Isn't this against Blizz's Terms of Use or is it not? If it isn't, then you should update the OP so that people don't hesistate when they want to install this because they think that it violates the Terms of Use. It's not against ToS, because: - some time ago Blizzard recommended to add some parameters to variables.txt to limit FPS to stop burning video-cards. It was fixed some time ago, but parameters can still be used. I mean these parameters: frameratecap=60 (In-game FPS limit) frameratecapGlue=30 (FPS limit for the battle.net user interface) - this file is yours and isn't a game client file. You can delete it, modify, etc This file contains your ingame settings. Why they should ban you for changing ingame resolution or shaders? You can do that via ingame options and via variables.txt. Both ways are same, just first one is more designed with option menus, when second one is a list of parameters, that you can turn on/off | ||

But you are basically changing graphic settings to settings Blizzard did not test or optimize for. You might see gains, you might see it make it worse. | ||

You might see gains, you might see it make it worse. Yes, there are tons of graphical settings, and they're a lot more, than ingame options via menus. And it allows to modify ingame graphic more detalized, turning off some effects or graphical things, that you can't turn off with ingame options. | ||

No it's not, variables.txt just stores all the settings you set in the options and lets you adjust some more stuff that the graphic settings don't have settings for. This mod only changes your graphic settings, nothing else. Will try new settings later, really hope it fixes the frame drops. | ||

Also with your settings shadows becomes very pixelated. But with softshadows parameter it becomes more smooth | ||

And High settings are taxing. And this long post to suggest Medium settings? Theese settings are between low and medium. If you change ingame from low to medium, you will see a huge difference. This one is lower, than medium, but a bit better, than low. | ||

I played the single player after changing my settings to these and there are these bright red squares in place of textures that I assume don't work on these settings. Most notably in missions where the zerg rain down those zergy drop pods the ground becomes a bright red square. Ill try to get some SS's Those settings was adopted for multiplayer and not tested for campaign. How do u change the color of the box/highlights etc wasn't it green before now its yellow... Really? It's green for me as always | ||
