**** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

While I don't want lose, it would be a lot more useful to me. Sadly, there seems to be too many noobs out there. Not sure whether to leave the practice matches or not. May try some 2v2s first. Maybe some other races too - although I have always played Terran.
 
First PC game I've bought in years. (Well actually I'm playing it on my parents 1 billion inch imac thingy) but it's awesome. In fact it's so good I'm now genuinely contemplating building a PC and getting back into gaming.

Is it worth (as Terran) to block my base on all game or just v zerg?

Can't harm to do it for all. Protoss have the similar rush/melee units.

Edit: Glad SC2 is popular because the ATI drivers need a bog push. Can't switch AA on at all, just kills the framerate :(

Only thing is I like to go quick tech lab with my barracks but doing the block will stop be being able to do that :(

Use the techlab to block too? Just factor it into the plan. It is generally a good idea to get one quite quickly anyway (at least I do). Come to think of it, based on my previous two games the tech lab was a waste.

I'm utterly stumped - for some reason my Starcraft 2 keeps crashing my nvidia driver (the screen goes black and the input display appears... as though the monitor has turned off completely... which im guessing is just the nvidia drivers crashing). Bizarrely though this only happens in game, i.e. the cutscenes / menus are fine. Also, should add it only starts happening after a good 5/10mins ingame and then happens every 30 secs /1 minute after that.

What can I do? I've tried the previous nvidia drivers and the latest but no joy!

I dont care about AA but what is annoying (and will be for everyone i expect) is that with protoss, when making pylons and you press shift to queue 1 or 2 up, it drops frames massively. This is because all the other pylon radius' are shown at once. I generally have about quite a few and 10 odd pylons all showing the radius at once = 10fps for a few seconds.

This needs to be sorted because its becoming a lot more noticable the faster I am getting at laying pylons, upgrading, building etc. Its causing me to miss-place pylons

edit - I play on a [email protected] and 5770@ stock. High/couple of medium settings in 1680x1050

Driver cleaner, then intall your drivers. Works for a lot of people. Otherwise, no idea.
 
Any tips for the mission where you're being chased by the solar flares?

I'm not getting any time to actually pump out units so i've got nothing to take the Protoss on with, and I end up getting squashed.

It's the only mission left on my map.

Yeah same, seems like they are forcing you to work your way up to diamond this time which is a good thing imo.

i found solid banshees was the most usefull for this, at least untill you get your 2nd base up and running (after takign the protoss middle one), then you'll need 1 or 2 tanks and a few marines.. also helps if you teched to get a herc dropship in this, if you didnt, then go for a few medivacs to help transport your units over so you don't lose them...

Doesn't happen to me, strangely enough. We have pretty much identical specs too. Except I have a HD4850 (not too far off a 5770) and my Q6600 is at 3GHz. Same res and everything.

Post the replay. :)

I'll post the replays from Indie vs me getting beat if they haven't been overwritten yet. Shame blizzard only keep your last 10 replays, in the beta they kept every single one of your replays. Tis fun watching other people's replays though.
