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? There are no serious reason to list it, because: 1) Needs a lot testing, and only some will use it. Mostly will stay at standart ingame options 2) Most players are okay with low-detalized Force Fields or smooth textures. They just doing everything low and they don't know other settings and don't want to know. 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. http://ru.twitch.tv/colminigun/b/325133339 Watched VODs from minigun and desRow, and I want to say, that it's same as current low-medium hybridic settings, that listed in 1st post. | ||

But are the txt u altered is same as low or high setting? Do I need to change my setting to medium and than implement the txt u changed? or Do I change my setting to LOW than implement the new txt that you posted. No matter, just add new strings to the end of variables.txt and it will change ingame graphic | ||

I tried it and I had my first crash of SC2 in two years. Might be unrelated, but I'm still removing it from the settings. Just posting for the record if anyone else is having trouble. SC2 closed instantaneously without warning or error message, windows was still responsive. | ||

As soon as I started using these settings I would get random freezing in game that lasts 1 or 2 seconds. These look so much better, but it's unplayable. | ||

P.S. What's impressive is that even on Low settings, X8 replay speed would stutter. Not with this. | ||

I assume the frameratecap means that the game can't go over 40 fps. | ||

Battlecruiser and other animated backgrounds at battlenet interface As soon as I started using these settings I would get random freezing in game that lasts 1 or 2 seconds. These look so much better, but it's unplayable. Use framecap parameters | ||

Unfortunately, I tried playing a ladder game with my new graphics settings and was forced to drop because of the horrendously low frame rate. My computer is very old and it lags whenever shaders are set to medium, which is most likely why I could not play with the hybrid settings. However, the game looks beautiful and it is very easy to differentiate between units and terrain. Great job~ | ||

I always wanted to make settings look both pretty and with clear visibility, which these settings can achieve. The common misconception I see in this thread is that people expect this settings to skyrocket their FPS when they play on pretty outdated hardware. Unfortunately, this is not the case. To play above "low" you need at least semi-decent hardware - high clocked cpu (number of cores doesnt really matter) and then even middle ground gpu will do. I think there should be a disclaimer in the OP that these settings require at least semi-good hardware to really shine. | ||

If you are referring to my post, I would just like to say that I never expected my computer to perform brilliantly. The only reason I posted was because it seemed like Existor put time and effort to create this, and I wanted to thank him for bringing this to the community, even if it means I can't enjoy it. | ||

Probably that will work now? You should test it. I can't say how to fix those FPS drops, because I don't have them and I can't find source of the problem. I think there should be a disclaimer in the OP that these settings require at least semi-good hardware to really shine. Thx for info.I'll add it. | ||
