Emporio United States3069 Posts March 13 2011 04:30 GMT #22 I have a video card that is not sufficient to play SC2 (it has massive lag just from the very beginning when the workers are mining) and changing my resolution this way makes it completely playable though there is still some lag at relatively large confrontations.

stormchaser Canada1009 Posts March 13 2011 04:39 GMT #23 Many thanks to the OP for finding this, maybe I could get sc2 running on my laptop now! xD EDIT: On second thought, i tried it out, and it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe its my laptop's monitor that doesn't allow it? Or perhaps i did something wrong. 1. I went to the variables.txt file and edited the width into windowwidth and the height into windowheight. 2. I then changed the number for windowwidth to 800 and the windowheight to 600. 3.I went to the starcraft.exe file and clicked on properties. I went to the compatibility tab and selected 640x480 resolution. 4.Launched the game. I checked the options menu and under the resolutions tab, it seemed to be blank so that made me think it worked...partially? Well either way it still seems to be stubborn and not go into 640x480 res. >

Sabre United Kingdom1086 Posts September 30 2011 17:06 GMT #25 sorry for the bump but is there any update on workarounds for this? My computer really lags severely in sc2 and I do want some form of playability out of the game before i inevitably upgrade my computer ^.^
