I start in observer mode

[daevild]

Hi, since I updated to patch 5 (0.7 something i think), most of the games I start, I end up being an observer watching computer playing against each other. I have the rev 40.4 of the launcher and starcrack AI 6.1.1. Is there something wrong with my setup?
I was wondering if it was because of the maps so I redownloaded the orginal and even the other with AI, still same problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt (works 1/4 of the time). Can someone help me out with this because it is sorta annoying to relaunch a new games three times to be able to play.


Thanks!


PS: The 6.1.1 AI is way too hard, getting rushed all the times by carriers.. xD and when i decide to rush some phoenixes... they rush colossus.. wow.

Patch 5 doesn't matter if you are using Starcracks launcher, it loads Patch 4 version still.

Try setting yourself as slot 4 and see if it still happens.  If not, the map you are using has AI built into it.  Make sure you get virgin map (unedited, straight from blizzard).

B.Net Virgin Map Pack http://hotfile.com/dl/31555567/8136ba5/Maps.rar.html

Its missing blistering sands but I know the rest of the maps are virgin blizzard maps.

You can attack colossus with anti air, in your case, with phoenix.

Try to harass (Hit&Run) them all the time with T=Reapers&Banshees, Z=Mutalisks, P=Void Rays. I guess for toss, Voids are the best for early harassment especially on buildings.
