Apparently sales aren’t the only white-hot thing about Starcraft II. The game’s menus, graphical lightweights though they are, don’t have any maximum cap on their rendering cycles. That’s right, Starcraft 2 is presently set to render those static blue menus at your video card’s nearest neighbor to infinity frames per second. The glowing slag that used to be your video card doesn’t quite meet the game’s system requirements, so you’ll probably want to implement the handy workaround.

From Battle.net (via GameInformer):

…go to “My Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt” and add these lines:

frameratecapglue=30
frameratecap=60

You may replace these numbers if you want to.

Of course, if the workaround is so damned simple, it makes you wonder why Blizzard didn’t throw it into the patch that dropped today (at least until they fix the real problem). But hey, it’s not my inevitable class action lawsuit; they can court it as they like.
