Okay so Windows 7 and BW don't mix very well, I fixed the colors fine. I'm dealing with the slight input delay and don't even notice it most of the time anymore.
I -thought- I fixed the issue where BW freezes but I'm still getting random crashes when BW is open past around an hour and a half.
Before you can ask I have a .bat file running to kill the explorer process.
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
rem press Enter to continue
pause
start explorer.exe
exit
Using this I have streamed for over 3 hours while running Winamp but I still run into extremely random freezing issues where I have to power down my computer because BW is stuck on top and I can't end task it or get back to windows in any way. This is so random that it might not occur for a week then twice in a day. If you were watching it happened in the middle of game 3 of Legionnaire vs Nyoken while casting with Psyonic_Reaver today so it was rather annoying. Yet earlier in the day I did a 3 hour cast of TL Arena V with no problems. I can't figure out what else might be causing this.
PS- Let me clarify the freezing issue occurs independantly of Winamp running or really any other programs at all.

there seems to be no fix as of yet.
one workaround however is to use chaoslauncher + window mode

I can't believe nobody is giving a damn about this issue, every knowledgeable person is just telling people to fix drivers and shit when it is clearly not the issue. Fucking hate people.
|
Yeah I found that thread before and the official Microsoft answer guy keeps talking about drivers it's complete bullshit. It's obviously not a driver issue just Microsoft doesn't want to admit they made a mistake.

If you're using a multi-core CPU, have you tried making it so that the Starcraft.exe process is only running on one core? I never seem to crash when I do that.

Ever since I started playing with Winamp exited I have not experienced any crashes, even playing through prolonged periods.
|
Well I use windows 7 and I have yet to experience a freeze
I don't think it would be a stretch to call it a hardware problem, and thus a driver issue
|
I still have the exact same problem. Been running without freezes for a couple of days now, but there were days that I kicked my PC because it froze 5 times in a day.
|
Use VLC instead of Winamp for background music > no more SC crashes 
|
It's unrelated to winamp or VLC.
|
In my case, I stoppped using winamp and went foobar insted. That was well over 2 weeks ago and I havent crashed even once!
Before that I used to crash almost every game, but sometimes nothing happened for days, it truly seemed random.
|
Yea I have tried messing with drivers, winamp and such. Nothing ends up being a complete fix. Random crashes piss me off.
|
when i used win 7 i never had this problem, weird that some people does. ;o
i just had some issues with the colors, and that was easy to fix with just alt+tab.

sc lags for me as well. Every 10 seconds I get a random microsecond skip. Annoys the absolute shit out of me. I basically cant play any game without setting it to Extra High Latency which still lags as well

That may or may not (most likely) be the problem with Win 7. The problem on this thread is Win 7 + Winamp + SC = crash, no lag issues revealed. And there is no solution to this problem to this date. Your problem liosama might be with your internet connection/proxy which does not affect Win 7 crash, and therefore I suggest using search option to try and find solution to your problem.

It has nothing to do with winamp, SC crashes on both my windows 7 computers and I do not use winamp.

I haven't had any dramas. I've had replays freeze a couple of times, but never while playing.
|
cant believe that blizzard isnt even working on a patch to fix all this windows7 bullshit 
|
Well my SC goes black actually :\
I load it up and everything is black, but I can hear sounds and shit. I don't know how to fix that :|
