Hello, I have currently acquired an FPS issue.. I have been playing SC2 since beta and haven't had much issue. I play on lowest settings (even tho my computer should be capable of high, if not ultra) I typically play 3v3 with itunes or Youtube in the background at about 30-50 FPS constant. Now I play with about 30-50 FPS until mid game, then it drops to about 10 and when any type of battle happens I drop to less than 3 FPS, often times I just sit at ONE fps until units are dead. I have defragged, scan disked, virus scanned (Mcafee), downloaded "gamebooster", updated graphics drivers, downloaded directx 11.. I'm not much of a computer person so I am out of ideas.. Computer specs; ASUS G1SN Laptop Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS 512 MB (260.99 Driver) 4 GB DDR2 Ram 140 GB Harddrive Windows 7 64bit Chipset Intel PM965 Southbridge Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) Constant cable internet connection ** Bought computer as Windows Vista, upgraded to Windows 7 ** Anyone having same issue, or solution? Need help
this is a cpu bottleneck issue, it lags hardcore during big battles and mid to late game bc ur cpu cant handle so many units, u generally need min 2.6 dual core, but something like a 2.8-3.0 ghz is more acceptable. for large sc2 battles or many playersgames
Make sure only sc2 is running, turn down or turn off AA/AF. Disable all startup items in msconfig. This should make it lagh less.
