having a graphics problem that I need some advise on. I am running the game on a Macbook Pro, with the following specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz processor
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory
Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics card under PCI, Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT under PCIe
so basically I meet all the blizzard suggested Optimal settings. So, naturally, I tried to run the game on the High graphic settings. I decided that trying to run Ultra was stupid, so I just went with High. When I started the first campaign mission however, the FPS basically died so I was watching a series of pictures. As soon as the mission actually began, the game told me to lower my graphics settings or close applications to improve performace... except I was running basically nothing in the background. I didn't expect to have this problem with a rig that seems to meet blizzards standards. Any advice here?

I have a question for you guys:
When I'm playing, my Right Ctrl key will randomly stop working in the middle of a game, so I can't select units with it. It works to do other stuff (ie. Ctrl + Alt + Delete) so it's not the hardware. It seems to just be SCII.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Has anyone heard anything of the old OLD school foreign players and their thoughts on SC2? I'm talking about the likes of Grrr and Elky - the company of Don Nazgul.

Does anyone have a free guest pass. I really wanna join the starcraft community but I want to try the game first. If you have a spare, can you please send it to my email at: cubanito_305@hotmail.com
Thanks guys.

could it be the paged pool memory problem? had the same thing, game ran smoothely for some seconds, then performanced dropped drastically; you can try setting it up manually, google for more infos

Are we really going to get weekly "maintenance" like WoW? ffs... This isn't a mmo..

Quick question,
I've been experiencing some crazy lag whenever I use a shift-queue command. (My game seems to freeze for 1 up to 3 seconds, while this is happening I sometimes hear a random beeping noise that goes on for about 10 seconds.)
For instance when I'm holding shift to spam infested terrans with an infestor, or when queueing a lot of move commands.
It also happens when I try to add more units to my selection by holding shift. The more units I add this way the more lag I seem to be getting. If i select all my units at once I don't get any lag at all.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
As far as I can remember shift-queueing worked fine for me in the beta.
By the way it has nothing to do with windows sticky-keys, I have them disabled and the beeping noise I'm hearing is nothing like it.

Don't know if this has been discussed before but
I checked the profile of people in my 2v2 Bronze division and they the number two and three are in 2v2 gold, wtf? Also, the matchmaking system always matches me against team that is favored, which probably because im in bronze, but i would like to play against other bronze players once in a while.

it's possible, and not gonna lie, the game ran A LOT better once I closed Steam and a few other applications that were technically open (meaning they had been opened, but the actual windows had been closed) but it still wasn't perfect. The only way I can really fix that problem is by just closing the apps, since the fixes seem to be for Windows rigs only...

Don't get me wrong I like it if there are no long weekly scheduled maintenances like WoW has :p but I'd expect the same thing with sc2 or is it simply due to the fact that there isn't a huge playerbase yet? Or is there a weekly schedule for maintenance's like wow on wednesday (for Europeans) and the week isn't over yet ?  Just wondering about it :D
Apples and oranges my friend.
Starcraft II is not an MMO game and it is not a database driven application. World of Warcraft has huge amounts of data stored in a database about each and every toon, guild, server, etc. Without the databases behind it, WoW could not exist. WoW will need to reindex those database tables on a regular basis. If they do not do this, then it takes the database longer to query information. This in turn introduces server-side lag to the game.
Starcraft II is not a persistent world, and it does not have to track every grey, white, blue, green and purple drop from the millions of mobs killed on 200+ servers by 11+ million players every day.
Here is a comparison that is probably pretty accurate: Both WoW and SCII are games. But that is where the similarity ends.
Think of WoW as a cruise liner. Lots of things to do, and it carries a lot of people at once. The cruise liner carries upwards of a thousadn people at a time. There are social activities and many many ways to entertain yourself. But it HAS to dock at port for fuel, food and maintenance. And every 5-10 years the entire ship needs a refit, all the anodes need replaced, barnacles scraped, etc. Refitting a cruise ship is very complex process and takes months of time, and millions of dollars.
Now think of Starcraft II as an 8 passenger minivan. It never has to dock, take on food, and it can fuel up and be ready to go in 5 minutes. An oil change takes 15 minutes. And entire engine change and overhaul will take a good mechanic 8 hours. You can only directly interact with 7 other people at once and you cant surf on the foredeck, eat a filet mingon cooked in the minivan, or play shuffleboard. There just isnt room for it.
Both cruise liner and minivan are vehicles. But both have radically different purposes and requirements.
Battlenet will have maintenance windows, but they will not be as involved or as intrusive as the WoW ones.
If you have ever owned a car, you know that the oil has to be changed to prevent damage to the vehicle. Complex computer applications are the same as any other machinery. Maintenance is required. The scope of the maintenance will always depend on the complexity of the application.

they are in 2v2 Gold with some specific partners most likely, and usually the more games you play the closer your opponents will get to your skill level. If you win alot your opponents will become harder pretty fast.
