StarCraft II's Overheating Bug Gets Fixed

--------------------------

--------------------------

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 Beta\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.

:lol: Explosive games, do that. Seems like now-a-days they make the games way too hardcore for the consoles they come out with, so no one can run them except the develepors with their bad ass multi-core awesome computers.
