But well, if you ignore that "spec" thing, the game looks nearly like before the patch, and dont lag

The special thing of these settings was matty graphic without spec If you're ok with shiny SPEC effect, ok then

Try to shutdown PIXELLIGHT? It works in pair with SPEC. It can cause other lags and some graphic corruption (ugly lighting on planet in menu)... but you should try it

1) What are your PC?
2) Have you cleared cache?
3) What are your variables settings?
4) Are you using alternate low textures?
5) Have you updated your videocard drivers to latest?
6) Have you tried to do all steps without editing variables?

I had the pink terrain too, just clear your cache and it should be fine.

I played around with these settings too and I noticed that spec=0 causes the freezes, when it's 1 it doesn't freeze anymore. However when shaders are set to Low and spec=0, it is completely fine but when shaders are set to Medium and spec=0, the freezes start again. I'm currently using shaders on Low because I rather have worse graphics than the ugly shiny effect.

Clear cache and spec=0 becomes ok for you

I removed everything from ProgramData / BlizzardEntertainment / StarCraft II and played a couple of games but still gettings freeze spikes. Is there anything else I can try to do?

Then no idea. I can't understand why you still have lags after clearing cache and variables.txt.

Go to C:/ProgramData/Blizzard Entertainment/StarCraft II and delete everything

ProgramData is a hidden folder. Make it visible via Folder options ("Show hidden folders and files")

Sorry if this was already answered, but how do I clear the cache/ what is the folder called? The game is running smoothly for me all except for mass banelings. When there are more than 6 I get 0 fps until they detonate.
