What else in game I can do to increase performance? I heard changing variables.txt helps, but dont know what can I change? I found only two things so far: alternateLowTextures=0 shadowmapsize=1 What else? Bonus questions: what these below do? can I change them somehow to increase performance? bakeTerrainLighting=1 fastFOW=1 use20shaders=1 waterflipbook=1 waterrendertargetsize=768 TerrainTextureSize=480 lightingLevel=1 lightmap=1 | ||

Some ppl say how can you play on low its so ugly. Dude graphics is not for what i play games for. | ||

I use pavilion g6 hp laptop and hots settings are all the lowest but it laggs sometimes anyways | ||

I don't see any reason why it shouln't be enough there too. Starcraft 2 isn't about timing that much. The latency when playing online will always be higher then the differrence between 50 FPS and 100 FPS. (because there is pretty much none) | ||

A player with 20 fps vs a player with 60 fps, the higher fps will almost always win because of the time it takes to see each other on screen. Now with an RTS like SC2, fps doesn't make a whole lotta difference except in large micro wars like Ling/bane wars. Obviously, you want an fps that you can coherently see (preferably 30 fps), but the difference between 50 fps and 100 fps won't make a difference. | ||

I imagine UI would make it so much easier, just imagine a list of options. E.g. 'Unit graphics' [x] Low [ ] Medium [ ] High Then SC modifies variable to: unitModel = 0; // 0 for low, 1 mid, 2 high Boom! No need to understand what each variable in variables.txt does. Time for community to wake up and ask for this. Alternatively, some user solution can be made (configurator) that asks you questions based on which it generates variables.txt, but the creator first needs to understand variables.txt very well. | ||

Yeah its a good point, the margins are way finer in an fps. But i would argue once you get into the mid game and later where you can be stringing together complex sequences of actions at 250 apm and higher, having even a few of those actions delay or not register can really screw you up eg Ctrl clicking a group of running speedlings or setting a rally point. Having to redo stuff as the latency has caused an inaccurate/null action like that makes the game really really difficult. | ||
