StarCraft Patch 1.16 Now Available
Posted on 26 November 2008 by Erik
Blizzard has released a patch for its decade old RTS hit StarCraft.
Patch 1.16 offers some optimizations: “[StarCraft] now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly.” In-game chat (excluding whispers) is now saved in the replays. There’s some bug fixes and the removal of several exploits including Terrans drop-anywhere nukes and some additional Zerg exploits as well.
Here are the full notes:
Feature Changes
* In-game chat is now saved in replays. Note: whispers are not saved.
* Hitting the Escape key while in the chat room will clear your typed text.
* “/reply” (or just “/r”) will send a whisper to person who most recently whispered you.
Bug Fixes
* Fixed localization issues with “from” and “to” in whispers.
* Starcraft now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly.
Exploits
* Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to gain minerals through mutations.
* Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to recycle an upgrading building.
* Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to extend their creep with a drone.
* Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to move Drones over impassable terrain.
* Fixed an exploit which allowed Terran players to drop a nuke anywhere on the map.
* Fixed an exploit which allowed players to pause the game while in the pre-game lobby.

The trailers shows that sequel will be at least as good as original was. But this delaying of game launch seems to be more matter of monetization strategy, not development issues.
