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?

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

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


Thanks not sure why that happened, figured it out anyways

To be frank, the best version of SC2 would be Fewer Resources Maps + Dynamic Units Movement + This + removable of HP bars on screen. Oh man, the spectatorship!

When I try to put his in, I'm not seeing any changes. I copy pasted this into my Variables.txt yet nothing changed. The screen resolution and mouse sensitivity and stuff changed, but I don't see any difference of the in game view.

First, add my settings to the end of variables.txt, do not delete old options

Second, you're probably editing wrong variables.txt

I first did add them to the end and got no changes whatsoever.

I have to .txt files. One titled Variables, and one titles EditorVariables. I edited the one titled Variables.

Probably you have two users on same PC? What if sc2 uses variables.txt from other user folder?

No it doesn't. I am the only one that uses this computer and I took it from the folder that has all my other SC2 stuff in it.

No it doesn't. I am the only one that uses this computer and I took it from the folder that has all my other SC2 stuff in it.

Then I have no idea. I've tested it for myself and it worked for me. I did reset to standart Ultra settings and then out those settings to the end of file and it worked for me. Maybe something on your side.

Try to check next thing. After launching sc2, open variables.txt and see, are there new settings or they are same, as before?

This is okay. Turning on unit death animations isn't good for people taking the game seriously. One of the big reasons pros use low is so that the units disappear instantly and everything is a lot more clear. Turning these death animations back on is a big turn off for me.

you will still be able to see, what you or enemy are warping. On low settings it's impossible to see


You can tell by the width of the hp bar, and if there is energy. I can see the merit in having this option. If I do decide to use this I'll probably end up turning off the death animations at the least. I already had the forcefields more visible. I applaud you for bringing up mixing settings (with a new and useful perspective) because it hasn't been discussed very recently to my knowledge.

Ok cool it's working now! I guess I just had to do it a few times, not sure O_o

You and anyone can turn it off again. One of the main features of those settings is lighting and matt style with some shadows and brighter lighting on dark maps.

Doing everything super-clear is a benefit of standart low settings, but I don't like it just because SC1BW looks better than standart low settings. On lows you have smooth textures without any animation, effects, and darker game. SC1BW looked better than SC2 on lows. If you notice SC1BW had shadows under objects.

Thanks !

I turn off HDR (HDR=0) because I dont like the blur effect of HDR.

I know PES 2012 added a no-blur patch , I wonder if this can be done for HDR in SC2 ?

Blur effect? But blur effect is other parameter (which is gamehdr8bit). HDR just adds lower color saturation and better lighting.

Oh I see, thanks Existor !

Blur is reduced but Im no fan of the color look and still-slightly-present blurring going on with HDR.

Well, it's your choice. I hate hdr=0 only because more saturated and darker game.

And hdr=1 makes dark night maps lighter.
