I'm afraid I don't quite understand still, what is Computer Throttling? And what does it do?

When a program is running it is given cpu cycles. Starcraft will use a large number of the cycles when Computer Throttling is disabled. When enabled there is code that tells Starcraft to play nice and let other programs use some cpu cycles.

Oh, godammit. Thanks to the stupid patch I can't get on sc -.-

(Grumbles)

I suppose it's time to redownload that son of a bitch...

I apologize, but I believe I have something to rant about. Something that's been pissing me off ever since an old patch of SCS. Lately, it seems they've been banning people that uses Oblivion. I can understand these reasons, a third party program fucking with there own wonderful masterpiece.

BUT here is what pisses me off. Ever since Inhale Starcraft has been ripping off the third party programs, I mean for fuck sakes I'm sure we can all agree on that any person that has to use a hack to win is despicable to a certain level, but at the same time not all people abuse the hacks. And even more so, as I stated before, Blizzard has taken some things from the hack programs.

A few examples, on Inhale you could see every players colour. After they banned that hack suddenly I came to notice that Blizzard ripped it off. Next, once again on Inhale. I came to notice that odd thing that if you visioned a player while stacking, then you would no longer be on stack.

Perhaps then it was slightly okay, I mean business is business, right? but now if we look towards Blizzards more newer patch, it's obvious ''/Reply.'' is ripped off from Oblivion. And even more so, they fucked that up. So, does anyone else find Blizzard being at least a bit hypocritical with the ban on peoples accounts that use Oblivion? I know some people that used it, and they only used it for easier stacking in roleplays. (They could see while they stacked, thus the entire process was done more faster and efficiently.)


So I guess the moral of the story is: It's not plagiarism if it's done to a third party. Does anyone agree with my point of views or am I just being a pest? o.o.

Well even if they did steal the /reply from hacking programs, that is not the reason they are banning people who use hacks. The reason is because it gives them an unfair advantage by looking at other's bases and selecting more than 12 units. There are probably more reasons, but I don't hack so I wouldn't know.

Generally I think its considered good business to provide a feature/service to your customers if its in your capability and they are currently going elsewhere for said feature/service. Its currently one of the better tactics being used to combat piracy. Also, warden is what detects the hacks. It is indifferent to what is modifying the memory, if it detects changes being made then it sends identifiable information to blizzard.



Are you lKHaoTiXl?

Thanks to the new patch I cant' get on B.net, and even more annoying I had to reinstall sc, which takes a surprising amount of time *My Sc disc sucks a lot* and then I had to get a patch, and now it's still giving me a bull shit message that says I cannot get on -.-.

Post screenshot.

Why yes, I am pissed off.

The message goes much like this, "Unable to connect to Battle.net You may be trying to connect to an invalid Battle.net server. If using a modem you may need to manually connect to the internet before connecting to Battle.net.''

And it says that everytime I try to get on Battle.net.

I get that message when my internet is down.

lSHaDoW-FoXl, turn off your hacks, and stop double/triple posting.

How rude, and what a blunt assumption. What makes you assume I use hacks? and furthermore, I was posting those messages due to problems.

If your able to post here but battle.net is giving you that message and it has lasted longer than 10 minutes then you have a temporary or permanent ban from bnet. I'm able to log on to all of the realms without problem, so none of them are down.

Uh you kinda told us in your rant.

If you hack you assume the risk of fucking up your starcraft. I don't hack, so if SC fucked me over on a patch I would have the right to complain, but blizzard doesn't fuck over non-hackers.

In Terms of court, I never actually said I did use hacks. At most I said my friends used them.

Whatever you need to tell yourself bra.

Bloody hell, I give up. I wasted 4 fucking hours of my life and I'm really pissed. I'll assume the same as Elvang (If that's your name) that it could be a ban. At the same time however, I became aware of this stupid problem when the patch came on o.o. And also in consideration, maybe someone should give a little talk to Blizzard about Plagiarism.

If taking some ideas is plagiarism, everyone must be plagiarizing when they take ideas off of maps. But on topic, I'm happy that they finally fixed the reply command.

As if the hacks weren't illegal in the first place? Rofl.

I doubt a new patch has anything to do with hack banning, you would get the Account has been closed (8) from that.

It's more likely a connection problem
