LotV has been a step down on the map visual aspect That's one of the reason I've been avoiding a lot of the LotV textures, many of them are busy and make mines and such too hard to see. | ||

The only exception for me is Central Protocol, which I have banned after one game. There is weird blending of creep which makes every place where I have creep really confusing with random bright and dark places, where I can't even see my units properly. | ||

The creep thing is because LotV uses a different normal.dds for creep than HotS does. You can see this when looking between maps like Orbital Shipyard and possibly Lerilak Crest, with any other Legacy map. I talked about this here. | ||

Lurker spines by themselves on white paint would be hard to spot where its coming from, let alone Fields of fucking Death. | ||

One of my friends also said that he uses those settings because of map lighting issues and variability | ||

Instead of having colors go from 0-255, they actually go from like 20-230 so the darkest color available is a light grey, usually tinted one color. seems to be a map editor setting, because some maps run normally and others have that problem. If you know the setting, could you post comparison screenshots (with fog of war, of possible) between the live ladder map version and a "fixed" 0-255 version? Neither of your screenshots seem to really show the issue. I'l take a screenshot ingame of what the map actually looks like. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hGZVQxl.png) The colors of everything dark on the map is squished. The blackest black is 14, 15, 23 - a blue tinted grey - and this also extends to the UI for some reason. On other maps, this is 0,0,0 as it's supposed to be. ----- ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nzIkLCq.png) I made another picture, cut out a bit of the solid color and replaced it with black like it is on a bunch of maps and all of the pre-LOTV maps, to show the amount that the color has changed. it seems obvious now that this might have been done with some artistic intent - but the end result is completely awful IMO. AT THE VERY LEAST it should be toggleable back to normal. I noticed this color issue on release day when I started playing the campaign. I profile my display and use a colorimeter to calibrate led TVs ect, so this black level issue stood out immediately for me. I'm bumping because I'm wondering if you found anymore info on a fix? Settings edit or something like that. | ||

Settings edit or something like that. The fix is to yell at blizzard and post stuff on twitter/reddit until they edit the official maps  Not much more we can do, i think. Really just bring the issue into the public eye. This is something that i think a lot more people should have noticed (because it's extremely obvious to me and bothers me every time that i play) but it seems like a lot of people won't really notice it unless you show them an A vs B with an improved version. It's the same for some other issues, like the microstutter that the game has. Everyone is just used to that and they don't know what a better version would feel like. Fortunately this colour thing looks super fixable with a few slider drags, so it should be easy. I have not played for a little while so i can't say how the new season maps are yet | ||

Ladder Bridgehead: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/b2GQJ92.jpg) New Bridgehead: Basically means we can use the new lighting style (Filmic) but would have to get rid of Colorize - which kinda ruins the point of using Filmic. | ||
