While watching over my replay trying to figure out why a Diamond level player would walk into a nuke. I found out that the nuke dot is considerably less visible when playing with Ultra Shaders. By less visible, I mean completely non existent depending on the camera angle at least when on creep.

This problem only occurs on ultra right? If you're playing on a setting at high or below, it'll be clearly visible?

As someone with a color deficiency, I don't see it on any settings. Always fun when someone goes for nukes.

Errr, that's have I've always seen nukes, as a tiny red dot...can you compare with what happens on another setting? I use everything on low and it looks the exact same to me...

Edit: sorry never mind, i see the dot disappears on ultra? that is kind of odd.
i keep going back to my response to chill's fake PM and laughing, then immediately getting a feeling that i assume i'd get if i had an orgasm and the girl said "hahaha guess what i have a dick" -FakeSteve

This problem only occurs when the Shaders is on Ultra. Changing the shaders to high and leaving everything else on ultra fixes the problem.

Is there a way to modify the files or to tell blizzard to use another color. I'm colorblind and it takes me about 5 seconds to spot the red dot when I ALREADY KNOW where it is. So if I get randomly nuked, I'm fucked.

I'm not changing my settings until I get nuked. That's how much I love my ultra shaders.

Edit: If it only affects Zerg, then I definitely won't ever change it.

Thats a pretty bad bug - I would guess that if this was brought to their attention they would fix it somewhat soon (maybe next patch). You should post that in the bugs section on battle.net forums so it will be viewed by Blizzard.

The same bug existed in beta with low shaders, except it was an invisible dot ontop of a barracks.

have you posted this on battle.net?

Personally I just generally never seem to spot that freakin dot, while playing with everything on low.

Nuke dots are generally pretty hard to find now because of the whole 3D rendering thing. It's even possible to hide a nuke dot behind a building so that it can't really be seen. Also, when placed correctly, the nuke dot is almost invisible when placed onto a Nexus because of all the other colors.
