I opened my Starcraft 2 this morning to find that the 1.4 patch is out.
As do all Starcraft 2, the update automatically starts,
after the update, i see my starcraft 2 glitching and acting up on me
like so:

I logged out as soon as i can, and restarted my computer
to turn it on and see the same thing happening.
At first i thought my video card blew or something but i diagnosed it and it was working fine.
I uninstalled Starcrat 2 and reinstalled, an hour later, its still the same thing,
so i thought it would go away if i start playing, but it didnt, it got worse:

the ingame graphics is horrible to play with,
i contacted blizzard but no response as of yet.
anybody have this, with the new patch, and is there a way to fix it?

That's really strange. Hasn't happened to me. Good luck though!

What the.. Still waiting in EU for the 1.4 patch but I hope I don't get this.

I would normally say something to do with the GPU, but you said it was diagnosed and was fine..

There are a lot of people getting issues like those, apparently the solution is update the VGA's drivers.

Are you running in windowed or windowed fullscreen mode? Try changing to fullscreen. If it fixes itself, you can change back to windowed and it won't come back for a while. If it does, just switch again.


Something similar has happened to me in 1.3, and thats how I manage the issue.

I haven't gone ingame yet but in out-of-game screens the pictures are all really dodgy. I think it might be to do with the slightly modified layout they're using.

Could be missing/corrupt textures if its not your video card, try running the repair tool. If you installed to the default directory it should be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft II\Support
There should be something in there called Repair.exe

THIS HAPPENED TO ME and i dont know, i could play SC2 before patch so its def. not my laptop i did the repait sc2 and that didnt work either.

But good ol patches fix one thing break another.

Best bet is to try playing SC again in a week by then blizzard should have a fix ( i hope)

I saw this exact same glitch immediately after downloading the patch. However, after restarting everything runs fine and it hasn't occurred again. If it did this over and over I think I would go nuts lol.

Currently I don't seem to be affected. I can record fine as well (and i'm assuming that blip doesn't screw it up).

Have you tried to repair it? It looks like either a. the drivers are broken or b. the gamefiles are corrupted.

Edit: It looks like a combination of this patch + radeon drivers. I have an Nvidia card, which would explain that. Could you confirm that you are using a radeon card? If so, which driver are you using?
