Same problem here, tried full screen and windowed full screen no difference.

My Starcraft 2 has been crashing mid-game too many times since I installed this. It was very nice while it lasted but I am now returning to my old settings.

(or whatever FPS cap fits your machine) really help to make this work better
at first after applying the OP, i was going up to 100 FPS, which can melt my cpu, but re-adding the FPS caps solved it

You're increasing certain settings. It will decrease fps.

I tried this can I was very pleased with it. I played pretty smooth with a couple mild fps spikes but other than that I found this to be a great preset!

This is a very bad one, I tested various times - takes same ammount of cpu power and memory etc. as ultra settings, sometimes more, but looks almost as bad as low, not looking a ton better...would prefer to just go full ultra or high, rather than this...

Thanks to Existor, I discovered that, with all low but with hdr=1, the game looks better with minimal/no performance cost.

I did try the settings but I get bad framerate even at medium settings with my 9400.

I see teamliquid and other streams utilizing these settings. It looks so pretty

Somewhere on 1-3 pages you can find where variables.txt is located in Mac

Some settings decreasing FPS a lot, and some are taking very small amount, so game stays smooth and unlaggy. But yes, it can depend on framecap parameters.

Try to add those 2 parameters to the end of variables.txt

frameratecap=40
frameratecapGlue=20

You can modivy them, like 60 and 30, or more/less.

I tried it and it does not give me hybrid low setting, instead it gives me like a medium setting. For example CoLminigun's hybrid setting looks great but mine does not look like minigun's. Anyone give me hybrid low setting, just like minigun's hybrid setting or desrow's.

Thank You.

The first one or two times I played each map I got small lag spikes, after that I didn't get any lag spikes or frame drops. =)

I tried switching to this, but it didnt seem to look any different than what i normally do.

Could you, instead of the variables.txt, list what each thing is on the bnet gfx changer menu thingy?
