What’s the status on the (eventual) patch?

[Revenant69]

Blizzard has released 20 patches for Warcraft III, 20 patches for christ sake!!!
And a patch for Starcraft, will we see a patch for Shogun?

Well, I figured that I must express my own opinion about Buzzard...err, I mean Blizzard. As an ex-Diablo player and a former Buzzard fan ('twas so long ago) I remember how many people online waited for the fabled 1.10 patch. It took them what a year, or probably even more to get it released, I can't quite recall. Instead of dealing with immediate issues on Bnet, Buzzard was taking it's time. I remember some messages that Buzzard doubled it's team working on 1.10 patch. Well, from being a 1-person team it became a 2-person team. So, my point is, that while Buzzard's games are selling like crack, it doesn't mean that they have the best customer support. They don't. They are not the Idol that I worship.

Anyhow, that was just my rant about Buzzard. Now back to RTW.

"Good news for those who like such things! The patch is now being tested, which means that it will be available within a reasonable amount of time. I must stress that "reasonable" in this context means when it's ready, and not within days. There will be further announcements shortly as to what has been fixed."

Hope that improves a few people's day.

Weeeee...That's good news indeed. While I haven't noticed the memory leak per se, I've noticed that it takes awhile for RTW to shut down - probably clears all that used up memory.
