While Blizzard has issued a number of patches for its hit RTS game StarCraft II the patches have mostly been to fix one or two issues at a time. However, the game's official web site has announced plans for a major 1.1 patch that will have a number of gameplay additions, changes and bug fixes.

The 1.1 patch, due out sometime in mid-September, will have some mod and editor additions and improvements along with improvements for custom game features. It will also added the previously announced support for Nvidia's 3D Vision glasses and technology. There are quite a few unit balance changes coming as well for all three factions and those changes are detailed on the web site. One change in the 1.1 patch that will affect everyone is that friendly units won't provide vision on the map after they are killed.
