I am also having the same problems with graphics glitching out and being distorted, I tried making that .bat that you mentioned and put in the text that you said to use and it does nothing but flicker windows for a second.
I am using Windows7 64-bit, when using the down loader to install starcraft, the original version of the game seems to work fine, but once the patch to 1.16.1 goes through it always glitches when running the game.
