USEast, USWest, Asia, Europe. All have games that say FruX > You, if you click them, your game crashes. Nobody can create games either because of these games. I've heard that it's called "Packet Hacking", where the guy is making all games invalid to join, unless you join within 5 seconds the person hosted. So, any way to get around this? (Besides making private games)
Really want to play this fun Korean Defense map I found, but with no players, I can't. :'(



None.

Go play on iccup's server or something. Or just wait for the douchebags hacking all the games to stop.

This has been happening for a while now. Wait a few, it'll go away.

I'm surprised the crash game creator is so common, or is that a friend of Jiggie again?
Who knows.

Oblivion had crash protection against this and another tool could remove all 6-red latency games from your list which usually removed these games as well, but Gamethreat doesn't even have hacks anymore, and this site doesn't support them.
:bleh:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
