Chapters 6 is now available. Kerrigan journeys to Draenor. Featuring the Orcs from Warcraft 2! This update also fixes numerous issues.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed points spent on Infested Cairne's Endurance Aura being lost in subsequent chapters.
- Hopefully fixed the bug where larvae would occasionally cease responding to commands.
- Fixed some zerg eggs missing a death effect when killed.
- Fixed Queen's Snare not aggroing enemies.
- Fixed Aspect morphs using other races' 'Not Enough Gold/Lumber' error sounds.
- Fixed Lurker's Hold Fire command having the icon and basic tooltip of Infested Maiev's Summon Hunter Lurker ability.
- Fixed dummy units used by Queens, Defilers, and Devourers using food. This was only noticeable if the food they used was enough to push you to the next upkeep tier.
- Fixed Guardian Aspect tooltip mistakenly saying that it was called 'Devourer Aspect' and that it attacked trees.
- Fixed Destroyer missile effects mistakenly appearing when casting Plague.
- Fixed creep not being removed when the structure providing it dies.
- Fixed projectiles with the 'Instant' weapon type not appearing correctly on Lair, Hive, Extractor, Evolution Chamber, Greater Spire, Queen's Nest, and Ultralisk Cavern.
- Fixed Hatcheries being removed from control groups and selections when they finish upgrading to Lair/Hive.
- Fixed worker rally points sometimes not working.
- Fixed Drones not auto-harvesting if trained by an Infested Tree of Life and rallied to an Infested Gold Mine. You must still wait for the Gold Mine infestation to be complete for this to work properly.
Memory Leak Fixes
- Numerous memory leaks in the core systems were causing issues such as the game using more memory than it should. This should be fixed. The leaks in question include:
- Leaks caused by creep spreading.
- Leaks caused by larvae.
- Leaks from Hatchery rally lines.
- Leaks when zerg eggs hatch.
- Leaks When zerg structures or eggs die.
Chapter 2 Changes
- Re-worded the hint about Queen infestation to be more concise.
- Fixed Undead not attacking Arthas at the start (Although this was normally not visible anyway).
- Fixed Arthas not appearing in the scorescreen.
- Minor cutscene improvements.
Chapter 3 Changes
- Removed item drops from green creep camps.
- Removed Power-up drops from creeps at neutral shops.
- Grom will no longer revive while he has no Altar to revive at.
- If the AI re-builds an Altar while Grom is dead, he will resume reviving.
- Fixed Grom not appearing in the Scorescreen.
Chapter 5 Changes
- Fixed the music list being limited to two tracks.
- Fixed Kael's Phoenix not turning into an egg.
- Adjusted the terrain at the Human and Orc expansions so they don't get stuck in them when they attempt to rebuild their forces.
- Minor cutscene improvements.
