Existor,

is there a reason why you removed the list of variable.txt datas we have to change to get the hybrid settings ?

Does the new instructions does the exact same thing as this previous list ?

Thx

For me, Fullscreen(WIndowed) is an ideal screen mode. I can smothly alt-tab and use custom UI, that are cuter than default ones.


I have to use Fullscreen(windowed) because if i use Fullscreen, my screen minimize itself around about each 15 mins. Its very frustrating when in a middle of a battle... Do you know how to fix this ?

This seems like a good place to ask.

What do I have to do to get my screen to look like it did before the patch if I play on low (specifically how do i get rid of all the random shadows (even though shadows in general are supposedly turned off) and how do i get the "more light" that there used to be)?

Thanks

Because with it's harder to see what causes problems with that big list of parameters. So I've put simply instruction how to reproduce same settings.


Does the new instructions does the exact same thing as this previous list ?

In previous list here were some parameters, thos worked uncorrectly in 1.5.0. It was needed to turn them on to make them work normally in 1.5.0, like pixellight (caused ugly lighting in 1.5.0 game, now it's turned on)

What do I have to do to get my screen to look like it did before the patch if I play on low (specifically how do i get rid of all the random shadows (even though shadows in general are supposedly turned off) and how do i get the "more light" that there used to be)?

More light - hdr

No idea, maybe you have some unneeded notifications that minimizes all windows?

i have huge performance problems since the 1.5 patch, does runing that replay mentioned in the OP help me? I mean i don t need those hybrid settings i just want everything as low as possible to have the best possible framrate, does this replay still help me then?

how much is the difference between windowed fullscreen and fullscreeen? Would you recomend to change to fullscreen or is this just a minor difference?

thanks

This replay just loads all animations and models. For first time after launching PC it will load replay laggy and with small freezes, but once you finish the replay, freezes will dissapear untill you shutdown PC.

Change to fullscreen, see your FPS. Then change to windowed-fullscreen, see your FPS again. Compare and use the best mode for you.

- did you all instructions without editing variables?

i dont know if i have done all instructions since i don t really have a list of them, but i have loaded the replay the guy in the OP posted, i guess thats the preloader replay....and how to clear my cache, sorry i dont know how to do that....

for some things in the open post im not quite sure if helps only for ppl who want to have hybrid settings or for FPS problems in general, this for example:

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

Here are two ways to preload all cache. One is to launch replay, and second one is to find "preloader" map and run it once and every time you launch sc2.

Using the preloader map I have 0 frame drops with these settings :D
Still hoping blizzard fixes it soon as loading preloader every single time is really annoying.

I tried to put the graphics settings as explained in the first post.
But when I create a custom game with an AI to test, half of the screen to load the software to lock up and I have to close the Sc2 did not respond.

What is it?

I don't understand what you mean. Can you post screenshot?

Usually it's no matter what patch you have. Here are just graphic settings, nothing extra-special like special mod or ingame editing.

But in 1.5.2 they're added something about variables.txt recover. Because it's not up in EU, I can't say anything for now.

Test it for yourself and write results here, if you can.

Hey I just tried it with the latest patch and it doesn't seem to work with it. I'm getting missing textures (The ground is completely black).
