and holy jeezes they are Low Requirements indeed:
The minimum system requirements for the Starcraft II Beta are as follows:
PC Minimum Requirements:
• Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
• 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
• 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
• 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card
• 1024x768 minimum display resolution
• 4 GB free hard space (Beta)
• Broadband connection
*Note* the final requirements for Starcraft II have not yet been determined. Due to ongoing development the minimum requirements listed above are subject to change at any time. During this phase a Mac version will NOT be available, please check back.

note: a couple weeks ago, there was a similar but incorrect System Requirements page that went up seemingly for SC2 beta but it did not specify. It was a mistake as confirmed by Blizz rep. These requirements seem real, they specify SC2 beta and it's right around the corner
|
hey, my lame laptop can run it if the requirements are similar to this.
|
Yay, we are one half an inch closer to beta!
And I am assuming that this is the minimum requirements and not the recommended. Keep in mind that the minimum tends to be unplayable yet functional.

Pentium 4!! Amd athlon, who would have expected such low requirements?
those video cards are really old and low end as well, low ram.. just wow :o
|
The requirements are still impressively low in my opinion, seems like I have two computers able to run the game here. 
Does "1024x768 minimum display resolution" mean that we can't go down to 800x600 res? That was my plan as I play WC3 and many other games with that resolution so the mouse works as similar as possible.
Well I guess its time to move on.

Last time fake specs were posted, Blizzard CM said they would post specs when beta started

Those are quite low but seems in line with Blizzard's original idea to make it available to a large portion of the public. Playing it on max settings will probably require quite the boss of a computer.

yeah but last time it didnt specify SC2 beta, it was just copy pasted from WoW sys reqs page.
this leads me to believe the beta is actually, finally, just about ready to come out. they're probably finishing up everything right now as we speak
|
I'm gonna max this shit out lol

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?

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

I doubt they will go more in depth than just check if its XP, vista or 7 as its kinda pointless as you can just very easily update it at any point.

how are they going to impose an expiration date? if i avoid any windows updates can I circumvent this?

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.

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. =)

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

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.

Waaaaa! My (298e) computer can run SC2 : D
|
Im good I can run SC2 on High settings
|
I would play SC2 beta on the original cathode ray tube prototype if I got in.
|
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!

Will this be a closed or open beta?

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

holy shit those r sexy low requirements.

Keep in mind these are minimum for 1024x768
|
Well not just Korea... but to have access to more people in the global market, they have to keep these specs down as low as possible. Electronics are higher than balls on a giraffe in some countries.
|
These are the MINIMUM requirements people.

United States7166 Posts
thought the point of LAN was mostly for latency purposes
although i guess for lan parties it helps to have only lan but no internet

I still play a game with these minimum requirements
* Windows 95 or NT or superior
* Pentium processor at 90 MHz or higher
* 16 MB RAM
* 80 MB available in the hard disk
* CD-ROM, 2x or higher
* DirectX 3.0 or higher
I think I'll be OK with whatever specs blizzard decides to release. Pretty games are fun and all, but it is not the end all, be all.

haha I just realized this means my old computer can run SC2 :D
AMD Athlon 64
1 GB DDR RAM
Nvidia 7600
LOL
|
I kinda feel like a noob asking this, but how important is it to have the "recommended" operating system? It says Windows XP SP3 but I have SP2, will that be a problem?
And btw, my computer is quite far above the other requirements.

You should update it, its free.
But no it wont matter in the performance of the game, afaik SP3 is a lot about security fixes and not as much about performance.

I would just LAN for the social experience + latency, both of which will apply for SC2.

obviously you would be able to play the game, but with pretty much all the settings turned to minimum.

Hey admins, that thread about beta out now might be real.
Multiple people have posted screenshots on the Battle.net forum from different parts of the download
edit: actually on the pics it only shows up as 1.64gb .. that sounds far too little. And yup far too little people talking about it too, probably just one troll posting on multiple accounts. oh well.

Ahh... gotta love people watching a stream of a download I will admit... I tuned in.

Who cares about min reqs? No game lately has been remotely playable at minimum specs, many times required ain't enough for reasonable framerates. Fact is these reqs are nothing special at all, many good looking games running like shit has the same reqs. However blizzard is usually good at optimizing so most likely the game will run decent at these specs.
|
alright i think i am the only one on this forum using a computer that does not meet the minimum requirements. WOW.
hahah one of the reasons my favorite pc games are SC and CS1.6 is that they are literally the only good games i can play.

You have two ~1.848 cores, meaning ~3.9ghz combined. I'd be shocked if SC2 doesn't properly support multi-threading.

SC2 development started long before multiple cores became mainstream, so I doubt that two cores come close to yielding double performance.
That being said, you should still be fine, because multiplying 1.8 by only 1.3 already gives the minimum requirement. Just don't expect performance on par with a 3.9 GHz single core.
|
I think I'll just have to try it myself when it comes out. I'm a notch above every requirement except the CPU, where I have a 1.87 core 2 duo. Maybe the dual cores will make up for the missing MHz.
Edit: replies above me give me hope

i'd like to point out i have t2600 and ati x1400 and sc2 doesn't run. at all. can't even get a menu or nothing.
so yeah.. time to get a lappy with i5-540m n ati 5830 :S, that should run it fine methinks?
|
scratch that, it does run on my w7 (xp is a total no-go though), although there are hugeeeee slowdowns from time to time (from 20+fps to like <5fps), usually caused by fights but not always.
anyway not really playable, but enough to try it out. would be playable without the slowdowns for sure though.

Playing without a video card. Works great.

why the hell did my dad choose such a fucking crappy computer just because its cheap i mean... -_-
i got the client downloaded but i open the joint and it doesn't even go to any log-in screen it just goes black and exits out to a ErrorReporter saying it crashed
does this mean my comp def can't run it?
apparently some people under the req's can run it, but maybe mine sucks way too much >_<

I'm using G965 in beta and can run it somewhat smoothly on low settings. It really isn't enjoyable though, I'd upgrade (I plan to). After watching streams running the game in high settings, it looks much smoother and enjoyable than my low settings.

Anybody who has played with specs similar to mine, do you think I will be able to play @ 1920x1200 with all ultra settings? Seems from what I've heard that I'll only be able to handle high-ish if I want big battles to stay smooth

Can any1 confirme getting key and playing SC2 beta under Win XP 64 bit.

I'm pretty sure SC2 is still gonna suck on a PC like that tho
That basically defines my old PC, and SC:BW sucks on it.
Luckily my new computer parts are coming in the mail tomorrow.

I doubt you can handle ultra with that GPU

Does anyone know if a Nvidia Geforce 8500 will be able to run starcraft 2 on atleast medium settings, based on the minimum spec requirement for the game? Or should I be seeing a foreseeable upgrade in the future, maybe a 9800?

These are the requeriments for displaying one baneling into the screen.

Since I need a new computer anyways i was going to buy a desktop for starcraft 2. With the set of requirements what is a good price range i should be expecting? I'm not too computer savy so asking the people at best buy was a "whoops". I just want an example of what computer can handle it and its price range .

what else are you planning on doing with it?
