14 DAY TRIAL // Blizzard Entertainment has released a patch for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Patch, bringing the game to version 1.2.1 for Mac OS X and Windows. Immediately available as a free download from Softpedia, the patch delivers the usual bag of bug fixes and enhancements that players of the popular RTS game have come to expect.
Under the General tab in the release notes, Blizzard mentions a single change - Matchmaking has been updated to better match players queuing with pre-made teams in 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 Brackets.
[admark=1]A lengthy list of bug fixes then follows, some of which are listed below.
- Fixed an issue where the title of a conversation window was scaling rather than truncating. - Fixed an issue where the Match History score screen was displaying "Null" for the map info for all games played before Patch 1.2. - Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause players to be improperly disconnected from a game.
For StarCraft II fans playing their favorite RTS on a Mac, Blizzard has fixed “an issue that would cause the Control key to become stuck when holding Control and minimizing the game window, then going back to the game window and attempting to use Control+1 to create a control group.”
A number of tweaks are also available for Maps, including a fixed issue with foliage that would die and become visible through the fog of war when a player is spawned as zerg.
For the StarCraft II Editor, more bug fixes are included in Patch 1.2.1.
Starcraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg - three distinct and powerful races which clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the original StarCraft game.
The game introduces a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off.
