There is a wierd pink square at the right hand corner when you're at the login screen, and the replays can't be played anymore since this a new version of starcraft II, it can only run on the previous version. There is a message when u do click on the replay saying that you could revert to the previous version tempoarily to play the replay. On my com. it crashes after it says that...

Starcraft 2 Patch Update Behind the Scenes
Episode 1: Blizzard Balancing in a Nutshell

Testing Manager: Sir, Mr Chairman, I just got word from the Beta testers. They are saying that the Reapers are running havoc. They are climbing up and down the cliffs destroying Nexus and Hatcheries in matter of seconds, no units can catch up to them!  D-8 Charges seem to do way too much damage!

Blizzard Chairman: Well then~ let's make them even more powerful. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! And Easier to macro!

Testing Manager: But sir!!

Blizzard Chairman: Just nerf the damage and increase the attack speed. Those idiots won't be able to figure out that DPS has increased from 16 to 16.67. Not to mention if their attacks are upgraded the damage is scaled significantly (Evil grin).

Testing Manager:...

Blizzard Chairman: MUHAHAHAHA. I'll ruin Starcraft the same way I ruined WoW!

I hope you enjoyed that~
Great Update~ :S

where can u download this patch?

Actually I was having a problem when I tried to update the normal way. Got some kind of tracking error... Anyways here is a download link for anyone who can't install the update the normal way.

To install the update this way just make sure you unzip the folder called Updates to your Starcraft 2 directory. Then run SC.exe and make sure you are connected to the internet. It will then apply the patch as if you have downloaded the files through their server.
