Is it possible that you are actually confusing something and you are trying to play with top-notch settings on a low-medium PC?


Last I checked, an i7 running at 4.3 GHz and a Radeon 6950 were still top-notch

What kind of hard drive are you pulling off of? A SSD might fix this problem

I have Windows installed to an SSD but it's too small to store games on. SC2 is running on a WD 7200 RPM drive, which really shouldn't be causing these kinds of problems. From what I remember this only started happening after a big patch (I think 1.4 or 1.5) and it started happening to a lot of people.

FYI, since patch 2.0.4 you'll get stuck "waiting for other players" if you try to just "play".
Instead, just create game and start manually. (Not sure if there's reason to use this, but as long as it doesn't hurt..)

I didn't change anything on my end so I'm tentatively blaming this one on the patch.

Also, at the end of the map the cinematic mode currently locks the mouse cursor. To exit to the score screen, press 's' (it's the hotkey for Score Screen that appears in bold).

OK, this issue is now fixed. Just pushed the fix to NA, updates to other regions may lag behind a little.

Which server? Are you running WoL or HotS? Are you loading the WoL or HotS version of the map?

im on HotS EU, witch doesnt seem to have a HotS version of the map, so i logged onto NA to do it (yay global play!).. but i could tell it was a beta version without up to date animations. Still, running it may have helped me somehwat, its hard to be sure; i may ahve had a few freezes after too.

This thread on the support forums (by mouz mana) with many people posting saying they have similar problems, leads me to believe its a widespread issue - very similar to the old one.. i remember seing a reddit post on the rpoblem reetly also, but taht was before i had took note of similar issues on my end, and now im unable to find the thread.

Because gamers got absolutely pissed off because of having to stop and go with massive load screens (anyone remember the old Tony Hawk commercials where no load screens between areas was a big deal?). That, and the size of game resources has increased much faster than the write speeds of memory, meaning that load screens would take a lot longer than the old ones used to.

Besides, unloading everything possible into RAM and using up valuable space before it's necessary is bad programming in general.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Any plans to update the HotS version to post-beta/release?

Yes, but probably not for a couple of weeks because I unfortunately have some major commitments right now that I need to take care of first.

I never had this slight freezing problem in WoL but it is near unbearable in HotS. I am glad there is a caching map now, but it gets annoying having to run it up every start up. I really wish Bliz would fix this.

They could include an option to load everything necessary into RAM and include a warning, that this will make loading screens last longer …

I copied a replay of the latest version to my desktop. Now, instead of starting SC2 via the shortcut, I doubleclick the replay.
