I get that the SD version is basicly a inferior version of Broodwar, be it for whatever reason, even putting it into window mode in a similar configuration to the orginal doesnt seem to get you the same quality... Is it something about my settings or are there really no water animations in SD version of remastered ? | ||

Only thing they added when people complained was a slider, which makes everything look super blurry... | ||

This is like the borders of hearts of iron 4, its breaks the illusion... Further, i find it quite strange that the previous versions of starcraft had water animations, while for me at least Starcraft Remastered SD F5 version doesnt seem to have it ... | ||

You probably have the option turned off. Check "Enable Color Cycling" (under the 'Game' options, for god knows what reason, since this only pertains to a graphical effect). That's how water animations were implemented in BW: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_cycling | ||

The issue is that even if monitor resolution is already 640x480, SC:R still applies anti-aliasing for no reason! I hope Rust code in ShieldBattery will address this issue at some point. PS. The best visual experience is by far with an old CRT monitor with fake progressive scan (by only drawing even or odd lines) and natural scaling without a need for anti-aliasing on the CRT tube (be it software or hardware). | ||

Whereas 1.16 forced monitor to change resolution mode to 640x480, thus monitor's hardware anti-aliasing means were used.

Bad that, i got rid of our farvouriteCRT Monitor some years ago... I mean even if you get the pixelated look, the buildings still have this special look to them from the original. Not even talking about the different colors between SCR and broodwar. One more real, gritty,disgusting, while the other more like bright colors, baby cartoon... | ||

Another thing I noticed is that the Mac Version of remastered still looks fine in sd. So I suppose whatever Blizzard fucked up has something to do with upgrading to a newer directx version for the Windows version of remastered. Here is a screenshot running the current remastered version on a macbook using the sd graphics: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/HZA28qj.png) | ||
