ATIO posts

While Blizzard released a "day one" patch for StarCraft II when the game was first launched last Tuesday, today Blizzard issued its first patch for the sci-fi RTS sequel since its released. Patch 1.01, which can be downloaded via the game's auto updater, "addresses a few technical issues and makes some server-side optimizations," according to the game's official web site. In addition, "campaign saves have been optimized" for the patch and it also "fixed an issue with sound not playing on some 7.1 systems."

In related news, AMD has issued a hotfix for its ATI Catalyst drivers for the Radeon graphics cards. Among other things, the hotfix enables anti-aliasing features in StarCraft II for PCs with Radeon based graphics chips (thanks Blue's News for that link).
