What are the limits in a live match?
A chat line or player that cannot be identified reliably is left unmarked. Live-match departure detection rates and delivery of notices to other players have yet to be verified for this build.
Where do player records appear?
With Screen Recording permission, M Launcher uses optical character recognition (OCR) to find player names and place records beside them. A separate list covers players whose on-screen positions are unclear.
Who sees an early departure notice?
A new entry triggers one notice in match-wide chat. If that player returns within 72 hours, your own lobby removes them and alerts you privately. In someone else’s lobby, the warning goes to everyone in lobby chat. The record does not identify why a player left.
What does the blocklist switch control?
When enabled, it removes players you added manually from your lobby and confirms the removal privately. In another host’s lobby, only you get a warning. The switch also enables new match records. Turning it off stops new records while preserving saved matches, manual entries and note editing.
How does M Launcher connect to the game?
M Launcher opens your local records first. Once the local store and settings are ready, it attempts a game connection once. If the game is closed, it waits. Launch your own copy of StarCraft: Remastered through Battle.net. An existing helper session blocks a simultaneous connection.
What should I check on first launch?
The checklist shows your macOS version, chip, game and Apple developer tool files found in their usual locations, and Screen Recording permission. Allow Screen Recording in macOS to place stats beside player names. You can reopen the checklist in Settings.
Which languages does the app support?
In Settings, choose the system language, Korean, English or Simplified Chinese. This website also has a Traditional Chinese guide to the same app.
Where are match records and notes stored?
Match records and personal notes stay on your Mac. You can delete your blocklist entries and notes. Early departure records expire after three days.
Is this an official Blizzard app?
M Launcher is an independent developer’s project. StarCraft and Battle.net are trademarks of Blizzard Entertainment.
Does donating unlock features?
The app is free. Donations are optional and everyone gets the same features.
How do app updates work?
The app checks for new versions at launch and about once an hour while running. When an update is available, choose Install Update inside the app. Quit the game first; after the connection is safely closed, the app downloads and installs the signed update. Updates are not installed automatically. Settings and local records are preserved.
Update checks and downloads may send ordinary connection information, such as your IP address, to Cloudflare. Match records, blacklists and notes are not sent to the update server.
