April 2019 PTR going offline

[Matt_Sherman]

Greetings,
Thanks to all of those who have helped test on the PTR!

Public Test Realm

Hi folks! Some exciting news… SCR is getting a Public Test Realm (PTR). This means we can share features/code/whatever with you earlier than ever before. It also means the things we’ll be sharing won’t be in a production ready state. PTR means slightly different things to different game teams, so I think it’s worth explaining what PTR means to our team. We have a small dev team on SCR, and in order for PTR to not detract from our efforts to keep releasing content, we won’t be rigorously testing…

As a result of this testing and the poll results, we will be moving forward with the input changes in an upcoming patch.

Additionally, as of 5/24, we’re going to be taking the PTR down until the next time we require your assistance.

GLHF
Matt

Does this mean there is no longer a “free version” of the game available. In other words if you want to play broodwar you have to get remastered?

Not complaining, just curious. HD is the only way i want to play now

You can still download the game for free without the HD graphics, but if you want the HD graphics then your going to have to buy SC:Remastered.

Is there an ETA on when the patch should come out, I figured that you guys were waiting for the KSL season to end before making the input change, with the finals over last weekend, am I correct in assuming it should be available soon?
