That won't break the point of the hybrid settings, though?

The main point of hybrid settings is lighting=0, which turns everything into non-glossy/shiny tone and turns off shadows. Plus minimized medium settings.

If you want to have Ultra settings without shiny effect, just apply Ultra and then add lighting=0 to your variables

hm, ok ill give it a look-see, thanks!

edit: damnit, now the ground is purple lol
edit2: deleting cache stuff fixed it, all good now.

PS: which setting should I tweak to at least get some basic shadows back? I like the much cleaner look, but no shadows at all is creeping me out a bit o_O

why would you lower your bitrate?

It helps for weaker computers and it doesn't have a huge visual effect on gameplay.

But for some users it causes some problems. So it depends on PC. So experiment with it

Thats just stupid. Perfect is everything on High or Ultra. Only newbies lower the details. You don't play better because you lower the details /facepalm


Its not. What about people with bad pc's ??
even with everything low i got less then 30fps for team games


That's mostly due to CPU though, and AFAIK there's nothing you can do to improve this if you have physics off, reflections off, effects low already - you can literally use low or ultra shaders and get the same FPS unless you have a bad GPU

I don't think it helps even for weaker computers, makes no sense. unless you have a 16 bit processor but in this case it wouldn't run starcraft anyway lol

then its probably the bitrate of the communication between the Video Card and the Northbridge, not the processor like I thought. that would make sense to me.

you understand bitrate changes colors from 32bit to 16bit colors?

so its not what I thought, cause even if it was the video card bitrate it would make no sense to me, tbh lol
then yeah, this is less information going throu the processor and video card
thanks for clearing this up
