I love StarCraft, my favorite game of all time.

Yeah I hope so too. The problem started with 10.5.3, which was released in late May. Apple and NVIDIA decided to take the 256-color support out of the drivers for whatever reason. It wasn’t put back in with 10.5.4 either. Blizzard is aware of the problem and they say they’re working with Apple on a fix. Who knows how long that’ll take.

I really need to build or buy a gaming rig. Now isn’t the time though…

Yeah, I was about to go and buy the Diablo Battle Chest, but seeing as I can’t play it, there’s no point right now

Shame on them seeing as SC and Diablo are two of the hottest selling ames right now because people want ot paly the originals before the new ones come out.

The problem is that NVIDIA and Apple removed 256-color support from the drivers for the 8600 and 8800 on Mac, which is required to run both StarCraft and Diablo 2. It’s been an issue since March when Apple released 10.5.3. They just dropped 10.5.4 and it didn’t address the issue. No word if and when they will

That sux. The game is pretty old and I dont think they anticipated people playing it for so long. Curious if they have any patches for it, I remember patching SC a ton of times when I played.

Awesome for people who never really got into the game but want to know what’s going on before StarCraft II.

I never really played it and tried to start today (got a copy from my brother-in-law). Too bad there’s an issue with NVIDIA 8600 and 8800 cards on Mac, so I can’t play StarCraft or Diablo II. Boo on that shit.
