SC was created at a time when nobody thought about Windows 7 and its peculiarities. There is the palette bug, which can happen under Win 7 with the CD version, so that a lot of false colors are displayed. The palette is ruined and it helps to quit the Explorer during the game. See also [[Explorer Hack]]. It happens occasionally that SC takes a very long time to ask until it actually starts. Don't let this worry you.

- | The game is playable in the LAN. But it turned out that you can't get around the patch, as the game works very unreliably with IPX. UDP is the protocol of choice here. Therefore the patch is also necessary, as UDP is only available with patch. The other possibility is via the Blizzard servers, but you need a valid CD-Key and under Win 7 x64 it will mess up the graphics a bit, so you can hardly work with the interface anymore. These problems don't exist with the game via the Battle.net client. | + | The game is playable in the LAN.
