Blizzard has released a new patch which just allows you to play StarCraft online without a CD, which is very convenient.





Feature Changes

- StarCraft and StarCraft: BroodWar no longer require the CD while playing the
game. To play without the CD, please follow the following instructions:

- Windows Users:
- Make sure you have "Hide extensions for known types" unchecked under
Explorer Folder Options.
- If you own only StarCraft, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft CD to
your StarCraft folder and rename it to "StarCraft.mpq".
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft:
Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "BroodWar.mpq".

- Mac users:
- If you own only StarCraft, copy "StarCraft Archive" from the StarCraft CD
to your StarCraft folder.
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "Brood War Archive" from the
StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder.

a note from one our own users with MAC: Starcraft does not work when put you put Archive in the Starcraft folder. You have to put it in the folder labeled Starcraft Files INSIDE the Starcraft folder. Then it works without the CD


Note: I was only able to attain the patch connecting to Battle.net via the USEast gateway. Also please note that it is only working on USEast at the moment, so proceed with caution. I expect the other realms to be updated with this patch soon, but have not received any official word from Blizzard.

Thanks to LeGeNdZs for posting this in our forums.

Update: This patch only works on USEast at the moment, you have been warned!


EDIT 19.25: The 1.15.2 version is now on all servers



unk from iCCup says:
Now you can join iCCup server using both 1.15.1 and newly released 1.15.2 SC:BW client version. Anti-hack is updated and now is only possible for the latest 1.15.2 version.

Note: we didn't update server version for MACs, but will make it as soon as possible.

iCCup tech crew.
