Blizzard Entertainment have today continued their tradition of legendary post-launch support, having just released yet another patch for their genre-defining RTS, StarCraft. The latest update brings the game to 1.16.1, and fixes three bugs, with the addition of a new menu feature, allowing the game to use less CPU cycles.
The update is available in a number of flavours. We've got the Windows v 1.16.1 patch and Mac v1.61.1 patch for the original StarCraft install, along with the Windows Brood War v 1.16.1 and the Mac Brood War v 1.16.1 patches for those who also have the expansion installed. We've also got our hands on the complete change list, too.
