Blizzard have today gone ahead and released another patch for their smash-hit RTS StarCraft II. The patch, titled 1.2.1, is aimed mostly at getting rid of a few bugs, including one that disconnects players from games without any warning and a small Matchmaking update.

The full list of changes can be found below.

General

  • Matchmaking has been updated to better match players queuing with pre-made teams in 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 brackets.

Bug Fixes

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where the title of a conversation window was scaling rather than truncating.
    • Fixed an issue where the Match History score screen was displaying "Null" for the map info for all games played before Patch 1.2.
    • Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause players to be improperly disconnected from a game.
    • (Mac) Fixed an issue that would cause the Control key to become stuck when holding Control and minimizing the game window, then going back to the game window and attempting to use Control+1 to create a control group.
  • Maps
    • Fixed an issue with foliage that would die and become visible through the fog of war when a player spawned as zerg.
  • StarCraft II Editor
    • Fixed an issue where copied-and-pasted units were not set to the correct height in-game.
    • Fixed an issue where the table view scroll-bar position was reset when switching objects.
    • Fixed an issue where secondary sort priorities were not working properly. Model name is now the secondary sort so that models are listed in alphabetical order after being sorted by the mod they are contained in.

@Soleron Zerg have no siege unit, no anti-armor unit, no cloacked attacker AND too few units. If not for a Lurker, something's definitely missing. @Canyarion They're one of the same maps, anyways. Small, full of chokes and rush/cheese friendly. We need more maps like GSL's latest.

Too bad the new ladder maps aren't added in this patch. I guess they need a lot more testing. (Search for "PTR" and you'll find them on non-PTR servers.)

No balance changes = not interesting. Given how increasing roach range from 3 to 4 upended the whole game last time, Blizzard are wise to be cautious. @routsounmanman They had them in early beta and didn't think they added much to gameplay given the new unit mix.

Basically, nothing important besides the better 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 match making. Give us Lurkers back, Blizz!
