Patch 1.3.6 added some cool UI changes. You can see your rank at the multiplayer menu. Also, you can see how much minerals you get back after cancelling a structure. Oddly enough, none of it is listed in the patch notes.

It's patch 1.4 that just came out. Patch 1.3.6 came out in July.

You're right! For some reason, I only saw patch 1.3.6 in the updater and assumed 1.4 wasn't released. I played some games today and didn't bother to check if the immortal's range was 6. :pinch:

I especially like that you can still NP massive units. They reverted that change during patch development. However, the reduced range makes it so that NP is very impractical in most situations now. I haven't seen it used once in the most recent tournament (where IdrA won btw <3), IEM Guangzhou.

I understand that it's useful for taking out massive units and the removal of that aspect of the ability is a huge blow to infestors. Fortunately for non-Zerg players, it means worrying less about neural parasite and more about fungal growth. That ability is insanely effective against Terran and Protoss. In a lot of cases, over 75% of my army is taken out because of a few well-placed fungal growths. It's even more annoying when a bunch of your stalkers are taken out quite easily rather than zealots.

I'm glad they delayed the barracks build time because I found the 1/1/1 build to be both annoying and cheap. Anyway, it's funny you mentioned teamliquid.net because I just recently reset my password for my account there just to start posting around (to discuss Protoss strategy).

Fungal growth is part of the "creep", and Zerg units always make better time moving over "creeped" turf than over normal turf.

For Terrans, you likely need to send in Firebats as part of your ground force simply to deal with the creep (and fungal growth, of course).

He's talking about multiplayer. You don't get Firebats in multiplayer nor do you ever get to play Zerg in the single player.

I don't understand how fungal growth has any relation to Zerg creep. One is an area of effect spell and the other is living material that spreads out from Zerg structures (and offers a movement speed bonus for Zerg ground units).

Also, Firebats are only available in the campaign.

He must be confusing it with creep tumors, I guess.

That makes sense.

Anyway, the current season is locked until the week of Oct. 24th and future seasons will last for two months. Also, there's a new career page that shows your league and rank in previous seasons.

There's speculation that it may be a mobile shield battery. I hope this is true because it could be good against Terran armies that have ghosts. Their EMP ability is very hard to deal with because it's damn-near impossible to dodge.

Looks pretty good. However I don't think I'll rush to buy it it like I did with Wings of Liberty. The new units look like major game changers, pros will have to relearn the entire game.

A question, was it Nova, or Karigen (sp?) that was supposed to star in the never released Ghost game? Sad that game never saw the light of day, I was always looking forward to it since I first saw screen shots of it in old PC gamer magazines many years ago.

It was Nova.

I really wanted to play it too when I first read about it.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
