It dropped my FPS to around 5 when there was any sort of action, remember to back up your Variables.txt before you try it -.- sigh

I switched from my everything on medium/some things on high settings to this. Before i got 40-50 fps through entire game, now at the beginning i have 100+, but as the game goes longer, i drop to even 25. Dunno what causes this, seems like with many things on the screen these settings causes extreme frame drops.
Try to turn off some settings in my preset

I got 100 - 150fps playing with everything low/off except texture qual. high. With this settings i only got 40 - 60, so i might stick with the first one.

Do you really see difference between 100-150 and 50-60 FPS? Especially without looking at FPS label

The only thing I would like to change is beeing able to see terran decals on buildings while having everything else on low settings.

Turn off low quality models

It dropped my FPS to around 5 when there was any sort of action, remember to back up your Variables.txt before you try it -.- sigh

Whats your PC that you can't handle standart medium settings?

It's quite normal, as Falling said, these settings are really focusing on getting nice looking units, but non demanding terrain settings. Thats why it looks so easy to focus on whats important on the screen. But that's also why when the unit count gets higher, it can actually get more demanding than an all on medium settings

My computer can handle ultra with 0 problems but this hybrid low-high setting thing gives me some freezes and fps drops etc.

Anyone know why? It's a shame, too, since it looks amazingly good and I would use it for sure if it didn't break my computer.

Exactly, but when SC2 launches, it will load latest settings from the bottom and replace only modified settings.

Prorably because you're used old settings. Try to revert to standart game settings and then put my settings to the end of variables.txt

Ya, same for me. My fps is 80+ most of the time with these settings, but in action, sometimes, everything freezes for a good 2/3 seconds before coming back to 80. It's weird because all it does is putting medium settings with a few hidden ones, right?

Right. Mostly low and some medium settings. Very strange because for some people and for me it works normally without FPS drops at all.

Especially me, because I've added some settings (spec and pixellight) to make zerg buildings look better, and ingame bloom

This is actually really nice. But I would remove those "side-shadows". I much prefer blob shadows which are much less distracting for me

Free to edit. Go to options and change shadows to low

These settings work great for me,
My specs
AMD 1100T 3.2ghz phenom II 6core
8Gig Ram
GeForce GTX 560
My FPS on Extreme graphics tends to be roughly 60-70 (at all points)
With this the graphics honestly look about the same and im getting 110-120 fps.
Thanks very much for this

EDIT: also a slight problem, at the very beginning of games I usually get a quarter-second or so freeze before the game continues, not sure if this is just my computer being strange or its a bug with the graphic settings. Either way it isnt at a time where something like that would matter.
TwitchTV as Maaasked I stream hots (rarely)

Quick question, after changing this setting I can't see my menu button in a game anymore so I don't know how to leave the game. Any idea why?
Don't let those anti-cheese advocates tell you what to do. Rush to meet life head on!

F10 or go Gameplay -> Menu -> Show always (clickable)

But I've updated those settings, so it will not revert your one o_0
