Well, you put hard work to do that and ppl can just thank you but having to do such things to play correctly is a shame somehow.
Gonna try and post feedbacks.

Hey, thanks a lot, these are very nice settings, I think I'm gonna keep them. Freezing was unbearable at first, but I don't know if thats due to the settings or the patch. Anyways, over the course of 4 games vs ai it got better and better and pretty much runs fine now.

I'm going to stick with my normal settings for now, these have been causing too many freezes even after copy-pasting from scratch. GG Patch 1.5

After 10 games or so it seems to me like there is a freeze each time something happens for the first time post-patch. The first time a specific unit spawns, first time something burrows, first time units die etc. Second time the problem is gone. Sucks for those 10 games as a 10 second freeze going into a battle isn't helpful, but the upside is that the problem seems to solve itself.

You should try manual solution.

You can reach these settings manually, by doing next steps:

1) In game options change all to low. Textures - as you want.
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


It works for me without lags.

I just deleted the variables.txt entirely, and then followed the manual steps as you listed. It works without lag but still experiencing this: http://i.imgur.com/p3olh.jpg

Queens and some other units are purple as well. Also missing textures for rocks.

Clearing the cache worked, thanks a lot! Glad I can use these awesome settings again.

It's just true medium settings, that are nicer than LOW and less-intensive than ingame MEDIUMs. In SC2 medium settings are very similar to High settings.

These settings gives clear game without many special effects, and they're nicer than low settings.

You want higher FPS, than on LOW, right?

These settings are between low and ingame Medium, not between Low and SC1

Can you explain what the "spec" variable does? It seems to cause a LOT of lag for me, but I'm still curious. Also, what is the idea behind decreasing shadowmapsize?
