May I know why do I still have buggy colors?
It's still nearly impossible to read what is being said in the lobby of games. D=

There you go for the screenshot.

EDIT: Wait, wtf? When I took the screenshot, the colors really were screwed.
@_@

Weird behaviour!

a) I see no proof at all that you followed the intructions correctly.
b) The colors are fine.

The amount of help you receive on a problem is directly correlated to the amount of information you provide.
We need proof of your OS and a screeny of the respective reg key you should have created/modified through the above instructions.
To do the latter press [Windows] + R and enter "regedit". Then follow the tree structure to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectDraw\Compatibility\Starcraft116 and upload a screeny of that.

Though it seems I cannot screenshot my buggy colors: the one I provided was taken while I had those colors and, weirdly, it shows all okay! O.o

That's because the color bug is due to a palette issue (only 256 colors) which do not apply to the screenshots (simplified).

This happens to me too but once you get in a game, the color will fix itself.

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
