I currently have Windows 7 Release Candidate 7100. Currently, Microsoft is trying to phase out these RC versions floating around by imposing an expiration date starting March 1, 2010.

As of right now, the system specs uploaded to my battle.net beta profile contain this OS version. I'm planning on upgrading to the released version, but do you guys think it would be beneficial to update quickly and then reload my new system specs? Will they skip over me entirely for Beta if they see I have a release candidate version?

how are they going to impose an expiration date? if i avoid any windows updates can I circumvent this?
Seems not

Hey folks,

I just wanted to drop in to clarify the situation a bit. As has been mentioned above, some websites have posted system requirements for the StarCraft II beta that were not accurate. The page where this information was found was a placeholder that should not have gone up. We will have more information about the system requirements once the beta starts.

Sorry about any confusion this may have caused. We did not intend to troll you. =)

I played WC3 at the min reqs and it was pretty much unplayable so keep that in mind

Weird as I had the pleasure of playing WoW at a computer that just barely went over the min reqs and with constant 20 fps I was able to enjoy the game quite a bit, although peak times at big cities was a no-no.

I guess rts games as they're that much faster will require more fps than constant 20 fps though.



That and playing 2v2+ is almost impossible due to the amount of units.

Yes, true. You should add it to the OP if you would like to.

That's an oxymoron. If they're functional, they're by definition, playable (Although it will probably suck on my MacBook). =(

I would have to imagine that these are the minimum requirements for the game to basically load, and not a decent frame rate, however if blizzard did truly get them this low, congrats to them I guess.

Being on an 8400m graphics card and 2.2ghz dual core processor, I'm lucky to have 20ish fps at 800x600 resolution with newer games, the fps tends to crash if I turn the resolution up, so I have a hard time believing sc2 will be playable at those specs at 1024x768. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Well, that settles it.

My crummy old laptop is too crummy to run SC2.

I should check and see if any of the college computers could do it... I want that chance of a beta opt-in!

one of the biggest reasons starcraft was so big in south korea was because every computer could run starcraft, and lots of people could play with LAN and one cd key

they took out LAN

the least they can do it have low requirements

koreans aren't rich white kids who have lots of time on their hands
