I love this game to this day and play it regularly. But when I save a replay (after I won against the computer) and watch it I lose... I dont get it has this happened to you? Do I need an update?

Im on version 1.13f


Thanks

Youre probably watching the wrong replay

Are you watching the game from the computer's perspective?

Is it possible that the team you think you're playing is actually the computer?

That's funny this thread has been brought up.

Before one week ago, I hadn't played StarCraft in six years...at least. My friend tells me he was playing it and sure enough I went out and bought another copy and joined him on battle.net. It's funny to see how battle.net is still very active with StarCraft.

It's nice to appreciate how good this game was...and now how I can't stop playing it.

Yea, Starcraft was so great.

Okay, stupid question but if I dig out my old (OS9) copy of Starcraft, is there a free download for OSX I can play on my G5? Also, I've got a 23" display. Can I pick screen res or does it just scale to fill the screen.

1. Yes, there is a Carbon updater some place.

2. No, there's no screen rez option that I know of.

Sometimes it screws up replays and shows someone else winning, that's not your imagination. I think if you accelerate the replay it is more likely to screw it up.
