Starcraft 2 Beta


Recommended Posts

Ah I remember that tune from ages ago - nice lyrics lol. Sadly it's right about a lot of things though it won't stop me enjoying the game at release.

Yea, the game itself is AMAZING. The other services aren't so good, but hopefully, Blizzard will get everything worked out before release.

Beta to restart July 1st

PC BanG leaked that the Beta of SC2 will restart the 27 of June exclusively on their Cyber caf?s while it will restart for everyone else on the 1st of July. The news comes from PC BanG employees.

My source is: http://www.team-aaa.com/news-16590-0-1-la_beta_reprend_le_premier_juillet.html

It's a French Esport website.

It doesn't seem weird since PC BanG are one of the partners Blizzard announced during their press conference of the 24th of June.

That would be awesome if the beta restarts on July 1st, though I must confess that I'm slightly suspicious of their source (a French e-sports website). I didn't get much of a chance to play during the first beta, so I would certainly like some time to get my hands dirty, especially considering that I pre-ordered the game :).

And +1 to NeptuneSak for posting that YouTube channel with all of those videos. I've never been a Zerg player, but with that much material to learn from, I may have to start.

You'll be a noob if you don't keep practicing before the release. :p

I'm already a noob. My skills have atrophied since the beta ended. :(

Lets hope that there is going to be some single player content in the rest of the beta. That would be awesome or even just an Intro video :p

I highly doubt they'd add SP content. Blizzard has never done that with their past MP betas and I'm sure they'd want to save that for the final game.

Blizzard was hoping to allow us back into the beta by now, but I guess they had more work than they expected. I'm sure we'll have access in a few days.

That's what I thought. I remember reading something about phase two only lasting two weeks so that might be it. Perhaps we'll have access by no later than Monday (the 5th).

Looks like StarCraft II will go 3D with a post-release patch: http://www.vg247.com/2010/07/03/starcraft-ii-to-support-3d-in-post-release-patch/

Still no word on phase two of the beta.

lol..Nvidia cards only.. Ati is not up with the 3D yet I guess.

phase 2 of the beta has started you can login and play again.

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
