Probably just better aesthetic part? Nothing much different.

frameratecapGlue=30 (FPS limit for the battle.net user interface) still work. It has been said that higher end graphics cards can overheat without this. is this true? | ||

It has been said that higher end graphics cards can overheat without this. is this true? If your graphics card overheats then it's not really the game's fault. Limiting your FPS can lead to lower power consumption and temperatures, but also limits input rate (usually not noticable for most people, but it's there) and there are also monitors out there with more than 60Hz. I'm also not sure why you would want to set color depth to 16bit. You would have to show me a really significant advantage to justify that. Theoretically it could improve cloak visibility if you have really low color depth, but I don't think 16bit is going to do anything. | ||

GraphicsOptionShaderDetail=1 GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=1 for shadows=1 shadows=1 for simplifiedCloaking=0 and simplifiedShaders=0 Also: lowqualitymodels=0 and useLowqualitymodels=0 must be the same. | ||

As it is right now simplifiedcloaking/shaders gets reset when i tried in the past since the patch. | ||

Then: GraphicsOptionShaderDetail=1 GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=1 shadows=1 simplifiedCloaking=0 simplifiedShaders=0 It isn't as good as before, but it's the closest we've been in a while. | ||

Also, why don't you set the file to read-only to avoid dependencies? | ||

I don't think setting it to read only works. Haven't tried in a while so things may have changed. | ||

That certainly is a limit on FPS. Isn't it better to leave FPS the way it is? | ||

Having it higher than 60 won't do anything besides increase power consumption and possibly heat. Having the menu set to 30 fps again, doesn't really matter since it won't affect performance. If you have a 120 hz monitor it may be worth it to keep it higher, but that affects an small number of posters. | ||

Current Solution
Current Issues
edit: particallod determines the moco animation on the nexus. The best solution I have is to add: GraphicsOptionEffectsDetail=1 particlelod=1 Unfortunately this obscures some things. Most noticeably the distinct units warping in. Overall though if we're making the best competitive setup this is it so far. We're avoiding splat effects, ribbon effects, tread effects, and something called: cheapquadselection If anyone could help find out what that does, I'd appreciate it. Current list: Everything to low bakeTerrainLighting=0 globalhdr=1 glossmaps=1 GraphicsOptionEffectsDetail=1 GraphicsOptionModelQuality=1 GraphicsOptionOverallQualityVer7[15]=5 GraphicsOptionPortraits=2 GraphicsOptionShaderDetail=1 GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=1 hdr8bit=1 lighting=0 lightingLevel=2 lightingregionmapterrain=1 localhdr=1 lowqualitymodels=0 normalmap=1 particlelod=1 pixellight=1 preBlendedCreep=0 shadows=1 simplifiedCloaking=0 simplifiedShaders=0 spec=1 textureBasedFOW=1 use20shaders=0 useLowqualitymodels=0 | ||
