"Anyone else have StarCraft II try to melt their hardware? Blizzard admits that it's a known issue and has a fix for you.

Apparently, the game's menu screens aren't framerate-limited. This means that when there's nothing else going on, your graphics hardware renders the bejeezus out of those screens, causing nasty overheating problems. The fix is easy, requiring players to add the following lines to your "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" file:

frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

Good to know. Personally I would have appreciated a heads-up before my video card fried, but maybe this can save someone else from the hassle I've been dealing with since yesterday afternoon."

Keep Bumped.

Before reinstalling sc2, try doing repair.exe

via: C:\Program Files\StarCraft II\Support\repair.exe (depend on your installation directory/drive)

=edit=
forgot to add this: do note before doing repair.exe, please be connected to the internet, and make sure your connection is stable (and preferably port forwarded) for patch/files download

I always have problem to tab in and out, almost took me more than a minute to tab back in..

Sometimes my mouse would run out to my 2nd screen and made me tab out

win 7 ultimate, 1680x1050, ATI 4850, c2d 3ghz with 4gb ram.. I guess it's not a too bad rig to run sc2, only problem is that tab in and out taking forever. Maybe I should disable the other screen when I play sc2?

need to switch to gamer mode for my keyboard too as always accidently press start button

can we have a minimum requirements thread?? see what are user feedbacks on their current rig .. be it ram/processor/graphics/OS

hdd dun think need to specify ... as long as got space..

im running
processor: core2dua e4600 @ 2.4ghz
ram: 2 gig DDR2
graphics: nvidia geforce 9600gt 512mb
os: winxp

anyone running at this specs?? dun wanna buy it and then 'feel' i have to upgrade certain parts ...

Anyone here experienced freezing after completing a mission? It's odd really. No harm done though as the game usually saves right before the game hangs.

The screen just freeze. Usually happens while loading. (not slowdown, I tried waiting, no luck)

Alt-Tab and the game doesn't respond anymore.

Ah.. .now only I noticed this thread....

Ok for all the nVidia card user, how do u enable AA for this game, from nVidia control panel? I couldn't find any clue abt that.

@kianweic,

sorry i have no clues at all, riva tuner  is ok, but Nvidia drivers? i'm using it at the moment but where's the setting took place?

hm.... must be global setting? game program specific can?

what's wrong? it might take a little while to load all the maps.

hm... I neer exp such prob? game never crash or freeze, only thing is when open the versus AI it takes a little while to load all the maps.

@Kianweic,

I tried just now, in the game I don't spot any different...
(using 1920*1080 res)

Anyone got problem when loading the SC2?
Every time when i start up SC2 the loading page (the page showing Raynor) keep blinking until it go to the Battlenet logon page and ok already. However it do not give any big problem to me, just strange it keep blinking (when i test beta also same problem)

i usually encounter freezes n had to restart when exiting d game....

just a note...I added the two lines to my Variable.txt
frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

btw GPU still overheat although I managed to play several hours before it hang.

I really wonder if the announcement is accurate...graphics rendering too fast for our processors. Frame already capped and its still problematic.

just want to check...does the game crash on you guys during a mission or during intermission (armory/laboratory/etc)

you guys should try out TechPowerUp GPU-Z. I monitored my GPU and the temp doesn't go that high...59 degrees Celsius at most.

not sure. Coz it didn't crash yesterday. Hopefully its because of the new beta driver from ATI. But my friend's graphics card - 5850 had about 68-69 degrees Celsius heat after we played one round of multiplayer.
