i think the warp gate thing was bigger slap in the face to the protoss users than all of the zerg nerfs combined.

Zerg raped. But, that's a really great fix. Because, i find that Zerg is already too fast on training units.

i don't really see the difference... plus now the loading time is extremely long maybe because of this "fix" ...

and it messes up starcrack's launcher

Well, I do see the difference between no-effects-at-all and high-quality-effects And I noticed a small increasement in the loading time aswell.

Not sure which launcher you mean, but at least the Starcraft Beta Launcer works brilliantly (in which you have the ability to choose between different patch versions).

I had this weird "bug" when updating to Patch 5: when I launched the original SC2 and it started to patch, it showed me info about Patch 4 and not 5... But I guess it did update correctly anyways since in Beta Launcher it lists as "version 14356", and I can now actually see the visual effects in High-settings.

And about bugs.. I just noticed that when I deploy the protoss Warp Prism on certain type of ground, the psionic matrix doesn't show up at all (though you CAN still warp your troops to that point as usual). Just a minor gfx-glitch I think.

this latest patch cache anyone? Im not able to watch replays.

[eaon21]

hmmm..i was out of town for about 2 weeks (i missed SC2)..and i found out that the patch is already version 5, when i opened sc2, patch 5 is downloading...what about patch 4,3, and 2...should i look for them also and download it...i mean i want my sc2 to be updated with patches... will be my sc2 really updated even though i dont download patch 2 3 4... if i should download them, where can i find it..?

[kdronez]

Actualy Zerg needed that nerf.Nydus Network was to good  and with fast borrow tech,roaches and some micro you could make lots of dmg so I think its OK :>,but what about for example Immortals 50 dmg to armored target?3-4 hits dead roach,tank,stalker.I think they should nerf them as well.I know what you will say you can get them with zerglings,marines,zealots etc. ,but good luck with that when you have a bunch of zealots infront of you xD.
This is my pearsonal opinion dont hate me for it xD.

Does anyone knows what cache should I use if I wanna to play replays in that version?

They're all integrated. No need to Patch the other ones.

I had the same bug when I updated to patch five, I didn't notice a change until I looked at the patch notes on blizzard.

I thought Terrans are too strong already...hm. (I play terran but just saying)
now we don't have to worry about proxy pylon for early-mid games anymore, might as well spam more M/M.
but THANK GOD ZERG CAN'T CONTROL MOTHERSHIP ANYMORE!!
