StarCraft II Public Beta - Known Issues

This is a listing of some of the known issues that we expect some players may experience while playing in the Public Beta, please keep in mind that this list is not complete.

The latest patch notes can always be found at:
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23094049316&sid=5000

General Issues:

• The Intel Core i7 processor occasionally runs StarCraft II slower than usual.
• ATI x1800/x1900 cards display black box shadows with Medium lighting. - Try lowering your graphics settings to temporarily resolve this issue.
• Some objects are visible through the fog of war on low graphics settings.
• The mouse cursor is not always confined to the game window when running windowed fullscreen mode with dual monitors.
• StarCraft II microphone settings are overwriting Windows' microphone settings.
• Unsupported aspect ratios can become available when using a portrait style monitor.
• Some letters are being cut off in the message log at certain resolutions.
• The game can close when switching to another program shortly after starting StarCraft II. - If you experience this issue please try updating your systems drivers.
• Samsung 2253LW monitors experience an issue with the 1600x1200 resolution not stretching properly to fit the screen.
• Resolution issues can occur when rapidly changing between display modes. - Changing display modes can correct the issue.

Paged Pool Memory:

Players may experience a drop of performance or odd graphical issues after playing for long periods of time. Usually when this occurs a message will appear mentioning the players page pool memory. If you receive the overlay messages informing you of the problem you can try to lower your graphic settings and restarting your client/machine, or increasing the system’s memory. Also ensure your drivers are up to date and all OS updates have been applied.

Its pretty much 'confirmed' now, but just in case those were still thinking maybe fake, its being confirmed by much of the community in fansites etc.

Bear in mind its just the 'client' dl, but still, exciting shit.

Oh yea, for those lamenting the lack of email, a common theme seems to be said by many

"I should mention that I have recieved NO e-mail from Blizzard about the beta, I only checked my bnet account and saw that it was available for download. CHECK YOUR BNET ACCOUNTS PEOPLE."

So dont get initially discouraged.

 

[GregLombardi]

I think its about time to start a new thread....not sure if someone can do that or not.

 

[The Lamonster]

I think its about time to start a new thread....not sure if someone can do that or not.

Why do we need a new thread? This is the official beta thread...

 

[InsertCredit]

Fyi that screen is not mine. As far as I know no emails have been sent as of yet.

 

[Akia]

In a perfect world, we would have a thread for beta testers to post impressions and another thread for everyone who's waiting.

 

[Majine]

Fyi that screen is not mine. As far as I know no emails have been sent as of yet.

There is a god.

Cmon, Blizzard. I've been paying for WoW for years.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

OMFG..

I CAN DOWNLOAD THE CLIENT..

 

[momolicious]

That is probably for people who won beta keys

 

[ismaboof]

:lol

 

[RPGCrazied]

I paid 40dollars for the blizzcon 09.. gimme key!

LOL, oh well.. They did say that the streamers an ppvers would get a better shot.

 

[Akia]

If you got in then prove it with a screen cap of you downloading with this thread open.

We don't need a bunch of fake "OMG I GOT IN" posts to make people F5 their e-mails any harder.

 

[Fixed1979]

OMFG..

I CAN DOWNLOAD THE CLIENT..

Dammit, Bnet is blocked at work and I don't know if my phone can handle the login process.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Downloading Client now ..

 

[GregLombardi]

Turtle did you win a key? Or are you just a normal user?

 

[Gowans]

I feel so left out, Twitter is full of Starcraft 2 downloaders.

:'(

 

[ZZMitch]

Are the recommended specs for this game out yet?

 

[Corran Horn]

OMFG..

I CAN DOWNLOAD THE CLIENT..

DAMN YOU

 

[Pandaman]

Downloading Client now ..

where did you find the client?

is it hard to miss on the first page? [inwhich case i dont have it]

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

I haven't received a key yet which is.. odd.. But the client I can download.. haha.

 

[Wedge7]

Should look like that on your B.net

 

[jsrv]

For those of you who got the game in your account, what system specs are you running?

 

[maniac-kun]

We’re pleased to announce that we have decided to lift the confidential nature of the StarCraft: II Beta Test. This means that beta testers are free to show and discuss the game with your friends, as well as take screenshots, record gameplay videos, etc. So feel free to share that amazing game you just played. Enjoy!

[Struct09]

Not showing up in "My Games". This continues my streak of never making it into a Blizzard beta

 

[-tetsuo-]

Looks like I didn't get in. Oh well, more dakka.

 

[Lonely1]

Disappointed Perhaps, not living in the USA means I have 0 chance...

 

[ZealousD]

Fuuuuuuuck.

I didn't get in. I never get in. =(

[GregLombardi]

I bought your games since Warcraft I and chain sold them to my friends and this is how you repay me Blizzard .

I feel like a kid on Christmas, I don't want to open my battle.net account encase I get a sweater, but man will I be happy if I get in.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Noooo I didn't get in. I hope one of my friends did so I can still play it.

 

[Belfast]

Man, they need to be sending out keys already. Once again, seems like anyone who has obtained access (that was not a random opt-in) can't download it yet.

I should be getting a key, but it's making me crazy nervous!

 

[legend166]

I didn't get in ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[oompa]

Yeah I didn't get any email either but the client is available in my Bnet account so check there if you haven't.

[Lothars]

I didn't get in but I am happy to see the Beta starting which hopefully says that the game will be out this summer or so

I can't wait.
