#Starcraft cd key change 1.16 Patch#

So, if you want to get it working now, before the downgrader is updated, just make a copy of your battle.snp when you have it at the current version, then overwrite battle.snp with that copy after you downgrade. I've confirmed that I can get on my server with 1.15.1 if I use battle.snp from 1.15.2 or 1.16.1. I've been doing some testing with it just now, and I've found that for some reason it doesn't want to accept the battle.snp from anything older than 1.15.2 when using the download version. I have the download version installed on another computer, btw.

iso whatever, but at least we will know if there's something wrong with the downgrader/files. You will need your CD of course, or a mounted. Download an official patcher from Blizzard for the intended version you wish to play here.ģ. Downgrade using this program to a version below your intended test version. There are ways to use an older Blizzard patcher, but the easiest method would be to just downgrade below the Blizzard patcher. If you'd like to help isolate the problem with the downgrader, you could use an official Blizzard patcher to test your connection. bin file that came with 1.16.1 and so its possible that I missed another file, but I don't think so. Before, the downgrader would use each patch_rt.mpq in its full form and was considerably larger in size. Basically, I am using 1.10 patch_rt.mpq for everything and just adding the few updated files as the patches progress. This latest downgrader has been reduced in size dramatically for several reasons. My question was an attempt to isolate the variables. Post has been edited 2 time(s), last time on Feb 10 2009, 4:55 am by ShadowFlare.

My patch may not do it exactly like the official patch did, but I'm probably never going to fix that I figure that most people will never actually be downgrading to play something on the regular SC campaign (on 1.04+), and if they did want to, there are multiple workarounds that can be used for that - the easiest is to rename or move BroodWar.mpq. I don't know if I considered it or knew about it when I made my no-cd patch, but it is definitely useful for those who want to downgrade SC and only have the official download version.

I didn't know an update had been available since July that fixed that. I suppose it may still be useful for certain mods, though, if any mods were dependent on having that disabled or for connecting to servers that haven't been updated yet (I updated mine just today to 1.8.4. For PvPGN servers using the release versions, as of 1.8.3 disabling data execution prevention is no longer necessary to connect since the bug causing the crash has been fixed.
