10 years after the game's release, Blizzard doesn't stop making sure that the world of StarCraft knows that they can count on them to fix the bugs.
If there's a title that's close to many fans of Blizzard, it's got to be StarCraft. 10 years after the game has been released, most companies would have left fixing an almost perfect game. But Blizzard has constantly released patches that iron out the nuances it's users face.
Their previous patch (1.15.2) didn't change the game, but did give a much needed break to your over used Starcraft CD by removing the need to play with it.
In their latest patch Blizzard has released the 1.15.3 patch with these bug fixes:
- Game now works correctly on versions of Mac OS X which do not support 256-color mode.
- Fixed a communication bug affecting third party leagues.
- Alt-F6 no longer stalls the game on Windows.
The update works if you connect directly to the Blizzard FTP. Or you could alternatively visit this page of their release notes.
Keep in mind though that if you wish to continue playing on ICCUP and ChaosLauncher, then you might just have to sit out on this one for a while, as this patch removes the possibility of playing on the ICCUP ladder.

seriously look at balance in wc3...
or maybe you will see it better in WoW with the insane scale melee classes get compared to casters... and it is getting worse in wotlk beta with Death knights.
