When I watch pov streams I see that players have even lower setting than me so I figure they changed some scripts or something...I really need to imporve performance... ;s

This might seem to be the case if they stream in a relatively low resolution / quality; so it looks worse. Probably just your regular 'Low'.

Blizzard never bans you for changing your resolution, graphic shaders or unit sound volume. Also read 1st post again please.

Blizzard never ban for changing options like this. It's YOUR folder. Starcraft folder is located in Program Files, not in your documents

As i warned in 1st post (if you read it), these settings require PC that can hold medium or high settings.
If you have pc that holds only low settings, i cant help.

If your pc is good, then I cant help you again, because i had no problems with these settings and most of users here had no problems too.

Also you should not forget about fps limiters. If you have memory spikes or drops, as blizzard said long time ago, you must add fps limiters parameters. There are 2 parameters of the, and they're listed in 1st post too.

* smooth and animated creep spread animation, but without slime and any special effects on it

Instant creep spread shows you where the creep is and is not with certainty without having to check build grid, it is better for gameplay

* more detalized models - now you can see awesome green deaths from acid weapons (banelings, roaches) or flame deaths (from helions, colosus)

Doesnt everyone already have models on high for this? low settings mostly refers to shaders etc, and very few use low models because you cannot see what is warping in, etc. Its more about being able to see what you need to see without any difficulty, and people already do this with low settings.

* shadows and better lighting. On fully-low settings game becomes a bit darker, and sometimes it's TOO dark, especially on night maps, like Cloud Kingdom, Metalopolis or Shakuras Plateau. This settings preset fixes that moment

Personal preference

* Another important feature of this preset is more readable Force Fields and Stealth units. With turned off simplified cloaking and models, it becomes more visible, than on low settings

Again, bunch of people already did this, its well known and many people streaming with low have those settings

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

Fixed with models, a single setting, covered above


* small glossy effect on Overlords. On low settings they are very dark, but on medium and higher they are more noticeable with their glow on left-right sides of unit model

Ok, i guess

* on low settings game is a bit more saturated. On medium-high-ultra settings, with HDR turned on, game is a bit less saturated and a bit more realistic and less toy'ish

"toy'ish" is easier to see and differentiate units


* pylon circle is same, as medium-high settings. No more ugly blue circle without animation!

Models, again, you have three bullet points for the same setting

Good for some i guess but i dont like

Thank you so much for this!
I must admit I thought it looked quite bad judging from the pictures. After I tried it ingame my standpoint on this changed drastically.. It looks so nice :D especially for protoss.

Why not play sc1 then? Its more clear, no shadows, no problems with smooth creep animation. Or remodell sc2 into cubes, circles and one-colored unit models?

Regarding "perconal preference" about darker game on low settings on night maps - its not my preference. Its really it is, that on lows game is darker on night maps, than on medium and higher settings.

Regarding thing that many people have high models. It isnt true. Most streamers dint know about this parameter and they still playing with hardly visible force fields, that is more hard to see on already darker nigh maps.

Regarding toyish effect. I want to disagree. Without that hdr effect game becomes darker, as I said. It changes both settings that is lighter game and a bit less saturated (probably 5%). Many players hate stronger team color mod, the only thing is better game readability in mirrors (lings vs lings, stalkers vs stalkers, etc). I dont like very colorful games, firstly because we already have a lot colorful games (red alert 3, cnc4, cnc3 was nice and more balanced regarding colorness and player colors on units, end of nations requires colorfull units to understand where are your units, supreme commander 2 is all about one-colored unit models)

Reason why I write about model changes triple, is because many people dont know how to change pylon circle specifically or change warp animation only. It was only an explain what I did to change these game aesthetic elements, that sometimes make game more understandable.





Also, I want to add, that these settings are true medium settings, because current medium settings are very similar to high settings. I did something lower than current mediums, but higher and nicer than lows.

damn, really want to use these settings - I'm stuck using ultra for now...
If anyone has an idea of how to replicate this, maybe they could post a screenshot of their options menu from 1.5?

I know this can't be used on 1.5, but what settings make the game looks as close as possible?
I was getting really used to this patch, now the game looks ugly (I tried textures on ultra and everything else on low).
