Is there any way (e.g. by editing the preferences file) to get back to the old settings or does the tweaked game engine prevent that? | ||

I really liked the sharp and minimalistic look there. However, in HotS this configuration isn't possible anymore, because you have to set the shaders to medium to use the higher detailed models. Medium shaders are looking pretty terrible, so I'm playing the game on the lowest settings now. The game looks minimalistic there, but it lacks the sharpness of my WoL settings. Is there any way (e.g. by editing the preferences file) to get back to the old settings or does the tweaked game engine prevent that? It prevents that, but there are still some solutions. First solution. Here are closest and similar settings to Hybridic ones. The difference is old shiny effect and higher resolution of shadows, also some other slighty differences like sharper edges of creep. • All settings to Low • Textures - Medium • Shaders - Medium • Models - High • Terrain - Medium (if you want animated creep) Second solution. Use Darker D3 Mod. It works with SC2 too, making it less saturated and a bit darker. Put all files into Support folder and copy d3d9.dll into latest version folder in StarCraft 2 2012 Beta/Versions, and you will have more serious StarCraft 2. Also you can get sharper effect, but I dislike it, so darker+desaturation is enought for me. Here are my screenshots of it. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Gj8MQqys.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mwoXRxis.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/E1ChBcAs.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nF5hiCrs.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/afxOCKKs.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/OwT8vRas.jpg) | ||

Blizzards already blocked many variables.txt editing, so thats all we have right now. Some things can be done too, but you and me know, that it's not similar to pre-1.5.0 patch times | ||

Has this happened to others as well? Edit: In a normal game vs. AI everything was normal. Maybe its just a bug after a custom game. | ||

Im changed my hotkeys, and now my APM is like 70%-100% higher than in WoL. I wonder if the new keybinds are so great or WoL uses Blizzards seconds (shorter) and HotS uses normal seconds (longer). | ||

I am a diamond toss in WoL and wanted to play random in the beta for fun (and maybe for the portraits :D) but over the last 17 games I've been zerg 12 times and terran 5 times. 17 games in a row without any protoss? I know that it is random and that this is plausible but damn... The chances of not getting a specific race for 17 straight matches is about 0,1% if I'm doing my math correctly... | ||

Instead there was a message saying, that I shouldt upgrade my game to gain additional experience. The upgrade-button directed me to my battle.net account in my browser, but there nothing happened. Overall I am level 15. 4 with Protoss, which I played in the monobattle. Has this happened to others as well? Edit: In a normal game vs. AI everything was normal. Maybe its just a bug after a custom game. playing another game has fixed this issue for me.. | ||
