StarCraft: Remastered is a masterclass in how not to remaster a classic. For God’s sake, how is it possible that a game from 1998 feels faster than this version? The menus navigate like they’re running on a 56k modem, and the online connection is as stable as a house of cards. It’s frustrating to think we paid for something that performs worse than the original on machines with a thousand times more power.
I wonder if the developers of StarCraft: Remastered ever actually played the original game. This version feels like a parody: slower, less responsive, and with menus that seem programmed to induce frustration. It’s like they took everything that made the original StarCraft great and deliberately made it worse. A true waste of a classic.
StarCraft: Remastered is living proof that ‘remastered’ doesn’t always mean ‘improved.’ The menus are so slow you could brew a pot of coffee while waiting for them to load. The online connection is so inconsistent it seems programmed by an intern. It’s amazing how they managed to make a game from decades ago run worse on modern hardware. Quite an achievement… in the wrong direction

Is this a discussion or just a vent post?
Hey! At least we have custom hotkeys in Remastered.
The devs were not allowed to complete their plans for Remastered. The project was cancelled by the administration in the middle of development. This left behind a long list of planned items that never made it to live.
So this had little, if anything, to do with the devs. Not to mention ruining anything “deliberately”.

When will the administration run out of funds because I’d love to see anyone else take the IP and make those devs and OP proud. Good golly, can the company not get out of its own way? All we do in these parts now is laugh (while spending on competitors) and wait for the end.
I haven’t experienced or heard anything about Remastered performing worse than the original game.
Have you tried any troubleshooting?
The current matchmaking system seems to give an error to ranked players…
That’s seems to be preforming worse then the orginal…

the whole world cant start a ranked game 2nd day in a row, how about that? the in-game ladder tab is the slowest in history of gaming. errors here and there and my bnet launcher must be set on americas so i have less errors when i play on europe gateway. many unit portraits are ugly, too simple or too cartoony combared to original portraits, if they just upscaled the old ones could be million times better. and not only the portraits but also some units, did anyone noticed the head of the defiler after zooming?
The original game didn’t have automated matchmaking.
its the dynamic turn rate setting incorrectly and turn rate in remastered can go up to 24 which is a good thing and faster if you are able to play vs local oppnents. slow lag is from the distance as the old version and this version both is still p2p which high ping = long physical distance = lag or turn rate needs to be lowered in game.
Can you all just fix the damn servers, they’re running like absolute trash. The game used to run better in 1998 than it does now, stop updating the game if you don’t plan to release a working efficient patch.
