    I am consistently seeing my computer lock-up at least once a day when I play SC2. Do you think it is a driver issue?

    Thanks!

    Most likely that is the issue I see you have an older driver try updating it and post back.

    I have updated the driver on my R1 and starcraft 2 won't launch with crossfire turned on, Vsync, Forced Triple Buffering using RadeonPro.

    Not sure what I am doing wrong.

    The game works great without crossfire but in 3v3 or 4v4 when everyone has lots of units it tend to start slowing down. I am thinking crossfire would help if I can get it to work on the game.
