So I think my wireless adapter is shit and has been giving me a poor, unstable connection. My phone's wifi is 30u/10d and when I used it as a tether my computer was also 30u/10d. If my adapter is the problem I'll need a new one.

Does anyone have recommendations of any good wireless adapters or usb dongles? I'd like it to be under $50 ideally around $30.



None.

When I was building my computer, I was going to get the one that Roy linked, but it was out of stock or w/e, so I got this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/G4H323/tp-link-wireless-network-card-tlwdn4800

I've had 0 problems with it and it's always connected, so if you can't get the Gigabyte one, this one is good, too.

You don't need to spend anywhere near that much: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008IFXQFU/ref=pd_aw_vtph_147_bs_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5J47PTCND09GW2SHGEAZ

You can get them as cheap as $2 + shipping, although a few people complain about the distance those ones work at. Depends what you need it for, you could go with a cheapie one and if it doesn't work, you're not out much.



None.

Just here for the activity... well not really

I'm a little late but make sure you get one that supports dual-band (both 2.4 and 5 GHz). Some of the super cheap ones (like the one Lanthanide posted) don't, and it's a huge difference.

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 -- 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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
