I tried adding the texts on my Variables.txt but I didn't notice any change. Did I miss something?

Vertical Synchronization - makes ingame FPS similar to FPS of your monitor. But this requires a bit more PC resources and can cause lags in some cases

Out of curiosity would this same thing still work on a Mac OSX ? Not sure of specs on it, but curious if it would these would work on it without lagging it too much in game.

Not tested at MacOSX (because I don't have it). So you can test a bit and revert back at any time


Works fine on MacOSX and definitely ups the FPS from the default settings (it wants me at Ultra mostly but that has me at 20-30fps). These settings live around 60. Early 2011 MBP - 2.3gHz i7 - 8GB RAM - AMD Radeon 6750M.

experienced the ingame lag... game wants to crash on me after I applied the variables.txt changes... can't control the mouse that well.

Does relocalizing affect my game client in any way?

This is actually performing better than the mostly low settings I had... o_O

Boost from around 130 avg fps to 150-160 ish.

My normal settings is everything at lowest possible, tried these and i get around steady 80-90 fps however i have a VERY long load time.. and sometimes the game freezes during play for 3-4 secs.

Any idea what can fix it?

This happens to me as well, especially the freezes

It´s something what I expected, that there could be any bug in some custom map effects, in campaign map effect. And I saw a bit background bugging in b.net menus in one of the background pictures (lighting bug). But as long as it´s ok in every ladder/gsl/... maps, it´s ok. At least for me, I can change setting before playing custom games or campaign (u can easily save more variables.txt with different settings and just easily copy paste each time u want change it, something like "gfx settings profiles").

You can do that via ingame options with lowering shadows

if anyone is interested, here is a simple comparison

As you can see, there are not only lighting and shadows with some glow at overlord, but also better models and different creep spread animation

In case anyone was wondering what these graphics do to the campaign.

It's not tested in campaign and oriented to work in multiplayer.

experienced the ingame lag... game wants to crash on me after I applied the variables.txt changes... can't control the mouse that well.

I've deleted relocalizing parameters long time ago. Reset your settings and add to the end of variables.txt

I tried adding the texts on my Variables.txt but I didn't notice any change. Did I miss something?

Try to paste instead all your settings. But other settings can be reseted to default.

I can´t, because ingame shadow options is somehow connected with shadders options... With medium shadders, u can´t have low shadows (just medium+) and if I change in variables just that display one shadder option to low (nothing change with graphic) but shadows settings ingame are automaticly turned to low (not changed, but shows low in ingame options)... And u can´t have any other than low shadows with low shadders in ingame options -> so i cant change it to rewrite all shadows parametres.

Find next parameters and change them to zero:

GraphicsOptionShadowQuality
shadows

You can do that on high and ultra settings too. I mean, you can get blow shadows at high and ultra setings like on low

Ultra is the way to go. People who force themself to play on low/mid are stupid, it doesn't has anything to do with gameplay! 99% of the good koreans play at least on high and are way better than every low-detail foreigner newbie.

And if you don't make money with the game, you play it for fun and low detail is no fun at all.

So L2P and play on high/ultra.

I'm fully agree with you. But there are sometimes some small things, like Dimaga playing on low settings since beta and he prefer those settings.

Other question that on low settings there are some less visible or noticeable things (Force fields, stealth units), and pro players don't know, how to turn these settings ON. Also they don't know, that there are differences between normal and worse Force fields (for example) and game can be looked better and more readability for themselfs and for stream viewers.


On other side there qre a question of smoothness of the game and high perfomance. We all know that SC2 isn't that optimized game and some better looking RTS games requires a lot less PC perfomance. Someone love high FPS (60+ FPS makes game more smooth and adds some realistic feeling, unlike 25-30 FPS). Remember ROOTDestiny streams for example.

Can anyone please tell me which variable has the following:

' * you will still be able to see, what you or enemy are warping. On low settings it's impossible to see'

I only want to fix that instead of blind copy of suggested variables.txt in OP.

Edit: I found out how.


useLowqualitymodels=1


should be changed to


useLowqualitymodels=0
