This looks so much different than the previous settings, guess it's back to the low low settings

The main difference here now is only brown creep instead grey. They're replaced basic texture for creep from grey to brown.

But if there are more differences, so post them here and I'll look at them.

Just change to any standart settings preset and relaunch game. Whats your PC? Maybe it can't hold standart ingame medium settings?

It might not be his computer. It might just be B.net? Before patch I could run starcraft on Maxed out settings(Before I found this :D) but now after patch my computer lags hardcore with these settings T.T was unplayable before the update to the settings and now I jsut get random massive lagspikes where my fps drops to like 1 T.T

Whats "WORKS WITH 1.5.0" supposed to mean? I haven't tried these before, but I did just now and games now take 6-8 times longer to load (on an SSD!!!) and when they finally do I cannot see the ground textures at all.

I'm having a lot of problems with this.

I have a fairly strong computer:
i7-2600k
Radeon 6870
8Gb DDR3 1600Mhz

I get those freezes in game, where it suddenly goes from 200 fps to 0.
Also loading times are SO long.

Above all this, the variable.txt just reset to default after I restart SC2 cause of 1.5.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply. I actually just did a comparison, recreating a scene from a screenshot i had prepatch with these graphics settings, and noticed a few different things, like shadows on buildings/units, and the game just seems so much darker. One of the reasons i switched to these settings was because of how dark the game was previously.

Another thing, when i use these settings i get extreme lag and FPS drop. My computer can run ultra arround 60 FPS and was running low with no problems, but with these settings it becomes 20-30 and drops to 0 randomly.

Thanks for reading.

I'm getting the same fps problems. So went and tested it out just against the AI and it's just mainly during battles that my fps just dies on high setting. Even though I was running them on the exact same setting before patch. Makes no sense. >_<

I found a way to optimize old settings. Or if say more correct, redone them from scratch, using 1.5.0 settings.

Now works with 1.5.0! Check 1st post and post here feedback, if you have problems

''If you have FPS problems, tyr to add those 2 parameters to the end of variables.txt file

frameratecap=60
frameratecapGlue=30''

-Existor


Even if i do that, its not helping my fps. With your hybrid settings before 1.5, it was way better.
Any idea to correct it?? Its 60% worst now..

Thank

If you have framerate problems after setting these variables, try going into the In-Game Options, and turning Lighting/Shadows/Shaders to Low.. just make sure to keep Models at High.
It will only revert a few settings that use memory, but most variables like SimplifiedCloaking should remain untouched.
I am using a 2.4ghz dual-core with 4GB RAM and a decent 1GB graphics card, and am getting ~70-80fps most of the time.

not totally hybrid, but it's also not true Low.. a lot of the variables will still stay the same, except for the shader/shadow stuff.

I used to used this before the patch and everything was great, but now, even after those updated settings, I just get stuck at loading screens all the time, they can last well over 10 minutes.

It means that I've updated these settings.


Here are solution that you can do, to bring back similar settings:

1) In game options change all to low
2) In game options change shaders to medium
3) In game options change shadows to medium
4) In game options change models to High
5) In variables.txt change SPEC=1 to 0
6) In variables.txt change shadowmapsize=2048 to 1024
7) If you want, get the special low textures, by changing alternateLowTextures=0 to 1

First times it can cause long loading, but it works later normally. You should try that now.

I used to used this before the patch and everything was great, but now, even after those updated settings, I just get stuck at loading screens all the time, they can last well over 10 minutes.

Even if i do that, its not helping my fps. With your hybrid settings before 1.5, it was way better.

Check solution above. If not helps, you can post here again.

I loved the old hybrid settings "everything was on low and it looked amazing" but these new settings change some things to medium.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have the same problem now but for me it is black instead of pink. Was using these settings before 1.5 with no problem. I tried both the copy and paste method and also the "manual" method with setting things in game then making changes in variables.txt. Either way I get the same result.
