So with the free to play update. Do those who own the 3 games and Nova DLC get anything? Like the new Co Op hero or something?

I dunno.

What I'd like to ask is why can't I buy the third campaign, the only one I don't already own?

Also, it seems like a lot of people are experiencing crashes.

but HOW?

[up] You cant buy Void with money now. They seem to only seem to be selling the complete package but for the same price as Void, $39 bucks. It includes the Nova DLC as well.

[up]Bit stupid having store pages for the third campaign that give you a 404 error page when you click on them then.

Question before I decide whether or not to make use of the free to play opportunity.

How well can the SC2 engine utilize multicore CPUs? I just upgraded from 2.0 dual core to 1.1 quad core with 2.2 burst and am worried that the game will run even worse because of the lower base clock speed.

My old dual core ran the game at medium graphics with a decent framerate. Now, System Requirements Lab says my new rig doesn't meet the game's minimum requirements - yet at the same time, PassMark gives it a higher benchmark score than the official minimum requirements', about 50% higher score than my old dual core and everything other than the clock speed blows my old one out of the water.

Before it died, my PC was a three year old $600 budget PC, and it handled the game just fine, so long as I steered clear of custom maps with high numbers of units like tug-of-wars.

If you can run heroes you can run this. Co Op though does tend to end up with massive amounts of units on screen.

Yeah. I'm a little vexed because I have a fairly new gaming laptop, and Brutal missions in Co-Op are flatly impossible to play. At the end, the game just becomes a 2fps slide show.

Hard runs fine, though.

...okay, note to self. Mc Afee blocks game updates even with real-time protection off.

Hoped to squeeze the remaining three weeks out of that preinstalled free subscription, but fuck 'em. Better off without that shit anyway, considering that I ran my older laptop for over 5 years with zero antivirus measures beyond UAC and never got a single infection.

Nobody gets a virus until they get a virus. I wouldn't count on a lack of issues in a past to mean no issues in the future.

Fuck Mc Afee. It's the shittiest of the anti-virus softwares.

[up] I couldn't agree more. That damnable malware let soooo many viruses into my computers. Once I ditched it for Kaspersky (and then went to Bit Defender), I never had a virus problem since.

Not to mention repeatedly pulling me out of games to say "HEY YOU NEED TO SCAN THIS, HEY YOUR TRIAL'S ABOUT TO RUN OUT! HEY! HEY!"

I'm glad I don't go onto the internet on my gaming PC except to go to GOG. Don't really have to worry about viruses there.

Tell me I'm not the only one who has no problems with Safe Haven, story wise.

I'm neutral on that one. As in, I prefer neither Safe Haven nor Haven's Fall over each other.

Completed In Utter Darkness on Normal with 2520 kills. Nice.

I always choose Safe Haven as my canon route. Too bad the Doc leaves either way so I try to do the mission as late as possible.

I've complained about the forks in Wings of Liberty before, so I won't again. I just wish they'd found a way to make them more relevant to the later campaigns.

[up][up] You aren't alone. Which often makes me use Battlecruisers on Haven.

The Blizzard Campaign forums are filled with people who are adamant on doing Haven's Fall, for "logic reasons" or some bullcrap like that.

Question for those who've already completed the "do mission in 20 minutes" achievement for Media Blitz.

Does the time limit include the surprise attack or does it start counting only when you get your base?

nightwyrm_zero Since: Apr, 2010
#1450: Nov 26th 2017 at 4:37:43 PM

[up]20 minutes include the time you're playing with the Odin. So you really only have about 15 minutes once you get your base.

I don't think I ever got that achievement.
