I updated my gfx drivers for GTX980 Nvidia chip and have started to receive the below error. I have reinstalled the game and rebooted my machine several times as suggested by the error but it still keeps coming up. I’ve installed to 2 different hard drives and the error still persists. Not sure what else to do…

Same issue, none of the solutions offered are relevant to my issue.

I could play the game normally on my old card, but not since I got the new one. It’s an NVidia, so it should be supported, and it’s newer and better than the previous one.

Problem is, I can run the game normally if I uninstall and reinstall it, but after I restart my PC, this problem shows up again. Is there a way to fix this? Preferrably without having to fix it every time I wish to launch the game.

I also have the same occurance. It seems Starcraft gets tetchy with any machines with multiple graphics drivers.

I too have started to have this error, It seems to be tied to the Windows 10 Update that happened this week

Yea, this issue happens to me all the time when updating the graphics card. However, i have tried in-game reset and other things still won’t load me into the game.
