This is a head's up for a known issue with SC2. Apparently in some of the menus there is no frame rate cap, meaning that your graphics card will attempt to render the menus the best it can... which sometimes results in a fried card. To fix this bug: QUOTE 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 frameratecapglue=30 frameratecap=60 Source Cross Reference Source Thanks scorpionman12345 for the head's up. News'd so that as many people see it as possible. |

Do it anyway. There's no reason not to and it'll reduce the strain on your GPU and make it last longer. Your comp will also run cooler and take less power meaning cheaper electricity bill. Really nice catch btw. :thumbsup: |

I guess Blizzard doesn't accept any responsibility for any of that. |
