The Sanatorium You might feel a slight sting

StarCraft 2 might melt your PC… but not anymore!

If your computer is still in one piece and not on fire, you are in the group with the lucky ones who didn't suffer from the Blizzard's negligence to optimize the 3D menus. Apparently, the framerates in the menu are not limited by default, and they can cause heavy load on the system, with all the 3D blitz and eye candy that the menu has.

Fear no more though, you can manually fix this issue by accessing the text file at "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" and add the following lines:

frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

In other news, the 1.0.1 patch has just been released, and it includes the following changes:

* Campaign saves have been optimized.
* Fixed an issue with sound not playing on some 7.1 systems.

Thanks ActionTrip for the tip.
