Does everyone have to do this fix? I haven't had any problems with overheating, but should I do the fix?

Just to be on the safe side, I'd reccomend it.

As soon as I did this, my computer stopped overheating. I did this 2 days ago, there was a beta thread about this.

WHy doesnt blizzard realease a hotfix patch for this? Seems extremely irresponsible not to do, not everybody is going to even notice this before its too late...

D3dOverrider fixes it all.. forces vsync and triple buffering by intercepting and modifying d3d calls.

Also, if a video card fries when it's at full load, there's already something wrong with it.

Good thing my GPU couldn't even provide more than 60 fps haha. No wonder why people were having problems with theirs.

What do the lines mean? It might just be me, but I feel like my FPS has dropped now that I've done the "fix".

I believe they limit the fps to 60 in-game and to 30 in the menu. If you were getting >60 before your fps will have dropped. Not noticeably though.

My 2 week old xfx 5850 just died while playing SC2 and I ended up finding this thread. It was all during campaign.

All the people with 5850 or 8800 gts cards that got fried had a crap video card to begin with. They were plagued with issues in other games also. At least the frame limiter might help prevent others unfortunate enough to buy those lines of video cards from having a melt down.

I've had this since early beta, it melted the crap out of something in my comp, and now it keeps constantly crashing when I run SC2. What an oversight, how did this get past QA? They must have tested on all kinds of hardware, new and old, no?

Lol? I had 2 8800GT dual SLI but was using only one at a time. I went through both of them during sc2 beta. I had to buy a new 260 and have had no problems with it since. They should send me a check in the mail.

im quite sure that most of you with overheating problems have bad hardware/cooling/layout/drivers.

1. i have sc2 running on ultra, 1920x1080 on a 8800gtx
2. my gfx card never surpasses ~80°C not even after running the whole day/weekend on heavy load.
3. its about 2.5years old now
4. i have no fancy special cooling or stuff. just a well done layout

so how could it possibly be starcraft?
i bet 50% of the problems could be solved with diver updates (drivers in gerneral)

Anyone else having the problem that every time you close the game and re-open, these lines are removed?

So much for Blizzard games being "friendly" to a wide spectrum of PC.

How did this get through with all the insane testing they do on their game?

Didn't they fix this in the first fucking patch of the beta? I remember this exact issue -_-

Your hardware shouldn't really get broken by running at full though.

Guess what ? That's exactly what fried my old gpu. I just downloaded the latest driver until i realized 1 week later that nvidia told us on their site to change it asap. Obviously i've not checked it after the download.
Just dl the one before the latest driver if you want to be on the safe side

Btw isn't 80C a lot ? oO Maybe that's exceptionnal for your video card...
