I've been experiencing some glitchy fps hiccups where it'll be running fine at 30 fps (set 30 to max) and then i get the "you're computer is slowing down the game..." message and it drops down to 1-4 frames per second. That can last for ~5 minutes, but then it eventually sorts itself out, i can usually hear my fan speed up, and then the fps jumps back up to about 30. I'm running everything on low and my comp specs are below, and riding the edge of the minimum requirements. i've tried adjusting frameratecap and such but it had no effect.

So i'm wondering if this is an issue that will you know about and will be addressed before launch or if my laptop will be unable to run it. I can deal with 15 fps average but any lower than that and it becomes near impossible to do any kind of decent micro or macro. It has been my experience that starcraft 2 needs more optimization work please do it for a long time blizzard fan and keep up the good work :)

Hello Kryptic

Laptops often have settings that can underclock the hardware. Make sure you have all power saving features turned off and that you are playing while connected to an external power source.

Laptops also tend to run hot. To reduce the chances of overheating be sure the vents for the laptop are clear, that you are on a hard flat surface or one designed for laptops, and that you are in a well ventilated area.
