Is anybody having freezing when clicking through menus? I find if I am looking through say example the armory upgrades menu in the campaign my game may freeze sometimes it wont completely lockup my computer but freeze the game for a bit and then comeback. It also does it sometimes when loading a mission and there is no hard drive activity from my comps indicator led.

I by the way, am Aindraes. I've continued to knock them down and prove to them that it's not as bad as they may think, repeatably.

It's a worthy read, though it might give you a bit of a headache because they're a bit stupid and it's long.

So I finally did it.. after 20x reloading the level.. I did it. :D I even took a screen cap of how I did it.. SCVs piloting the fire turrets ftw. I did it because it was the most effective way imo, all my other units died except for some Tanks covering my rear. If I was flanked, I was done for.. but they held up pretty good.

and yes, I know about the screen res.. my bday is coming up so I'm getting a new monitor. :)

It's a shame they don't have a demo really. Thanks for the help :)

There is a demo in the form of a guest pass. There's a thread somewhere around here where you can request one. It lets you try the game for 7 hours(playtime only, not real time).

I get the same. (win2k.sys) error for me.

I found I can get into, and play the game by running it in comparability mode for Vista, and updating Direct X.

But when I exit the game, it blue-screens my pc, with the win2k.sys error again. Don't know if that will help you at all, but it seems im the only one having this error. :\

Hey man, have you tried posting the problem on the SC2 forums? or emailing Blizzard?

It seems the videocard thing was the problem that was posted on the front page. Adding the lines seemed to of fixed the problem.

Somehow SC2 feels a bit similar to

Mass Effect

storywise. Or is it just me?

I've only played a very small portion of the first 2 missions so far, and I'd have to more or less agree with that sum up. I think it's because Blizz saw how popular those games are and decided to add some "flavor" to the story telling aspect of SC.

Yeah I thought the same thing whilst playing. The only thing missing what the rep meter with your crewmates tongue.gif Still I thought it enhanced it.

Great campaign, definitely get your moneys worth imo. Epic storyline, good missions and plenty of cinematics etc. The choices, the tech choices and the RPG'y elements of it just enhanced things imo. Cant wait for Heart of the Swarm.

The game ends on a high two, in the sense that the last cpl of missions are epic of course. The 3rd Crystal mission was a bit sad though, those lil fellas are always left to make brave last stands.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
