Ok. I don't really know why this happens. I open up Starcraft and it looks fine but I open up Starcraft with Xfire running and it looks really fucked up. And it's only Starcraft so I know it's not Xfire. And Starcraft works without Xfire so I know it's not Xfire. Anyone know what's wrong?
Here's what it looks like:
Main menu where you choose single player or multiplayer:
Menu where you choose what account thing or whatever you want to play on:
Menu where you choose what race you want to play as:
That will randomly happen to me. Changing your screen resolution usually fixes the issue. Sometimes I just alt tab out and back in, then it's settled.
I have to alt tab like 10 or 12 times to get it normal. And it only happens in Starcraft. I can play any other game and they all look just fine. >.< I don't get it.
I believe starcraft is played in 800 X 600. So setting your resolution lower, possibly to 800 X 600 fixes the problem. I also think on blizzard help forum they list the same steps.
It happens in Diablo 2 with me all the time, especially on battle.net but it goes away after i alt tab in and out. Don't know what to tell you, just don't use xfire if you don't need to.

It's a color palette thing. You can cause this to happen if you have some video card issues, if you change between screen modes (alt-tab), or if you change gamma. Usually this happens in older games because they use palettes with less colors.

It's really driving me insane. >.<
Anybody know what might be wrong?
(It does the same thing with Brood War. >.<)

I would make it smaller then 800x600 but thats the smallest my computer will go. >.<
It started happening when I got Xfire. And it only happens when the two are running at the same time.
Also, my friend set everything up for me. Heh.
Hope you figure it out.
I'll ask on Yahoo Answers I guess...
I just hate loosing Xfire access to the people I talk to. >.<
Wonder if the people at Xfire will fix it...
