Fixed stall on main menu that some players were experiencing.
Fix for Japanese local tool tips.

When a new message is received, the chat log popup will only auto scroll if it is already scrolled to the bottom.
Updated Season 7 local maps folder with newer versions of Eclipse and Reap the Storm.
I had some multiplayer replays that I played on my LAN that I won against the AI. Now the replays shows the AI winning. Yes I did a lot of nuking in the replays, if that has anything to do with it.
Starcraft doesn’t start (freezes computer as soon as it starts) with new patch on Mac.
Mac is running Sierra 10.12.6… didn’t upgrade as I read newer Mac OS also has issue? but it used to work before this patch…
NO PUEDO ENTRAR A BATTLENET NI OPCIONES DEL JUEGO, uso el juego en una mac, he desisntalado todo y vuelto a instalar y el problema persiste en la MAC, lo probe en un windows y si funciona el problema es en la mac
The first game i have played since the update was just now, single player vs the computer, everything was working fine, but i had to go, so i paused it and when i returned the game was closed, so i suppose it crashed?
This patch is broken, before the patch you could start playing now as soon as the game options appear, it closes on its own, go back to the previous patch or fix this.
It’s interesting that you mention this, the graphics are pixelated when zoomed in on my Intel UHD 620. There were a few graphic glitches which this patch took care of, but the pixelation is still there. I don’t know why i’m having this problem. My previous Intel HD 4000 laptop didn’t have it.
I believe Yosemite is EOL by Blizzard. Move up to AT LEAST High Sierra IF possible.
The three current MacOS X Systems CURRENTLY Supported by Blizzard are High Sierra, Mojave, and Catalina.
Sierra either HAS or SOON WILL BE EOL by Blizzard, too.
Big Sur is in EARLY Development Platform Beta right now, with hopes of being Fully Released some time in September. This for sure WILL EOL Sierra IF NOT already done.
This update has screwed many people, I can not play it anymore and there is not solutions about when I press bottom repair, it seems to be everything ok, but the only way to control the computer is resetting it, so bad service
