So I've recently decided to give it a go, I've patched it and installed it from old CDs because I didn't want the new Blizzard version for it.
I fixed the color issue, but the problem is still happening ONLY if I tab out of the game and back in. How do the Korean streamers on Afreeca tab in and out of game with no problems? Their tabbing in and out is also way more smooth, do they use a custom resolution that isn't full screen? Source: Snipealot2's stream
Is this "fish server" on ICCUP or do they play on Asia server?
And what anti-hack do they use with the timer at the top middle and the APM on the top right?

There's probably a registry for adding it to you server list somewhere on TL though
I used that and this is what happens. When I start up BW, Kerrigan's face is washed out and badly colored. But once I'm past that and in the menus, the colors are perfect. Log in, still perfect. Tab out to do something, tab back in, colors are washed out again..
Do you suggest I do a fresh install from the battle.net website with the 26 key installation rather than 10 year old discs?
I could probably do a google search for Fish and find out how to do that myself. First, I want the game to run properly. ;;

Hm not sure then as I use my old CDs as well, i have nothing changed in my properties either. When i alt tab and back in the bad colors flicker but it fixes itself right away. Running 64-bit windows 7...
Maybe someone else knows
Edit: Not sure if it has anything to do with it but I also did this: http://www.wikihow.com/Play-StarCraft-Without-a-CD
which is an official no-cd but i can't find the original blizzard webpage

The afreeca streamers use window mode not full screen thus they do not need to automatically change the resolution everytime they alt+tab to a new window.
|
Getting the same issue after tabbing in and out. I'm thinking the only solution is to get it into windowed mode? Is the most optimal program for that still W-Mode?
Also, you have to be able to read korean to navigate through Fish, right? I'm having a bit of trouble even joining a channel, lol.
Weird thing is that the guy above me mentioned that it flickers bad color and then goes back to normal, mine flickers normal and then goes to the bad color. Opposite reaction.

Fish is way more active for both ums and melee play however it'll be difficult to play on some of the korean maps because you can't understand anything. For melee, go on iCCup and for ums, go on USEast. W-Mode is like....the only windowed mode program for starcraft 1.16.1 as far as I know but it does the job If disable desktop composition doesn't work, then you'll have to deal with it unless you're on windowed mode of course.

Be prepared to lose a lot. I mean a lot. Because you will lose a lot when you first start playing. And I mean a lot.
It takes quite a lot of mechanical skill to be able to effectively play BW. And, once you finally have decent mechanics, the game just gets more difficult, because there is so much information to process. You have to play a lot of games until even the basics become instinctive. Once that happens, the game truly opens up to you, and you realize how fucking terrible you really are, but at least you know that now, and know what you need to work on to improve.
Did I mention that you will lose a lot? Because I feel like I need to mention that you will lose a lot. So be prepared to lose a lot.

However, don't get me wrong. BW is an insanely fun game to play, and gets more fun the better you get (at least, that's what I found).

Download this utility. It has windowed mode, antihack, APM display, APM alert, auto replay, etc...
Also, if you want private servers like ICCUP, Fish, Brainclan, etc. I will copy paste this post I made in the other thread:

You now have tons of SC servers. This should give you access to the Korean servers Fish, brain, mapzine, etc as well. Logging onto one of the default gateways may clear your server list, if this happens, you can just double click on your "registry.reg" file and it will fix it every time.
I hope this helps.

Good luck my friend, you're going to need it.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

Well seems like you got the help you needed for the colour issue.
However... Good luck... Try not to get too discouraged when you get owned like I have.

Brainclan and Mapzine don't exist anymore.
At least if they do, my IP's are outdated, because I can't connect to them.

Yeah seems you're right. That's a shame... I usually only use Fish because it's the most popular ladder.
|
I won a few games on ICCUp, (rank D ofc) and damn, is it satisfying! So hard, so fun.
|
For the colour fix what I do is open task manager and kill explorer.exe game has no color problems after. (ofc your desktop is gone but you can still alt-tab between things you have open) to restore just use task manager to run explorer.exe.

maybe the reason it is so hard to win is because half the player base map hacks

I usually get on ICCUP, win one game, and then quit online play for a month. That one win keeps me happy enough.
