I went to play a DOTA game today and guess what, http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=mwr0642p Blizzard never ceases to amaze me, even with the key members gone. Now all I need is a NO-CD. I refuse to play games with CD's in my drive these days. It's just such a pain in the ass. I own NHL 2006, Battlefield 2, and some other games that all require CD's. I'm not a fan of keeping all these CD's at a moment's notice, especially with how short an attention span I have.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch 1.27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific Changes & Improvements
- Throw away that old PowerPC Mac in the closet, we’ve created a new installer to support Mac 10.10 and 10.11
- Improved compatibility with Windows 7, 8.1, and 10
- Fixed a crash caused by Chain Lightning

Known Issues
- Windows 8.1 and 10 saved games are still stored in a location that requires running as system admin
- Some graphical issues with the cinematics are still occurring
- Changes to gamma settings will not take effect in windowed mode
- Cyrillic characters are still not displaying
- Disabled ambient sound while a MIDI issue is being resolved
- Mac 10.9 and earlier are not supported
- Mac build does not support the editor

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Sadly, no widescreen support. Sad

The cinematics still plays in small letterbox. Also, screen goes black and then it plays.

With the trillions of dollars these guys sits upon this is basically like throwing a bread crumb.. Why dont they have a small team doing a rather extensive patch instead, it would easily pay off in terms of PR.

Sounds like they have more plans for more patches.
