Versions and Patches
Brood War Expansion
Brood War adds an additional story line, new missions, and new units to the game. Although it improves on the game, the core of StarCraft is left intact, making for easier patching and bug fixing. In most cases, a fix for StarCraft will also fix Brood War.
Patches
The latest patches can be downloaded at Blizzard's Battle.net website. Brood War users only need to install the Brood War patch (it will update StarCraft as well). Current version is 1.161.
Issues and Fixes
Color Artifacts on Windows 7
Playing StarCraft or its expansion Brood War using Windows 7 causes the colors in the game to become glitched, this is due to the way the coloring works in Windows 7. To solve this, you must stop explorer.exe
, however explorer.exe
is a very important file that Windows uses. Using a batch file with the script of starting StarCraft and closing explorer.exe
, and upon exiting the game, restoring explorer.exe
.
You can find a more detailed explanation in PCGamingWiki's Color Fixes For Older Games article.
