Whenever I alt+tab or windows out of starcraft and get back on it, it becomes weird colors and it is really hard for me to play. I have to exit starcraft and run it again to fix it. Is there a way to fix this problem without exit?



None.

I suggest you update your vga driver. If that does not work, contact your distributors for support.



None.

Yeah, I had this same problem when I rebooted my computer and my partition had gotten screwed up(lost all its drivers) You need to get the correct driver for it to work right.



None.

I have gotten the same error when I was running something in the background. Perhpaps try running SC without anything else running in the background and see what happens. Can't guarantee anything, though :\



None.

You wait a few minutes and it goes away. Or at least, that's how mine works. :P

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
