The better/higher the resolution means: the background gets more recognition, the difference to foreground is very thin. The colors get pale. My real issue in ALL games. The reason why I play sc2 with low settings. | ||

From what Ive seen of WC3: Refunded's art is that it looks like they completely half assed Blizzard's usual art MMO which is readability, they design things with strong color, silhouette, and everything to make sure things read well in their games and the backgrounds look like they didnt even attempt to balance out how things were sitting tonally, so it all looks bland and washed out. Art is supposed to be the thing Blizzard never fucks up, so its really extra shameful that its fucked up here. | ||

Here is a preset by Bilu called Crispy Reforged (v.2) Original: ![[image loading]](https://sfx.thelazy.net/media/medthumb/Warcraft_III_2020-02-19_23-00-26_7esxkfO.png) Preset on: ![[image loading]](https://sfx.thelazy.net/media/medthumb/Warcraft_III_2020-02-19_23-00-31.png) Notice how it has less of that yellowish haze, it is easier to see unit and building models. Click here for a full-screen split-screen comparison so you can see the difference more easily. And check this and this for other examples where reducing the yellow haze makes the units more legible. More WC3:R shader presets posted by users can be found here. | ||

That's why I often check if I'm not on a lowered quality on streams, only to find that no... | ||

Probably could do it by launching the stream in VLC and applying the reshade to it? | ||

Dreamhack is live btw! https://www.twitch.tv/esl_wc3 Video bitrate of twitch.tv/esl_wc3 is too low according to r-1.ch/analyzer/ Stream Info Resolution: 1920x1080 Frame Rate: 59 FPS Audio: aac (LC), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 189 kb/s Total Bitrate: 5368 kbps H264 Profile: Main Likely Encoder: x264 (veryfast / superfast) Stream Uptime: 2h 17m 14s Reduced Delay: Yes Transcodes: Yes (5 options via 2017TranscodeX264_V2 ) ~5400 kbps is not enough for 1080p60 at that x264 encoder setting especially when you're playing a game with high resolution textures and there is lots of motion, you need 6000 kbps otherwise you get blockiness/pixelation mainly with the terrain any time the observer pans the camera around. Either Twitch is throttling the bitrate or ESL forgot to increase the bitrate. | ||

I think it generally has in the past. If WC3 gets bigger then maybe it’d need a sub-forum in future but au present seems to be the way | ||
