I dont get anything and im on chrome too? D:

[FaDeHellfyre]

It's only certain updates/versions of chrome. For some people, it will work just fine. Eg mine works fine as well.

I used to use opera ^.^, then i realised what a douche i was being and went to chrome. FireFox is alright but i prefer chrome, there's less crap on the screen, leaving more room for the web pages.

[crAzerk]

I use Chrome cos it's the most lightweight and clean browser. I love the feature that when a tab crashes, it's only that tab (whereas for IE/FF all your pages get closed when one crashes)

FF has frequent updates and addons that delay the opening of the browser.. and IE is... well, IE.

yer I had a similar thing with chrome a while ago, my 2cents cant even log into my router with chrome so shit imo apart from that it's good the router thing doesn't happen in unbuntu, only windows :S

Just curious does it only happen with alt-tab? what about windows key + tab?

The 1.4.1 patch fixed the Razer mouse issue.

Last day or so my SC2 has begun to stutter every 10-15 seconds having fps spikes for about a second, I've tried disabling Intel Speedstep and changing my power management options to high performance for my video card and computer in general. All my temperatures are fine (Mid to low 40s for CPU and GPU) as well. Anyone know what the problem could be?

My specs are:
Intel i5 2500k
Gigabyte 460GTX 1GB SOC
Asus P8Z68 V-PRO
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Thanks for any help .

I've had similar problems every now and then over the last week, since around ladder lock time. I'm fairly certain mine is b.net or ISP related though (and my ISP been fine with everything else), since FPS is technically staying steady. It's like little stutters every 5-10 seconds (when it's bad), and then sort of like a speedup as it resyncs

[Next_rim]

Same, since ladder locked, I've been experiencing lag and delay, but normally it's only for first 3-4 mins of the game, then it smoothens out.

[Snx.FigJig]

Hmmm, I'm going to just try completely reinstalling SC2. Will let you guys know if it fixes the problem.

[EveJeonSa]

Check your FPS in game, CTRL + F, top left hand corner

If it's fine then it's probably your connection with battlenet and not starcraft II itself, so much lag nowadays T_T

[Snx.FigJig]

Reinstalling didn't do anything but I reinstalled my video card drivers and it seems to have fixed it, so if you haven't done that give it a try .

[TABjornbrandr]

You running ATI or NVIDIA?
I've had constant issues with my radeon 6870, easily resolved by updating the drivers.

[Daboo]

I used to have this problem a few months after the release of sc2, but a driver update(ati 4850) resolved the issue, and hasnt comeback since.

Initially it seemed like a connection issue (felt like lag), but for me it turned out to be the graphics card. Why dont you try playing in single player or change everything to lowest settings and see how the performance is. We might be able to narrow the problem.

EDIT: oh you fixed the problem..didnt see that

[Snx.FigJig]

I deleted the driver .exe file from my comp and once I did that it started to stutter once again. Why would deleting that file cause that happen? o.O Is becoming quite annoying. My settings are also at medium to low as well and running at around 200fps.

Edit: I also have Windows 7 64bit and downloading the 64bit drivers, but since SC2 only uses 32bit does that mean I have to get the 32bit drivers as well? Also i meant theinstallation file, not the driver itself.

[ETL.Branno]

No to the 32bit drivers.

If you think it's your connection to BNET causing you to stutter randomly just open a replay or play single player and see if the problems persist.

I only get stuttering sound when I'm playing in windowed mode and I alt tab a lot, confuses my stupid PC sometimes, switching to fullscreen fixes that for me though.

Oh, make sure you don't install Nvidia HD Audio that comes along with the drivers, as that did (no idea if it's fixed) cause stuttering problems in Starcraft 2.

Computers suck.

[Snx.FigJig]

Thanks zerggirl, will try that . I do play in windowed mode but i always have and it used to work fine. Also am not sure if i have installed the hd audio drives :/. How do i find out and uninstall them? Thanks for all your help guys!

[ZergGirl]

Control panel and look for Nvidia HD Audio or something.

Try playing in Fullscreen (not windowed-fullscreen) for a little while and tell me if it stutters. If it does alt-tab twice and see if it improves.

What headset are you using btw? - Only asking about the headset because my silly little banshee headset (USB) caused multiple games (inc sc2) to stutter like crazy because the USB port was faulty.

[Snx.FigJig]

None of those worked unfortunately . Nvidia HD Audio isn't in my control panel but it is in my device manager, but I don't think it would be the problem since this really has only happened in the last couple of days and I had the 280.26 driver update longer than that. I have a Gamescom Headset (not sure which type) but I hardly use it at all, I use speakers instead :P. I'll try put my mouse/keyboard in different USB ports to see if that works, hope it isn't the problem though since I just got a new M/B D:
