Your graphics card might overheat playing StarCraft 2, as the computer will try to render an infinite number of framerates.
- "Screens that are light on detail may make your system overheat if cooling is overall insufficient. This is because the game has nothing to do so it is primarily just working on drawing the screen very quickly," explains Blizzard Customer in the tech support forum.
For a temporary workaround, go to your Documents/StarCraft II/Variables.txt and set frameratecapglue to 30 and frameratecap to 60.
Add these lines to Variable.txt:
frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60
Other known issues are the unability to run StarCraft 2 in compability mode in Windows, black screen when trying to use a Quick Cam webcam.
