The main issue is that the stupid patch deletes your familiar variables file and the new one is different.
We are now forced to make a brand new research about the new variables file. Fuck blizzard.

Yeah 1.5 is a little strange, but thanks to the OP or putting the effort into making this thread. Very helpful.

What I want to say, they they reworked many old settings. Pixellight works differently on low and medium settings, but there are some old configurations, that are good now (they were bad before 1.5.0)

Would be really really nice of someone who dealt with the new variables.txt and managed to get the old graphic settings back to work could post them here! Thanks in advance!

Try this:

19. "Low" texture setting looks much nicer, results in lower performance
As described here, "Low" texture settings now load prerendered static bumpmaps, whereas the previous "low" setting had no bumpmapping at all. The result is (arguably) a nicer-looking picture, but some people are reporting performance problems that may have something to do with this.

Fix: You can restore the old "low" texture behavior by setting "alternateLowTextures=0" in variables.txt.

from the 1.5 bug list thread.

I've done this but haven't tested yet

Has anyone tried messing with variables.txt in HOTS? I have tried to put spec=0 but every time I boot up Starcraft it appears to auto change it back to spec=1.

I'm trying to get rid of the shiny/glossy look of units...

Put your variables.txt as read-only in the properties.

Just in case anyone still needs it:
shadows parameter seems to be forced to 1, even if your variables.txt is r/o, but

GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=1
shadowmapsize=1

removes shadows completely (technically as you may see, it doesn't, but you still get a noticeable fps boost. And for saving your time shadowmapsize=0 crashes the game).

note: GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=0 if you need blob shadows.
note 2: works well along with "medium" shaders.

Good Luck!

It will create temporary file somewhere in other place

Hi,
i accidently diabled the sound in starcraft via shortcut 'ctrl +s' during a game, and now i'm not able to turn it back on. The shortcut always displays 'sound disabled' but no 'sound enabled'. If i go into the options and set the check to enable sound, starcraft forces me to restart itself. In the log in screen there is sound but if it switches to the bnet surface all sounds disappear again, and the sound check is .. well, unchecked, again.

I've done certain changes to the variable.txt, and was told to set the file to read-only. (otherwise sc would redo some things)
So now i wonder if there is a part where i maybe could enable sound again and not screw over my settings? :o

Thanks in advance!

edit: I've unchecked 'write-only' and the sound is back. But still, it would be helpful if someone knows which zero needs to be a one. So i can put my back up .txt back in place. For now, i let sc do its wonders D:

Hi everyone, bumping this threads because I have some problems with my 16 : 10 monitor since I upgraded to Windows 10.

I used to be able to tweak the variables.txt file in order to put the game in 16 : 9 resolution (i.e. 1680 : 945) but now the change in the variables.txt are always changed when I launch the game, and in game there is no way to customize the resolution, and even a 1600 : 900 is not proposed at all (and I think before win10 it was).
