the story. I'll just throw this here: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/blizzcon-09-starcraft-ii/54293 :)

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
