    Starcraft 2 scvs shoots lazers....?
    « on: July 22, 2011, 04:41:58 AM »
    Hi guys i have a lil, well when i mean a lil i mean a massive bloody problem. For some reason or another starcraft 2 has started playing up, it has never done this before but just started recently for some odd reason..

    i have a hp pavilion dv6-3206AX
    AMD phenom II quad core mobile processor N970
    500 GB hard drive
    8 GB ram
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6550 switchable graphics with 1024MB DDR3 dedicated graphics memory

    i am running windows 7 64 bit and play starcraft 2 on the ultra setting.

    This only seems to happen with starcraft and no other games.

    Thanks for any help,
    Tanza

    Any chance you could actually tell us the problem? There are some very good people here, but not that good.

    I'm still fairly sure that 95% of people would not get anything from the title unless they Googled it. I haven't and still no idea of the problem. But at least you know.

        See here for a fix, specifically post #5. It seems to be a not so uncommon problem and is related to graphics card drivers.
