As you say, there are many other ways of cheating even without this feature. It would be silly to take out something useful for many people just because it potentially provides a marginally easier way to cheat in a tournament.

Not that difficult; you just need to do some crazy actions you could not do without this "cheat".

Even if you try hard not to do that; you will at some point.


And if that happens; peops might get as far as looking for your IP (the same in stream and game; easy one).


Stuff like that; no matter what; if you are a Pro in some form; cheating will be caught at a point in your "career" ; and that will be your doom.

Stay fair, and everyone will like you. (or hate you even more xD)

I use Low, Low. Please add me in your post :D. I use Low cause I can't max on ultra and I feel if it's not ultra it's not the great looking anyway. And even with high, when there's a lot of units, it slows down a little.


The OP is putting down the settings for Pros. Are you a pro?

When I use windowed mode (fullscreen) I can't change the gamma in game, it stays as the default, (which I think is too dark), I usually have it a bit brighter, anyone know if it is actually possible to play in windowed and to be able to change gamma?

Maybe change it on your graphic cards settings?

Yeah, I thought I'd have to do that, but then it changes the gamma of the my desktop too (which I don't want), was wondering if there was an easy solution to it? if a solution at all

I honestly don't understand why some pros play on low graphics. It's insanely hard to see forcefields in those graphics and some things aren't as visible as medium+ graphics.

I think most pros play on low. I play on low, and forcefields are perfectly visible for me. I actually get annoyed watching casts where the game is usually in high or ultra, since there's so many little flashy bits on buildings and things.

On the other hand, as someone who plays on Ultra/Extreme settings, I barely even notice those little things.

One of the main reasons for playing on Low is so that you dont get any lag, which is the reason why I play on low. Period

I just use medium because its easier to see than ultra or low and I get plenty of fps since I *could* run ultra if I wanted to.

I don't think extreme and ultra should be separated ;\ they are the exact same in real game play.
