Title: BNCS 0x66 (Unkown Packet)
Post by: UserNiXX on February 18, 2005, 01:53 AM
I've been getting a Unkown Packet recieved. I think it's a new packet added by Blizzard on Starcraft / Starcraft Broodwars. Can someone look into it?

It really wasn't *added* by the new patch, it just wasn't used pre-patch.  ;-)

This might be a bit off-topic but

On your friends list, if they are in a game with colours codes, it will show just a big black rectrangle where they should be. Im finding it annoying!

Mostly right.  My eastern logon got hit with SID_FRIENDUPDATE after the patch was released, even though I hadn't reconnected, so I was technically still a v1.11b Starcraft logon.  Yet they sent me a message that shouldn't be used with SC versions earlier than v1.12. ;)

StarCraft simply ignores packets that it doesn't support, correct?

I believe it closes the connection if it receives an unrecognized packet, or that may be Warcraft III, shrug
