Any possible reason why my CPU always crash and auto-restart when I open Starcraft?
But once rebooted, SC would work :O

No Idea, but I guess
A virus or maybe a hardware-graphic-card bug?



Please report errors in the Staredit.Network forum.

Try reinstalling starcraft if you haven't already.

Try scanning your computer for viruses, spyware, and adware (Note that not all programs scan for all three of these.) If that doesn't work, try installing SC on another computer: That will at least tell you if the problem is on your computer or if something is actually wrong with your copy of SC.

Also, maybe you could use Farty's Downgrader to downgrade to a version that didn't give you the error and see if that helps... If it does, connect to Bnet to upgrade back to the current patch and see if you start getting the error again. If downgrading fixed it but upgrading broke it again, then it's probably a hardware problem. (Also, I once broke one of my MPQs somehow... You might have done the same, in which case downgrading and re-upgrading might fix it.)

Update your video driver. I had the exact same problem before, and that's how I fixed it.

Okay, solved ^^
In fact, it is the SysFader that would make my computer crash. If ever you have this problem too, right click on your desktop, select properties, go under "Display", "Effects" and UNcheck all the 4 first boxes.
:D

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
