A Blizzard a Starcraft 2 megjelenésekor nem teszi bele az élsimítás funkciót a grafikai beállításokba, derül ki egy IGN által Chris Sigaty-val készített interjú során. Ez csak később néhány hónappal később egy javítócsomagban kerül majd be a játékba. Természetesen mindkét videokártyagyártó cég  (Nvidia, ATI-Radeon) termékeire optimalizálva lesz a Starcraft 2. IGN: Those who’ve played the beta (or just watched the videos) know that it looks great, even on a mid-range machine, but will we be able to anti-alias the boxed game when it’s released? „Sigaty: No; but we will be releasing 3D in the first few months, for those Nvidia cards and screens that support it,” Chris states, before we quickly pursue Nvidia’s presence at the event, and ask about those players running ATI cards. We receive a stock but believable response: „we’re optimising for all systems.” IGN: A satisfied note-pad in hand, we pursue the anti-aliasing question just one more time. No promises made, but it could certainly be done as a future update – again improving the game during its life – as could numerous other graphical upgrades as technology advances, and the median hardware gets faster. The first game has lived for twelve years already. StarCraft II may well take it further, if its ability to evolve stays in step with Blizzard’s ability to invigorate its products with new content and ideas. Forrás: Starcraft.incgamers.com IGN.com

Nem kell megijedni, jön az a béta 2. fázis, július 14.-ig van még idő. Amíg a fejlesztő csapat nem mondja azt, hogy készen áll a rajtra a következő fázis, addig nem indul el. Ez sok mindentől függ, most a servereket készítik fel az újabb játékos rohamra, nyilatkozta Kapeselus és Nethaera. Kapeselus: The reason is – the infrastructure had to be prepared for the release and the huge number of players logging into our servers. A lot of minor bug fixing, perfecting small details and all the different things necessary to deliver an awesome product. Once it is all done, phase 2 will begin. Nethaera: I always find it interesting to see what people define „early” or „late” to mean. So, you’re saying that „early July” is equal to the first half of July. It seems others thought that early July meant the 1st of July. Some seem to count the first week as early and the next two as mid. That said, we’ll keep you all informed on the start of the next phase, no worries. I’m just stunned that it’s already July as of tomorrow. How time flies when you have a lot to get done before the exciting launch of a game. 😉 Forrás: Sc2PodBluetracker/Beta Phase 2 Start Sc2PodBluetracker/Why Blizz ended Phase 1
