Hey guys, I know this doesn't apply to many people, but I'm posting my findings in the hope that search engines will index this and help somebody someday. I and a couple friends play Starcraft 2 in Linux using Valve's Proton. Ever since the last balance patch, we've all been hit by this bug where double-tapping an army or building control group doesn't move the camera to view the unit(s). The only thing I've found that fixes this is to delete the user.reg file before you launch the game. This has to be done every time otherwise the bug returns. Unfortunately, deleting this file means you also have to sign into the Blizzard Launcher every time too. You can automate the deletion of the file by changing your Steam shortcut:

1. Right click on the steam shortcut
2. Click on Properties...
3. Change Launch Options to say "rm -f /path/to/user.reg ; %command%" where /path/to/user.reg is the path copied from the Target and then modified. See attached picture.

If you use Xorg, you can use my script to automate the entire sign-in and game launch process using pyautogui: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MD6e9-eDLO44wotWVuFrvpC4Q0k4id5A/view?usp=sharing Just make sure you change the 2 variables that say CHANGEME near the top.

Hello my fellow dead community subscribers! I've been very frustrated by the lack of communication by the balance team and/or whoever is pushing patches. I heard that in this last patch they fixed the biggest of the bugs, but not all of them. The bugs are detailed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IAj0CB91Pk I've gone through them to see which are fixed and which are still present:

1. Lurkers shooting units cloaked by Mothership: Fixed!
2. Oracle revelation with extra range: Still present (I think, this one is hard to reproduce from the video, I'm not sure how exactly range is calculated for revelation.)
3. Cyclones doing extra damage: Fixed! It leaves a mothership with 300 hp instead of 200 after a full lockon.
4. Amygdala reaper jump spots: Still bugged, at least partially. Testing this one is hard but I did get a reaper to bug out and spin in a circle like in the video.
5. Protoss Assimilator probe-queing: Fixed! If you tell a probe to make an assimilator and then queue a 2nd assimilator, it builds the 2nd one right after starting the first.
6. Energy recharge on warping in units: Still present. Units being warped in are untargetable by Energy Recharge until the unit is fully warped in.

New balance patch is live on the PTR.

KDE 5 had a feature in the keyboard shortcuts in settings where you could set a Window Action as a trigger instead of a keyboard shortcut (Documentation in the link). This means that KDE would do something every time a certain window appeared. This was very useful, my use case was changing the TeamViewer authorization prompt to NT logon as I don't use the normal TeamViewer password. I think there should be a workaround if it's truly gone, but for the life of me I can't remember or search for the name of this software that does something every time a certain window is created.

I was going to link to his Youtube page, but it seems these videos are unlisted! Here are the 2 I have so far:

Harstem - Reynor, Byun, Oliveira, Clem in $42000 StarCraft II Tournament

Harstem - Serral, maru, Dark, Cure and more in $42000 StarCraft II Tournament

This was a Lenovo. Now I'm wondering if Windows or Linux has a better BIOS.

I don't understand how these 2 always have such bangers of games. Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't Special a lot better than Cham? Special competes in the GSL, I hadn't even heard of Cham until this or last year.

Just a dumb meme, here is more context: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/8/23952878/microsoft-onedrive-windows-close-app-notification

And the matchup is ZvZ! Whaaaaaaaaat? We are so lucky to have this game played for us.
