Patch 1.23.1[edit]
Release: 2019-09-24[12]
Features and Improvements[edit]

- Additional voice lines for game start and game end have been added to the “Voices of Legend” announcer packs.
- Players in unranked multiplayer games must now choose a race before a game can start. This should help folks that get stuck with a race they didn’t intend to play, and hopefully result with fewer people immediately leaving games.
- Players will now re-join their previously used chat channel when logging back into Battle.net. This change was made for the folks that would prefer not to view/engage in default chat channels.
Note: Players can re-join the default chat channel via the channel list - the first entry will always be the default channel.
Other[edit]

- Arbitrary RGB color selection for map makers

Additionally, please note that we will be updating the Battle.net desktop APP to execute the 64bit version of SCR by default in the coming weeks. (32-bit will remain as an option for Windows users).

Additional notes[edit]
- SCR is now 64-bit compatible. An opt-in option is now available in the Battle.net application. We’d very much appreciate you guys giving this a go as it will become the only option available on Mac later this year.
- Input update from PTR - Keyboard commands will now work when the mouse is held down.
- Voices of Legend announcers have been updated with better stereo sound.
- StarEdit is no longer included with StarCraft: Remastered. We recommend using SCMDraft 2.
