I want to know the best settings to see invisible units such as observers and burrowed roaches! I do not care if the game looks pretty, I much rather play on the lowest settings but I won't be able to see cloaked or burrowed units easily | ||

Regarding the optimal visual setting; I'd recommend just go with whatever your computer can run optimally and you like the best. Let's be honest here it's not like the (alleged) increased visibility of cloak units is something that will make you go from Silver to Gold. I mean no offense whatsoever here, I merely want to stress the gain is almost non-existent, thus I would recommend just going with whatever you are most comfortable with rather than something that will perhaps win you 1 more game in a 1000. | ||

Want the units and the terrain to look completely different so that you can easily spot enemy units? Lowest settings. A lot of misinformations have been spread on this issue, most notably by commentators such as Tasteless and Artosis. I've been to a few LAN tournaments and watched quite a lot of tournament streams. I've pretty much never seen any semi-pro/pro with low settings. Fact is, the game has been optimized for medium settings + play. With low settings, it is impossible to feel as well the flow of the game nor spot invisible units. | ||

 I think it's partly subjective as well. Some people can spot things better with different settings. I also think the lowest settings suck with cloak. But why do you care for such precise settings? Do you have problems with lag that you can't play on somewhat above medium settings? If you only care for cloak/burrow, just try the average medium setting and be done with it, I don't understand why you want exact settings. | ||

Hmm time to try medium I suppose, although low with ultra shadows and effects has the most blatant invisible shit ever (because you have decent quality on the invis stuff contrasted with absolutely shitty terrain :D). | ||

He said most koreans play like this, cause you can spot invisible units the best. He said it somewhere in the Prime stream, cause TtPiG asked him there, cause most foreigners seem to play on low settings and MKP answered it looks shitty and you can't spot invisible units with low settings. | ||
