QUOTE(SpikeTwo @ Jul 29 2010, 11:29 PM) why this game is so expensive? Blame this guy, Robert Kotick.  Just installed the game (damn you TMNET for making me waiting 2 hours just to download a 50~MB file). Play through mission 03 - Zero Hour, brings back the first 'sit-and-defemse' Terran mission in SC1, which is set in the same f***ing planet.  Talk about Deja Vu.This post has been edited by zioburosky13: Jul 30 2010, 12:05 AM |

QUOTE(kianweic @ Jul 30 2010, 12:02 AM) You managed to get your CE? Nah. There are some people selling it in Garage Sales here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&hl=starcraft+2 I decided to get the vanilla version and I am sure Activision Blizzard will release another collector edition some where in the future  .(Plus, since the starting bid of CE is RM800, I could use the extra money to get other stuff like Tyranids model , or do some small business, or attend some courses etc ). Anyway I would wait for the cool down period of this game (3 weeks I think) before login into multiplayer mode. |

For those who had experienced more than 30 minutes install, be sure to defrag your HD first, clean all those junk porn eh files.
Other than the BattleNet update, it only took me 20 minutes to finish the installation (without the update). I can see the need to login everytime you want to play the game can be quite annoying, but at least it's still BETTER than Games for Windows login (I am looking at you Relic with your stupid support of GFWL) |

QUOTE(SpikeTwo @ Jul 31 2010, 09:32 AM) i know it is always qulity games from blizzard. but with the kotick stuff, i am reluctant to buy it. I missed out to purchase WC3 during my studying days, would love to pay my tribute to blizzard for a job well done for SC2. but kotick appeared. We know Kotick is an *******, but the single player gameplay is worth the cash you spent on other recent crap game, at least that sucker doesn't charge buyer for the map editor. it just suprises me when there are really lots of ppl buying it no matter the costs. lol...i just feel a bit sad when the publisher decided to milk the fans. because i think D3 will be as expensive too...which is also one of the most anticipated games in my list.  QUOTE(kianweic @ Jul 31 2010, 09:46 AM) How big is the patch? Around 12-20MB, I think.One thing I care less is the achievement. Unless they all add something to the gameplay, I see nothing but as a measurement of your e-penis so I don't bother it. Yes I cheat, some of the map though. Heh try to blitz through 10 game in one night without cheating and you will feel the pain. This post has been edited by zioburosky13: Jul 31 2010, 10:03 AM |

Just had a mp game with someone, the performance is surprisingly smooth. Now I am digging into the custom map and playing the world editor (p/s: anyone knows which site host the largest collection of SC2 custom map?)

Folks, Starcraft 2 could kill your GPU -> Link here
QUOTE Starcraft II fans beware, your graphics card may get Zerg rushed StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, the first game in Blizzard's highly anticipated real-time strategy sequel trilogy launched on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the blockbuster PC title -- which is expected to sell 10 million copies or more -- had some bumps during its launch. There were a number of minor bugs, but nothing show stopping at first. Then the reports of melting GPUs hit. Among those affected was Adam Biessener of Game Informer whose card melted while he was live blogging about his game experience. He bemoaned, "Three hours of cursing later, I'm posting this from my wife's laptop because both my graphics card and my work laptop appear to be fried." The problem appears to be located in the main menu, where an uncapped frame rate maxes out the GPU, in some cases pushing it to overheating and potentially permanent failure. Blizzard has issued a response on its support site, acknowledging that it was aware of the issue, and offering a quick fix. The company writes: (Certain screens make your hardware work pretty hard Screens that are light on detail may make your system overheat if cooling is overall insufficient. This is because the game has nothing to do so it is primarily just working on drawing the screen very quickly. A temporary workaround is to go to your Documents\StarCraft II Beta\variables.txt file and add these lines: frameratecapglue=30 frameratecap=60 You may replace these numbers if you want to.) For eager customers who already lost a graphics card, though, that fix may prove too late. Blizzard has not announced any plans to replace the lost hardware of victims who experienced the bug. Many customers are outraged at this. Writes one victim Lorsaire: Why was this not addressed already before release, and why were there no breaking news warnings or updates to fix this before people started having damage done to their hardware? My Nvidia GeForce cost me more than $300 to get a good card that was great for gaming... Blizzard are you doing anything or have plans to compensate people for the damage you've created? Of course some of the cards may be covered by manufacturer warranties. And while it does appear a bug (uncapped framerates) is partially to blame for killing off the cards, a card pushed to the max would generally not die instantly were it not for poorly engineered and/or defective cooling. It appears that the cards ultimately were done in by the double blow of both a software bug (in SC II) and hardware issues. The game features intensely addictive multiplayer gaming between three diverse races -- the Zerg, the Protoss, and the Terrans. It also features a single player campaign in which you play a Terran rebel. Future titles -- Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void will included Protoss and Zerg campaigns, and possibly deliver new multiplayer features as well. Just beware the uncapped framerates. It seems to me they forgot to fix the same bug which also has plagued the beta version. This post has been edited by zioburosky13: Aug 2 2010, 06:23 PM |

Don't forget the Galaxy Editor (which is basically the map editor) of Starcraft 2 is fill with potential, more and more interesting maps are coming out (I do hope there are more than DOTA-type map, though)plus you can make real money by crafting some map (if you have the talent),
which I am currently digging in now (if only I know how to put the start player location 00x first).  |

QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Aug 5 2010, 06:48 PM) Seen this problem like miles away. I am with yer. Even though I like how Bnet functions like an online dating site, I still want to able to look at the status of my hosting (network ping, map, list of players..). Come to think of it, it's like blind-dating, you never know who you are dating until that moment.The custom game menu is always a pain to use. Fix that popularity crap, and give me a chat room, cross region. Thats good enough. This post has been edited by zioburosky13: Aug 6 2010, 07:26 PM |

Patch 1.1 has some serious bug, especially in low fps.
http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/166496813?page=23 Here's a list of the bug QUOTE 3D Vision http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/628240618• Lighting will occasionally flicker when playing maps. • Disabling and re-enabling 3D Vision while in some missions is causing lighting issues on High and Ultra settings. • Graphical corruption can be seen when using the 9800 GX2 in Campaign and Multiplayer maps on High or Ultra settings. Battle.net • Meta achievements can sometimes fail to be awarded properly. • Relogging when maps are being downloaded can cause a crash. • Players can be unable to navigate to the Singleplayer page or watch Replays after cancelling map downloads from the queue. This one happens to a lot of people. Including me. • Some players are displaying an incorrect name on their leagues and ladders page. Gameplay • Graviton Beam will not channel properly if it's cast when a Phoenix has exactly 50 energy. • Ultralisk AoE cleave is inappropriately affecting structures. • Larvae no longer wander like they used to. Graphics • The Hyperion Cantina will not load properly on the ATI Radeon 4350 and 5700 cards using the 10.7 Catalyst drivers. • Medium lighting is causing abnormal black shadows on the terrain when using ATI x1800 and x1900 cards. • Several graphical anomalies occur on Radeon HD 4600 and HD 4800 series cards using the 10.6 Catalyst drivers. • Some users on ATI cards may experience temporary game lock-ups when loading multiple missions and then resizing the window or locking the computer. • Some users on NVidia cards may experience a temporary yellow screen when loading multiple missions and then resizing the window or locking the computer. • Players can experience game stuttering when watching older replays or saved games. • Players can experience corrupt cursor issues when using an ATI video card. Mac • Some Mac users are unable to join games properly. |
