Pete Stilwell, développeurs dans l'équipe Classique, a annoncé au cours de la soirée d'hier l'ouverture du PTR de la mise à jour 1.18 de StarCraft premier du nom, partageant au passage le patch notes complet de celle-ci ainsi que les différents problèmes connus. Pour rappel, cette dernière a pour but de préparer l'arrivée de StarCraft : Remastered cet été tout en rendant le bundle Anthology gratuit au passage.

Diverses fonctionnalités sont ainsi ajoutés, comme le mode observateur, la sauvegarde automatique des replays, la possibilité de modifier vos raccourcis, et bien d'autres choses que je vous invite à découvrir ci-dessous.

Si vous souhaitez testez ces modifications par vous-même, le client est disponible à cette adresse.
