[H]Blank Screen When I Launch Sc2!

So I haven't been home for a few days, and I heard there is going to be a reset soon (maybe already happened?) And now when I launch sc2 it goes blank screen on me (flickers, monitor light goes from green to orange and says no signal). Sound still plays etc.
Game was working fine on the settings I had (but would do this if I made the resolution higher than 1024 or something, which the recommended was set to 1200). So I was thinking that the reset changed my settings somehow?

Btw, this happened with HoN after I changed video cards (the one I have now) but sc2 was working great on ultra settings at the same time.

Anyways, I saw a blue post in another similar thread so here:



If you are still experiencing this issue, please post the following information from your DxDiag:

Operating System: Win XP Pro
Processor Info: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs)
Ram Info: 2046MB RAM
Direct X Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Card Name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip Type: GeForce GTX 260
Display Memory: 896.0 MB
Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (75Hz)
Native Mode: (don't see this listed)
Driver Version: 6.14.0011.9621 (English)
Driver Date/Size: 1/11/2010 20:03:33, 6359168 bytes

Gonna try and reinstall and see if that works.

(is there a text file somewhere that I can edit to change resolution and settings and things without the game being open?)

damn when you reinstall it deletes all your replays/screenshots etc.

Good thing I backed them up beforehand just in case it would.

Also, I have to DL every patch now too >.<

I think you can edit all the graphic setting from the file
My Documents\StarCraft II Beta\variables.txt

Most of the values are the position in the selection and not the actual value.
For example the displayMode variable has the values
0 = windowed
1 = Windowed (Fullscreen)
2 = Fullscreen

To set the resolution there are the width, height, and bitdepth variables.

can you give me one of them that was like 1024/768 So I can rewrite it properly?

PS- Right now they are on width=1280 height=1024 and I don't see bitdepth

Ah FUCK YEA, THANKS ALOT MAN I FIGURED IT OUT, I made width 1024 and height 768 ! YEAAAAAAAAAA why do games tend to change shit like this?
