Bad artifacting leads to BSOS or hard reset.

Quit the game first, then look under your My Documents/Starcraft II Beta folder, you should find a Variables.txt file there. You can open this file with your favorite text editor such as Notepad, and add the following line:

frameratecapglue=30 (Menu's)
frameratecap=60 (Everything else)

This will cap your framerate to 60 in the game, which should give your videocard some breathing room. You can put any number, see if a lower number like 30 helps as well, though you will lose framerate.

This is only a temporary workaround, an upcoming patch will have an automatic solution for everyone.

Hope this helps!

Nice, I'll give that a shot. Do I have to have the (Menu's) and (Everything else) texts there or just what you bolded? Does it matter where the lines are located? Thanks for your help!

It's a general problem regarding NVidia drivers. Do not instal nvidia ver 192.75 driver, some say that burned their video cards, unninstal if you have this driver and downgrade to 192.21. So staying up tp date with drivers....is not always the smartest thing to do.

Oh ok, I actually never upgraded to those drivers so they have had no effect on me.
