EPTi've searched but i can't find it does anyone remember these settings or if this is even true?
i say this because i was watching byuns stream and he's amazing at killing observers and i think that is such a huge deal tvp

You can see ThorZain do it almost every TvP if you watch his stream. | ||

After making some searchs myself, I noticed that the best way to spot observer is to play in extreme settings and to be sure of the position of the obs you can inser/delete (move camera on side) like Byun or just zoom to better see the observer. I would like to know if, playing on low settings, there is something else that you could boost to increase the visibility of the observers. Because I can't play on extreme when I stream, the game becomes a bit laggy :s | ||

And yeah, if you were on the ball/lucky, you might see their cloaked units anyway, but that would generally be more unlikely than if you left settings on predetermined levels (e.g. low, high, medium, w/e). I'm not saying don't customise your settings, but tailoring them to increase your ability to see cloaked units seems a bit underhanded imo. | ||

I remember distinctly that the method TLO uses was: everything on low except textures, which need to be on ultra. Optional are effects on ultra, which i use purely for a visibility thing. and further you have the option to enter the "simplifiedCloaking=0 simplifiedShaders=0" lines into the variables txt. | ||

Well, you can still have it, but it doesn't make cloaked units any more visible. | ||

Textures: Ultra Effects: Ultra Terrain: Medium (Optional) Models: High Unit Portraits: 3D (Personal Preference) Textures: Ultra - changes the detail of everything - you'll be able to spot the cloaked blur easier. Put on Ultra if you have a 1gb+ graphics card. Effects: Ultra - changes the detail of particle, ribbon, splat, explosions, dust, tread, and beams. I can't tell if cloaked units are easier to see, but I know that burrowed Roaches/Infestors are easier to spot with Effects on Ultra. The shadow/tread that appears when burrowed units move is larger, darker, and more noticeable when set to Ultra. Terrain: Medium - creep looks nicer, makes no difference to cloaked visibility; set to low or medium, whichever you prefer. Models: High - I believe this has to do with unit model animations - when set to low it uses the same animation for multiple units, like when a zealot or stalker warps it uses a generic warp animation. When on high, you can tell whether what kind of unit (zealot, stalker, sentry, etc) as it's warping, so make sure you set this to High. I don't recommend changing the simplifiedCloaking or simplifiedShaders in variables.txt, it can mess with the graphics and personally I don't think it looks any better. | ||
