Really long loading time (basically, map loading ends up in a timeout) for the first game you launch (i guess it's still due to the "spec" setting) but after that it's fine

edit : well, after testing it a few more times . .. some fps drops every 5/10 sec :/

I loaded up fine using it, and there wasn't any lag, but it didn't look at all like the original hybridic graphics. I attempted to do it multiple times without much success, so not sure what the issue is.

It does not looks same because alternate low textures. Those textures requires less memory usage if loaded prorerly. You can turn it off, ans I said how to do that in 1st post.

In other terms it's same as initial hybridic settings that I've planned. Something between Low and Medium without shiny effect.

Fixed long loading time. Added information how to do it:

6) Open C:\Users\<your_name>\Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt (that is semi-locked after 1.5.2) and add to the end of file next parameter:

GraphicsOptionOverallQualityVer7[8]=5



Please comment here how it works now

First loading is still 1 or 2 minutes long, but better than the previous 10 minutes :p
Nice one ! How did you find this ?

That line was a solution for other problems around low settings in other thread. I had that line too (just to test it), and when I've deleted it, it caused long loading time for me. When I've added it back, it worker normally again with standart loading time

Question: can we still modify the textures to medium, as you mentioned before updating the OP?

Yes, you can. Just change in game options Textures to Medium. Highly recommend to delete "alternate low textures" after that, because it's not tested when both are enabled

the loading times are still longer than normal for me, but once I can get into the game, no more fps drops or lag of any sort.

thanks!!!!

I can't get this fix to work at all. The variables.txt in the main file keeps editing back to not having the 6th step line in it. And the accounts folder has 3 different <numbers> folders with variables.txt inside each one. Also these edit back to normal automatically when I enter the game.

It does not deleted that added line. It just moves it to desired position. All parameters are listed in alphabetical order. So it was placed at right position somewhere at G letter.

hi guys if you want to cut off shadows like me and gain more fps in this hybrid configuration just write shadows=0 in the documents/starcraft2/accounts/numbers/variables.txt.

That setting and low models give me +40 fps
