Blizzard releases patch 1.16.0 for Starcraft

I'm writing this article not because there are many Starcraft players who care about the game. Pratically this game is already dead in Malaysia but all I want is to say is that Blizzard is a company who cares about their games, no matter how old and how sucky it is. So Blizzard recently released the new 1.16.0 patch for Starcraft. Many exploits were fixed and most of them concerns Zerg. So here is the changelog:

Feature Changes

- In-game chat is now saved in replays. Note: whispers are not saved.
- Hitting the Escape key while in the chat room will clear your typed text.
- “/reply” (or just “/r”) will send a whisper to person who most recently whispered you.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed localization issues with “from” and “to” in whispers.
- Starcraft now only uses as much CPU as it needs to run smoothly.

Exploits

- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to gain minerals through mutations.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to recycle an upgrading building.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to extend their creep with a drone.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Zerg players to move Drones over impassable terrain.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed Terran players to drop a nuke anywhere on the map.
- Fixed an exploit which allowed players to pause the game while in the pre-game lobby.
