It's about time they added antialiasing support.
The fact that this game didn't support antialiasing up to this point is insane, but what's even more insane is that I never noticed aliasing and never wanted anti-aliasing. Somehow Blizzard does 3D graphics that don't suffer from aliasing. :s

It is precisely this fact that led me to call the SC II beta one of the most hardware-friendly AAA titles done by anybody.

However, for some reason, they did NOT change the default settings based on hardware detection from the RTM/GA settings - it still defaults to Low detail for GPUs with 512MB of DDR3, despite High (not Ultra) detail being just as playable (albeit at 1280x720).

One thing I have decidedly noticed is that the backgrounds (all maps) are decidedly crisper than the RTM/GA versions of the same maps - has anyone else noticed this (1.5.0 beta only)?

Just saw this on TeamLiquid and anther site with the response from the Training Facility

Snip of the post.

Hello everyone

So if someone didn't know I moved into Ministry of Win gaming house a month ago. We agreed on skype that I stay there for 3 months and I pay 2500zlt monthly (around 600euros).

I left/got kicked from the house yesterday because I didn't sign the contract. I wanted to get my lawyer to check the contract before signing it, because in my opinion it was full of ****:

Basically the contract said that a player who comes to the house needs to stream for MoW 150hours a month (5hours a day) and MoW house takes a cut from your streaming revenues: So basically you come to the house, you pay 600euros so you could have best conditions to practice but still you have to work for the house?

I mean if you have this kind of "surprises" in the contract, why don't you tell them before player actually comes to the house? When we talked about my coming I was only interested about my practicing over there and that's what we agreed.

In his forum post, Romppanen explains that he and Krupowies agreed via a Skype conversation that the Fin would stay at the house for three months at a rate of 600 euros per, which would be paid by Romppanen to MoW. However, a month following Fuzer?s moving in to the house, he had still not signed the contract. ?I wanted to get my lawyer to check the contract before signing it, because in my opinion it was full of ****,? Fuzer said in his TeamLiquid.net post.

I dont know my thoughts on contract stuff is should be signed even before you enter the facility.

Merged

I guess I haven't been following StarCraft 2 eSports enough to know about Ministry of Win. I saw a video tour of the house on YouTube and it looks better than a hotel. Anyway, it doesn't make sense to move into a house without signing a contract. MoW is at fault for allowing this. Also, Samuli "Fuzer" Romppanen is at fault for not reading the contract because it seems like he was surprised by the 150 hours per month streaming requirement.

I like the last update. Game seems to actually look much better.

i had this game since its release, but havent played much online.

i like to take my time and build my base, lol and usually people spam alot of units quickly (no idea how) and attack me. ruins the game i think, But thats probably only because i don't know how to counter their attack.

I've played hours upon hours of Starcraft from the first game to this one, but usually only against AI.

i was wondering if there were any SCII MP noobs that would like to play some games with me? ha

Terran. A huge amount of scv's, second and even third command centres, 2 or 3 barracks, factories, etc... win

Zerg is even easier, so long as you have the overlords.

Protoss, couldn't care less, :p

Wow. The opening cinematic for Heart of the Swarm was amazing. Blizzard always does it right with cinematics. I can't wait to see what they come up with for Legacy of the Void (Protoss expansion).

    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
