Never tried it pre-1.5 patch, but with your updated config i have A LOT of lags. It's not like i have less FPS, but game client seems to be laggy. When i wanted to leave a custom game with computer I pressed Surrender and it took about 2-3 seconds before i actually left the game. Also there seems to be a lot of situations when the game just freezes for a second or two.

My PC:
Intel E8400 @ 3.0GHz
AMD 4890 1GB (o/c)
4GB ram
7200rpm hdd

I never had any problems like that with all settings set to maximum

I tried editing these to all the different combinations of 1s and 0s that are possible but I still just see a solid black color for the ground, like in the pink screenshot but with black not pink.

I did discover that if I set spec=1 then I do not have that problem. But with spec=1 everything is much more shiny rather than matte, especially zerg buildings and creep are very shiny and I do not like it. I prefer a more matte look. Anybody have any other ideas for settings I should mess with?

Try to change pixellight to 0 when spec=1 ? If one of them (spec or pixellight) is turned off, shiny effect removes then

Delete and the game will create the new default one for your config.
I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star. I drink vodka straight from the samovar, and my riding bear plays on the balalaika.

Same issue here. I've been using the settings from the original post before the patch with great success, but post 1.5 and updating the variables.txt I'm getting super long loading times and in-game freezes of up to 3 seconds.

Well, I can't fix, because I don't know the source of the problem and freezes. It's ok for me after 4-5 games (first some games I had huge freezes and long loading times too)

T.T I had the sickest freezes today, I really hope you can magically come up with a solution, because I would miss your settings a lot.

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.


Yeah too bad,

well i did what you suggested, now my fps is great, thx

Before the patch you had listed somewhere how to get shiny zerg buildings and creep back. Anybody still know how?

It worked normally via next 3 parameters:

- pixellight
- spec
- normalmap (this one only makes better quality for shiny effect)

Now these parameters can work a bit different in different combinations (like one turned off and other turned on).

You can experiment with these 3 parameters

I don't want to get use to this if its not allowed at tournaments, do you think I could change to these settings at MLG or other open tournaments?

I followed the instructions and added the commands in the end of the variables.txt. After that the game became really slow.

So I tried again, and this time I erased everyithing in the .txt document and then pasted the commands from this thread, saved, and started the game. It's working wonders now.

TL;DR
Removing all commands before you paste in the new ones fixed the freezing for my game.

I just wanted to ask wether the hybrid variables are meant to be added to the others in the file or to replace them. Could OP clarify please?

I just got a new computer and so I'm free to choose my settings, but I'm used to playing on low and find high/ultra distracting. So this providing a reasonable middle ground looks very interesting.
