It's been published for 4 days, haven't seen a thread about it.

Minimum and recommended system requirements were announced here: StarCraft Remastered System Requirements

For Windows


Operating System: Windows® 7 / Windows® 8 / Windows® 10
Processor: Intel® Pentium® D or AMD™ Athlon™ 64 X2
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce; 6800 (256 MB) or ATI™ Radeon™ X1600 Pro (256 MB) or better
Memory: 2GB RAM
Storage: 2.8 GB HD space
Internet: Broadband Internet connection
Input: Keyboard and mouse
Resolution: 1024 x 768 minimum display resolution

Recommended Windows 10, 4 GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4 GHz) or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (2.6 GHz) or better, and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB) or ATI Radeon HD 4850 (512 MB) or better.

For Mac


Operating System: OS X® 10.10
Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT or ATI™ Radeon™ HD 2600 Pro
Memory: 2GB RAM
Storage: 2.8 GB HD space
Internet: Broadband Internet connection
Input: Keyboard and mouse
Resolution: 1024 x 768 minimum display resolution

Recommended macOS® 10.12 (latest version), 4 GB RAM, Intel Core i3 or better, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M or ATI Radeon HD 5670 or better.




Personally I'm satisfied with these. Basically you will be able to run SC: R on any computers (that are not from the Stone Age), and any computer you can buy today in stores easily meets even the recommended requirements. Most likely you will need something stronger if you want to play in 4K, but if you have a monitor that supports that resolution, you already have a more powerful computer.

Poll: Are you satisfied with the system requirements of SC:R?

Yes, they are completely fine. (52)

I think the requirements are too high. (18)

I'm surprised Blizzard could make requirements that low. (13)

Any way to undo vote? I accidentally voted on "too high", but I wanted to click on "they are fine".

Agree... But Linux was never a supported platform for Blizzard games, don't expect them to start supporting Linux now.

On the other hand, most of Blizzard games runs fine with Wine, including SC2. So I doubt there would be any major problem with SC:R.

I'm not so happy about the fact that even 1.18 runs somewhat sluggishly on my i5-540m laptop.

I guess the new graphics engine is too demanding for the graphics chip integrated in this thing.

Still hoping they will optimize the performance in the future. I heard there is a directx renderer ready now but I don't know how to select it or if it is any faster than OpenGL.


Not sure if I will buy a new PC just for Brood War because

a) my old PC is perfect for everything else I do, and

b) I specifically bought it to play Brood War on because it has an analog video out, which my monitor requires to display 640 x 480 properly. I don't want to have 2 PCs just to be able to play both on Iccup and official servers.

I have i5-540m laptop as well and I have literally 0 problems with running the game on 1.18.

I wonder how this works with the old graphics that can be enabled with F7 key. I imagine toasters should be able to run that.

That's strange. What graphics settings are you using?

I'm running 640 x 480 and full screen - vsync, bilinear filtering and fps cap all off.

Doing some more testing, where I feel the slowness is especially the mouse cursor. It's not that bad, but when I go from 1.18 to 1.16.1 the mouse cursor feels like a formula 1 car in comparison. It's just more direct. Both 1.18 and 1.16.1 seems to refresh a bit slowly when scrolling. And yeah the mouse sensitivity setting is off in 1.18.

I tried also now to use the inn built monitor and the mouse actually feels good then. Maybe it's the VGA component in my graphics setup slowing me down, and that I should pick up a cable for use with the digital out.

Once I get back from work, I'll tell you what I'm running, since I don't really remember.

F7 enables extra graphics settings that have not been shown yet.
F5 toggles old graphics.
