Many reports revealed the latest NVIDIA 196.75 graphic drivers have caused computers and graphic cards to die while playing StarCraft II Beta. A Blizzard Entertainment tech support representative has confirmed these drivers are causing the fans control to not work properly thus causing graphic cards and PC computers to overheat.
The recommendation is to uninstall the latest NVIDIA drivers released a few days ago, and to downgrade to the previous drivers until a new driver fix is deployed.
Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.
I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.
and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.
It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.
Blizzard may have accidentally revealed the release date for Wrath of the Lich King Classic with an edit to the expansion's product page.
The random dungeon finder existed in the original Wrath of the Lich King. It needs to exist in Classic Wrath as well.
I'm so glad I didn't install this driver. I have meant to do it, but always get busy and forgot to do so.
Oh noes! This reminds me of The Ring, only PC-related.
"If you play Starcraft 2, your computer will DIE".
Ouch, close bloody call!
What really bugs me is that this seems like a pretty big deal. I mean what ELSE do you use Nvidia cards for than 3D games?
omg I installed this driver a few days ago :|
