This 15 page thread has some people who say they've had melted cards. A lot of the problems seem to be with laptops. As a corollary, people are reporting that the "fix" also helps with Alt+tab speed if anyone cares about that. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/starcraft2/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-55785055&pid=939643&page=2 [gamespot.com] Since I haven't seen anyone else post the fix, I will: Add the following lines to your "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" file: frameratecapglue=30 frameratecap=60 You can add them to the beginning, end, or wherever. The game doesn't care.

Something I was given that, it seems, solves the insane overheating problem by capping framerates which, if the thread is to be believed, were without a cap, allowing the vid card to run to the top of its capacity and thusly heat up.

I've got all the campaign ones, except for the Lost Viking stuff.
