Yup. That's a good summary of how tense it can get. So many great moments like that. Stuck at work. Just want to go home and play more Starcraft.

Normal or Hard?
Normal has been too easy for me...
Although I've only done about 7 missions. Awesome game.

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT....err Blizzard.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.

Re: STARCRAFT 2 OFFICIAL OMGOMGOGM YOUTUBE LINK INSIDE
no lock ups or performance issues here on both my PCs
also..dont know why youre giving PC gaming shit..when you guys are playing on fucking laptops...
pro tip if your laptop is freezing up while playing SC2.. 90% of the time its due to insufficient cooling
even if you cap the max fps you should still address the issue or look into it by..
grabbing real temp (if you have an intel setup)...it will tell you the max temps your cpu and gpu are hitting. i bet you your GPU or even CPU is exceeding its thermal capacity...you can even go into real temp settings and have it log your temps..so if your laptop does freeze you can check the log file and temps..
honestly grab something like MSI Afterburner and setup a custom fan profile for your gpu because the way fans are setup to work in most laptops while gaming is frankly poor...if you need some help setting it up let me know..but dont just keep playing the game till it keeps locking up your whole system..you could be doing some real damage to it
http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
thats the profile i made for my overclocked GPU...while gaming it does not exceed 58°C..
you can tweak your profile so it best fits your needs..

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with the games themselves. They're superb. It's just this techo junk in between me the player and the game experience. I have a one year old laptop ffs. Fixing IT tech issues is to much like being at work (well, what it used to be like anyhow).Pariah wrote:bunch of stuff that vindicates a lazy console gamers attitude
Dragon Age Origins, I just gave up on the hassle. Starcraft 2, I'll persevere. Thanks for the tips. I'm determined to figure this out.

Re: STARCRAFT 2 OFFICIAL OMGOMGOGM YOUTUBE LINK INSIDE
I'm lazy and watching football, so someone let me google that for you for me about when the release dates are for the protoss and zerg expansions. I'm a little disappointed they're not included, but from what I've played so far this game is the shit.
Bunkers with mounted turret that can hold 6 people? Oh shit yeah!

Uh, you know SC2 is Mac compatible. Play it on a crapintosh or STFU and deal with the superior platforms issues.

Re: STARCRAFT 2 OFFICIAL OMGOMGOGM YOUTUBE LINK INSIDE
I think I've fixed my tech issues. (touch wood).
Friday night wasted? or well spent? remains to be seen.
If I get through my next SC2 session unscathed, giddy up for a *mystery* rant.

ATI just released new drivers for SC2 that allows the user to force AA like Nvidia..
worth getting if you got a high end card

screen shots i took with AA off and on to show the diff...

Re: STARCRAFT 2 OFFICIAL OMGOMGOGM YOUTUBE LINK INSIDE
Im having a few issues with my performance... it's a weird 1.
Specs:
Core2 quad q9650 @ 4ghz
8gig ram
1x 4870x2
1x 4870
Way above min requirements but i have serious stuttering issues and bad frames rates on certain maps. Weird thing is this can sometimes be fixed by changing the graphic option back down to high and backup to ultra...This only works for a little while as the chopperness returns randomly upon loading new map etc.
It can happen on an empty multiplayer map so i think cpu bottle neck is out of the question. Starting to piss me off as it ruining the experience!
Im guessing a crossfire issue and poor ati support?
Anyone else having troubles with ati?
Cheers
Sceky

Re: STARCRAFT 2 OFFICIAL OMGOMGOGM YOUTUBE LINK INSIDE
did you try the drivers i linked to?? some people are reporting that they fix the crossfire issues [ie stutter]..
try em and report back...
my 295GTX is multi-gpu too and newest Nvidia drivers are ripping it up in sc2..
im using those drivers with my 5850 and they are running sc2 ultra at high fps...so for single GPU ati setup its fine..
man i fucking LOVE this game..holy fuck..

Re: STARCRAFT 2 OFFICIAL OMGOMGOGM YOUTUBE LINK INSIDE
Seems to be working alot better now after installing the drivers you linked.
Still a few funny things going on for e.g The lvl in the single player campian (zeratul's memories) i was in a section of the map with no zerg and anything going on and it was chugging just in that little section... wierd.
Apart from the random frames drops it runs very smooth now.

Fuck this stupid shitty game and its stupid ass region locking.

Well. Not murder them. But you get the hyperbole.

Placement was dead easy. 4-1. Even the silver league is giving me a challenge though. 1-4.

Re: STARCRAFT 2 OFFICIAL OMGOMGOGM YOUTUBE LINK INSIDE
I haven't touched multi yet either. tbh I've never played multiplayer RTS before. lol.
But I've wanted to stabilize SC2 on my rig before trying multi.
I'm reasonably satisfied I have fixed my tech issues now. Two full sessions without any crashes.
It could be a result of any of these three attempts to fix it:
- Dropped all the graphics settings to the lowest. (It still looks pretty damn good though).
- Set it to Windowed-Fullscreen, which sorted out SC2 issues for a guy at work.
- After reading the below thread, a lot of people have had success with similar issues rolling back the ATI catalyst and latest drivers, so I did that.

FUCKING AMD. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PC TECH ISSUE I'VE EVER HAD HAS BEEN DUE TO AMD SHIT. NEVER, EVER AGAIN. INTEL/NVIDIA ALL THE WAY.
What an amazing game this is. Just fantastic. My number two for the year right now after Bayonetta. Only Dead Rising 2 or Vanquish could break the deadlock.
