I just tried brood war again (the first time since getting windows 7 along with a ISP switch from Comcast to Brighthouse). There's exactly one game being hosted when i list "Show All".

(The sudden color distortion is also new...but inside bnet it seems okay.)

It's monday night, 9:30 EDT, so is bnet dead? or is something wrong with my computer or internet? It may also have something to do with the fact that I didn't instal SC, I just put in the CD and ran the .exe that migrated over on my Harddrive.



None.

It's not completely dead yet. You can still get a full house if you host the right games, which, unfortunately, are all dumb games that only 12 year olds enjoy. You should definitely be seeing more than one game under "Show All." At the very least, there are usually a few bot-hosted games that occupy the list.

7-11pm CST always has a fair number of games, HLS has full privs most nights (clan aura), UGL still thrives in op euro(, not dead, but it'll keep creepin' that way and will certainly seem like it during slower hours.

Try ChaosLauncher. StarCraft was not built for Windows 7 or modern day resolutions for that matter.

I noticed you didn't mention what server you're joining. You want to be on USEast.

No problem, I specifically thought of it because I've had the same thing happen :P

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
