First what u need is to have ur old variables.txt, copy it somewhere, patch the game, open sc2, it will overwrite ur variables.txt. Now u go to new variables and u notice that there is a different between old and new file "GraphicsOptionOverallQualityVer7[8]=5". Now u go to old variables, insert there GraphicsOptionOverallQualityVer7[8]=5 save file. Paste ur old variables to documents, enjoy old settings  Edit:After testing it via FPS Test custom map, same fps like before patch | ||

Tested and works like a charm. TY Existor! Also note that if you want to change any of your graphic settings in the future, you will have to disable read-only for this file while you get the changes in effect, then re enable it. | ||

However most of us knew how to edit it and had found a good compromise for fps/look. In my case I just need to use Alternatelowtextures=0 simplifiedcloack/shaders=0 and hdr=1 .... everything else on low... unfortunately I cant use them anymore and I'm really angry right now. I tried the "only read" thingy but the game kept resetting the variables file returning to default settings. Is there a CERTAIN way to use at least the alternatelowtextures=0 ???? the new low textures have horrible palette I really don't like it. | ||

But old low settings requires more memory than new ones Indeed, there are bugs causing slowdowns in 1.5 but I don't think they're anything to do with low textures. They've made low look more like medium while using less resources. It's a win, while many got used to the way it looked the old low was a compromise and not how the game was supposed to look. I'm pretty sure blizzard weren't happy with the idea that turning down the settings was potentially giving advantages beyond keeping frame rates up. And they probably don't want screenshots kicking about of the game looking as rough it did with the old low settings. | ||

Yes, modify the variables.txt found in the document - Starcraft II - Account - (long number) subfolder. | ||

With the new patch the system doesn't accept HDR=1 with low settings anymore .... HDR is just for medium settings and more... but i love it cause the palette with hdr are more real and less strong and pesky than in normal low anyone tested and found how to put back HDR=1 without getting resettings or conflicts?? I've tried to put it in the /numbers/variables like alternatelowtextures but for some strange reasons it gives conflicts and everything turn pink.... I was used to play with hybrid mode High ground/LOW settings/hdr enabled to get a very good compromise but now I can't do that anymore ... any ideas ? | ||
