#Starcraft brood war patches Patch
The patch introduces BlizzardError.exe and SystemSurvey.exe to StarCraft for the first time.
It's unclear how many utilities will need to be updated to accommodate this patch at this time. Further, there have been reports of windowed mode being nonfunctional after patching the game. EUDs are naturally unstable between patches, so many UMS maps will no longer function once the patch rolls out. The most alarming concerns are centered around what this patch breaks. This means it could very well be the completed patch, and it's only being delayed until the ported version is also ready. It's very likely that the reason the patch has not been pushed out is due to the lack of Mac compatibility. The most interesting patch note is the claim of a reduced game latency over, though "Increased turn rate" is a strange way to phrase it (unless they literally mean they've increased the turn radius speed for all units when playing on ). It sounds like mostly compatibility fixes, and a true fix to the color distortion issue that's been around since the days of Windows Vista. Mac is not supported this patch, but is in progress First client run will migrate saves to avoid issues from Windows system admin changes Fixed palette issues to correct "rainbow water" and other graphic artifacts Increased turn rate to lower unit response times over gameplay Starcraft and Brood War Patch Information
