Fix for SC2 overheating vid cards Options

[stangmeister]

Here is the juicy part:

The issue deals with the game's interactive menu screens that pop up between missions, where Jim Raynor can explore his flagship and chat with crew. While the rest of the game has limits on what can be rendered, the menu screens have no framerate cap whatsoever, and some computers will interpret this to mean "go hog wild." Rendering framerates of over 200 frames per second for extended period of times means that computers with insufficient ventilation melt themselves into oblivion. And that means you can't play SC2, and we don't want that.

The fix:
A temporary workaround is to go to your Documents\StarCraft\variables.txt file and add these lines:

frameratecapglue=30

frameratecap=60

The screens they are talking about don't work for me - I usually see a few menu items scattered around the screen and the rest is black

Made the change - Who knows, maybe it will help my different problem!

My screens weren't being affected or anything but I did this anyway because the computer was getting kind of hot. It didn't affect my gameplay at all, so that's good.
