Weird SC2 Problem

[Thor_Odinson]

Lately, I've had 3 crashes on my machine while playing SC2. 2 were "out of core memory" issues and 1 was an "ErrorOutofMemory" issue.

The weird thing about it is that they didn't occur while I was in-game (which should theoretically be more taxing -- graphics-wise and cpu-wise). It happened when I was on the menu screen - either when I would click on a mission to load or after the victory screen, as I am about to quit it. Anyway, I am running on a 3.0ghz Athlon II X2 250, 3gb of RAM, and a GTS 250. I take it that they should be enough, since I am just using Win XP SP3. It never happened when I was playing on my old rig (Sempron 3400+, 2gb DDR1, X1650Pro).

Is this system-related or does the game have some memory-leak issue on the menu screen?

There was an issue with the menu screens not being frame-limited and overtaxing video cards, but I don't know if that would cause a memory error. There's an .ini setting to change if you want to give it a try though... google "SC2 menu bug".

Probably isn't your problem, but it's all I've heard about regarding the menus. Sorry, maybe someone else knows something.

I think there is still an issue with that on the menu screens as when I'm on the menu screen I can hear my fans kick into overdrive, in game, they don't. Never crashed me though
