My computer sucks. It seems fairly good, but the minute you put Starcraft 2 on, it blows hard. Every time I engage a battle it starts to lag. 3 Zealots vs 6 Zerglings? There's lag for that.

I wish that was MY computer -_-;


I know the only way to fix it is to download buy more RAM, but I'm just here venting my sorrow.

I just wanna go back to Starcraft Brood War and stay there forever and ever.

Eh, my laptop runs SC2 pretty well on the absolute lowest settings. It's also three years old and has integrated graphics.

I don't have any issues with SCII on my desktop (bought a new 9800GT EE just for SCII), but quite a few of my friends who have beta keys can't get SCII to run lag-free on their computers. It sucks :/

1. How do you know that RAM is the bottleneck and not the CPU/graphics card?
2. If it is the RAM, what's stopping you from buying a stick of ram? Would cost less than the $600 full game lol

My computer can run it fine (on lowest graphics), but my internet sucks, and my parents don't want to splurge on a better service. Half of my losses are due to disconnects
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

My God.. that poor poor fellow from the Wii video.
You shouldn't wish for such a thing mate..
Just a guy trying to enjoy living in the worst timeline and failing miserably since 1990.

I know the feeling... I put all the settings on low/off and I still get the popup saying my computer is lagging the game. I still get a craptastic response time on when I click vs. when it responds and I'm not sure if it's the computer chugging along or if it's bnet being very slow... probably a mix of both.

I blame the integrated geforce 6150 LE video card. The problem is that if I want to replace that, I most likely also have to upgrade the power supply, which snowballs into having to upgrade the mobo. Bah.

RAM is probably not your problem btw, most likely your graphics card or CPU, and it'll cost about $50 for a graphics card that can run SC at low-med settings
