    I feel like posting about what is surely a temporary bug is kind of pointless, but I just want to know if I'm the only one who's experienced a crash in every single campaign mission so far? It hasn't been game-breaking because it's always happened early in the mission, but is annoying nonetheless and considering the stability I've had for months now with every other game, it's hard to imagine it being a hardware issue (and yes, I have the latest drivers for all of my hardware short of the beta drivers for Nvidia graphics cards which mention no improvements for Starcraft II outside of SLI).

    Again, surely something that will be patched on either Nvidia's part or through a general release, but still has ground my attempts to play the campaign to a halt for the time being.

    Played through 1/3 of the campaign and haven't had a single crash. Running on a Geforce GTX 460 on ultra graphics though I have heard of other users experiencing your issues.

    Err, I guess I should mention my hardware is fairly standard for this era of gaming. Core i5 3570, Geforce GTX 670, ASROCK Z77 Extreme4 being the most relevant items.

    I mean, as long as it isn't me, then I'll be happy knowing there's a quick fix in the works.

    Blizz forums show some people complaining about crashes, freezes, and stalls but nothing official other than update your drivers from what I saw. Seems pretty sporadic in terms of hardware that its affecting.

    I have the exact PC set up.

    Gtx 670. I5 3750k. 8gb ram

    On mission 20 and had roughly 4 crashes.

    And the game isn't running that smoothly some compare to my older 3 year old PC.

    It's running at 33fps with everything max when I'm in the home base.

    It's a common issue with current drivers of GeForce 6. Either downgrade to version 310.90, or wait for new ones. Nvidia is working on it.
