Don't take my word for it, but someone told me Fullscreen gives better performance over Windowed (Fullscreen). But I still used Windowed (Fullscreen) because alt-tabbing is so much smoother.

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

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 ?

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)?

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 ?

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?

still same lag problems, as soon as there are a lot of zerglings or a lot of storms and animations it starts to lag terrible....i didn t had this before the patch at all even on high settings

is there anything i can do to get back the old graphic settings and play without lag.....cant believe i have to buy a new computer just because this retarded idiots of blizzard....

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


frameratecap=60
frameratecapGlue=30

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....

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.

So I just saw the patchnotes for 1.5.2, I guess this means this doesn't work anymore eh?

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).
