Last resort can be a total system reformat. If you decide to go this route make sure you backup anything you want via disks or external HD.
Professional Cunt.

I am too, but I'm not even getting to the loading screen w/ raynor. Just straight up crashing on the black screen between pressing play and the change to fullscreen for the splash screens/login screens.

I keep getting this as well. Tried reinstalling and was able to play but after closing the game and then trying to play again later I'm getting this same crashing again. Have tried deleting battle.net folder and running as admin but this hasn't helped at all.

i've been searching for the past day with no luck on this issue, so far it seems to be a NVIDIA issue, as i saw this thread: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/534644/geforce-drivers/crashing-in-starcraft-2-hots/2/ on the geforce fourms...

it seems that its an issue with the nvidia drivers, and its just on the single player mission that this is occouring. mutiplayer so far has been error free. NVIDIA is aware of this issue, and so is blizzard, but i dont know which one is going to be releasing a fix first.

If the fix is released and i dont see it posted here within a day or two, i'll put it up.


EDIT:: Also, apperently there was the same issue in WOL when it was first released, and there was a fix there requiring them to turn the graphics resolution down, but as my computer is running crysis 3 at 1280x1024 with high resolution, and getting ~40 FPS i'm pretty sure its a glitch that they will release a fix for soon.


EDIT 2:: FIX FOUND! Well for me anyway. http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-296.10-whql-driver.html
Instead of the current 314.97 drivers, roll back to the 296.10 drivers. So far i've played thru 3 missions of the campaign with no crash, when before hand i could not complete the 2nd mission due to consistant game crashes.

I must say, this isn't a complete fix, or does it work for everyone. I saw posts from people who had the 500 series of nvidias, that rolled back and had the same issues still, but it seems to have worked for me, and the majority of nvidia 500 series users. Once again, some people are still having issues, even after rolling back thier drivers. Will update when an actual fix is found.

Since I can't make a new thread, I'll just reply here.

I installed SC2 WoL and when I press the play button, I can see the loading screen, but after ~5s, it crashes, giving me no more hints than just an "unexpected fatal error".

I tried every possible solution, tried 319 and 331 drivers (for my GTX650), but nothing worked.

It would be awesome if someone could help me.

For some reason when I try to play Sc2, I get onto NA server just fine, but if I try to get onto the KR server for harder opponents and better practice, I am not able to log on. It just shows that my internet is not working but it is working just fine because I can go on NA and browse the internet. Any suggestions?
