I recieved starcraft 2 collectors edition since the beta ran pretty well on my system. When I start it up, I am greeted with a black screen with a box in the middle saying 'Input not Supported' My system specs: Windows XP SP3 1 GB RAM AMD Athlon 64 fx-53 Nvidea 6800 GT HP w19 monitor Thats all I know about my system and hope it helps.
It's your monitor, it's currently set to a higher resolution then the game will support. Lower your resolution and see if it doesn't help.
How can I change the settings out of game? I already tried doing "-width 800 height 600" or "-windowed", is there any other way?
You have the old variables.txt from beta? Could try popping that into the retail to force your old settings.
First, try installing your monitors driver. This will give Windows clear boundaries of what your monitor can and can't do. HP w19 LCD driver. Drivers are a bit old, but you can prob force install them if you have too (or check Windows Update for an optional driver for your monitor). If that fails, then try finding/adding these lines: height=768 width=1024 refreshrate=60 This will put SC2 in its lowest resolution and refresh rate. After you get into the game, you can adjust things to how you want them.
Same Problem? My error says "Input Signal out of Range" but may be a similar cause. I found another forum about this problem that suggested including Display information from the DirectX Diagnostic tool. Here's what I get from that: Name: Intel G33/G31 Express Chipsest Family Type: GMA 3100 Memory 286MB Current 1440x900 (32 bit) (60 Hz) Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor Main Driver: igdumd64.dll Version 7.14.0010.1409 Date 5/5/08 DDI 9Ex DirectDraw enabled Direct3D enabled AGP Texture enabled No problems found My monitor is an old Lenovo L192 Wide TFT, Type/Model 6920-AB1 ------- Does that information help? You may be unsurprised to find that this is the first computer game I've bought in nearly ten years, but I was an SC / WC2 addict back in the late 90s. EDIT - I guess I should add the plea: help please? I'm not sure what to 'do' with the width/height auto-set instructions above. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Click here to download drivers for your monitor. Use Internet Explorer or FireFox and navigate to the Intel Driver Update Utility page. Your video driver is outdated, and this tool can tell you what other Intel drivers on your system may be outdated. To try that line out, you need to open variables.txt which can be found in C:\Users\{YourUserName}\Documents\StarCraft II Look for the current value of height= and width=, you may have to add refreshrate=. Once you have changed that, SC2 will start in its lowest supported resolution, and you can change the video to be whatever you want.
Input Signal (Still) Out of Range I've updated the graphics driver from intel. I've downloaded the monitor driver from Lenovo, but as far as I can tell it looks like it's the same as the old monitor driver, not that I'm qualified to tell the difference. The Lenovo link you sent eventually took me to some weird device doctor website, not to a Lenovo/IBM website. The install program looked fishy, so I googled it myself and came up with this Lenovo link - looks like not updated since Jan '07. I downloaded anyway just to be sure. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-65758.html Those two things didn't help, so I tried changing h/w and added the refreshrate line. Still doesn't work, although at least now when I alt-tab out my cursor looks like a SC cursor for a moment. After opening SC2 I clicked back to check the variables file and it had reverted to its old #s and the refreshrate line was gone. I re-edited the variables folder, saved multiple times, and re-opened to make sure the changes were in there. Re-opened SC2, same problem. Re-checked variables.txt and it had again reverted to old #s. Any help please? I really appreciate your help thus far. Sorry I'm not a more advanced user on this end.
