Oct 24, 2009 For finding this thread in the future, you should be able to type 'Portable Starcraft LAN' in the search bar. I didn't want to lose the site I downloaded this from so I just reuploaded it myself. It was in 2 parts before anyway, now one. StarCraft: Brood War. Classic BW VODs 20 [ Show 41 non-featured.
#1 This is a cracked version(v1.15.2) of Starcraft used mainly for playing with at LANs where every computer does not have Starcraft installed. Great for allowing multiple people to play together at school, work, etc. There is no installation or patching or anything. Easiest if you put it in a jump drive and pass it around so people can get the file, but I've often forgotten the jump drive at home so alternatively every person can just download it from the link provided below. Now some of you may think that this shouldn't be allowed to be posted on TL(if a mod still thinks otherwise let me know of course), but I believe it is fine because you cannot play on B.net with this, due to the fact that you aren't using a valid CD-key. Just like legit Starcraft, you can put in a banned CD-key or whatever and still play, but just not go online, so in my opinion this is just an easier way that skips the installation process but still provides the same thing without installing with an actual CD.
There are definitely many other versions of cracked SC for LANs, but this is by far the best one I found(after 2 hours of searching in class yesterday!
In 2016, a StarCraft patch surfaced on Blizzard's FTP site with the version number 1.17. It would've been the first patch for StarCraft since 2009, but it mysteriously never went live. We've had to wait a bit since then, but today's the big day: patch 1.18 has arrived, the first update in eight years, and a whole.01 better than what we thought we were getting.
Oh, and at the same time Blizzard also just made StarCraft free to download, which is pretty cool. Blizzard promised StarCraft would go free when it announced, an upcoming 4K-enhanced edition, last month. Even without the fancy new graphics, the original game will also be getting some pretty nice enhancements in patch 1.18 that should mean good news for its still-healthy online scene. The high points include windowed fullscreen mode, UPnP support, better compatibility with Windows 7, 8.1, and 10, plus improved anticheat. Blizzard notes that there is one known issue at the moment: 'the profile section is currently unavailable'. Perhaps patch 1.19 is in our near future.
