Inverted Mouse Drag - SC: Remastered

Just wondering if there's anyway to 'invert mouse scroll' on SC:R?

I use it when playing SC2 so switching back and forth between the two games is quite jarring.

The Dreamhack Melbourne 2024 SC2 FFA certainly was something.

Only 3 players including myself signed up, so one of the guys at the admin desk ended up playing too. We had two games, one of the players deciding not to play the second.

The two games we played were on 8 player maps, the second map was meant to be played 4v4 so me and another player shared the same high ground.

Prize tickets were given to the top 3 players of each BYOC LAN event. So automatically all 3 of us got tickets.

I still did have fun, even if it was scuffed.

Reaper grenades can cancel recall and make ground units fly permanently [Glitch]

Was playing around I found something that could be abused. Imagine Maru adding one reaper and canceling every recall with some good timing .

Can you help me get even better?

Hey everyone, Firstly, what an amazing community. I put up a post yesterday of some gameplay footage and asked for tips on how to improve. I’m a bronze player who’s back after maybe 3 years and I never really played competitive, but recently I fell into a hole of watching matches online and just got the desire to get even better (with your help)

Huge shoutout to the people who helped me on the last post, the advice was invaluable.

I’ve tried to incorporate as much as I could into this next match, but I would still love to know what I can do to improve.

Obviously if I get the same feedback as I did on the last video, I know it’s a pain point that needs some attention.

Here is my latest game https://youtu.be/qJlVxIbLsG8?si=grOSzPL-ROONzjSv

Thanks so much for everything so far. Great community. ❤️❤️

Does anyone know who the artist(s) who made the Starcraft 1 score screen art and before/after mission art?

I'm working on a little project to make MtG cards out of SC units, events, abilities, etc. And since i want to give proper credit to the artists, I'm having a hard time finding who created a lot of this older art. Also, unit portraits since I know I'm gonna have a few cards represented by the ingame portraits.

The art in particular I'm having trouble with is the Terran score screen art of the marine yelling in front of a building and a yellow sky.

3vs3 Strategy ?

Hello,

Anyone has any in-depth 3vs3 strategy or youtube channel/ guide to recommend?

I followed this advice so far https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/17a09d0/comment/k5caz2s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

And it has been working great, I am playing as Terran mech and my allies are usually Protoss or Terran as well.

I've been struggling a bit against Void Rays, they just engage and kill my Thors and Vikings. Are Widow mines the answer. Also against Tempest I've struggled a bit as well.

What would you generally do as Mech Terran when you are maxed out or 150 supply? Do you walk the shortest route to the enemies main base?

Weird issue with arcade lag, anybody else?

So when I started the game up today and went to the custom section, everything kind of froze. Can't click anything, when I tab out it only shows a black screen when I tab back to it or takes like 10 seconds to load available lobbies, where usually its instant. CPU and GPU are at 30-40 % capacity, but everythings super slow. Did actually manage to get into a game, but still super weird. Was not laggy for campaign or queue tabs.

What is the minimum number of bonus minerals you’d need to beat Serral?

You start the game with this number of bonus minerals. I picked Serral because he is the greatest of all time. You may substitute bonus minerals for any other handicap. You may not substitute Serral.

Online gaming doesn't work

Hey my laptop is broken so I'm trying sc2 on an older one, the problem is when I install and try to play it doesn't let me to play 2v2 or 1v1, even the option to choose races doesn't appear in 1v1 and 2v2 section, only error is when I log in it says achievements are disabled until further notice, the chats work in game but it also doesn't show my profile picture or mmr, games played on each race and stuff like that

I've tried re installing the game, battle.net, messing with firewall and turning it off, vpn, diffrent dns and also clearing the cache

Thanks for your time

Who is the voice in the Darkness?

Was the voice in the Darkness ever shown or officially defeated? Randomly came upon it's wiki page and I don't remember it. Tbh I only played Legacy of the void and the free demo for the Terran campaign. As far as I know it still exists and it was confirmed to not be Amon. So I'm confused. Was he supposed to be the Starcraft 3 villian or what?

I think these changes will fix the game.

What do you think? Please let me know.

All protoss units and structures: -80% health, the health that gets removed is re-added as shields.

Disruptor: +500 damage vs shields. May hit air units, but only with the shield damage.

High templar: +800 damage vs shields, psionic storm is now capable of damaging structures. Feedback also may now be used to drain shields in the same way that it drains energy.

Sentry hallucination: now capable of dealing damage to shields. Deals 10,000% damage.

Shield battery: now capable of draining enemy shields to convert to energy. Drains shields from all enemies in a range of 16 at a rate of 20 shields per second.

I think these very subtle changes to the way these units work would be a good first step towards helping refine the delicate balance of this game. Let me know what you think!

SC2 Menu Lag / Games taking long time to load WITH FIX

I noticed last night I was having some insane menu lag on a PC that has never struggled even a little bit with SC2 (new build, Core i7 14th gen, 64gb ram, 4TB SN850X NVMe, you get the picture). Been playing fine for months and suddenly last night I'm riding the struggle bus to search / join custom games.

Heard on Discord that disabling the mature language filter / profanity filter would fix this and sure enough it immediately resolved my issue. Back to its normal snappy self.

Figured I'd share what was shared with me and hope that lets others game! GLHF
