What's the variable setting to change observer mode to 'Default'? I've currently made my Variables.txt read-only, but I don't want to risk it by making it writable.

It just "freezes" variables with settings thet they had at the moment

So i'm having an issue were i dont get blob-shadows at all. I haven't gone into game settings but straight into a custom map and also applied Hybrid settings again after not getting it the first time. But that didn't help. I've also tried to change "GraphicsOptionShadowQuality" between 0,1 and 2 but i still don't get the blob-shadows.

Are you sure that after installing hybrid settings you don't press OK buton in the game settings?

You should keep in mind next things:

- all the variables modifying must be done when game is closed
- you must be sure that you did Ctrl-S (save changes)
- you must be sure that you don't press OK button in game settings, (even when you don't change anything)

Okay now i got it working. But i followed all the steps above before. What i did now was i also closed the Battle.net client and then run it as admin and now i get blob-shadows. Easy soloution i guess.

Never thought that this can be a solution. I mean I can't understand how it can correlate with graphic settings. But if it works, then why not

I get a ton of errors and of freezes on certain maps while my pc is capable of runnig sc2 on max settings at about 60 fps.

I appreciate you guys trying to revive hybrid settings but so far this looks like a failure to me =/

If you read till the end, you can notice in 1st post many instructions to solve many problems. Clear cache, use preloader, update video drivers, etc

Did you anything from that?

"little better" is different term for different players For some it means more clear and less sharp, for some it means more detalized.

Specify what you mean under it.

Every detail is OK for me, i just want back the "original medium" detailed terrain textures. And my problem in this context is the Variables.txt

Just remove lighting=0 ("core hybrid parameter") and use ingame options to set medium textures and medium settings. Whats the problem?

OK. From the beginning again! The Hybrid 2.0 settings all good for me (unit models, envirement, effects..etc). Expect the ground, so the terrain texure. I want to set back ONLY the origi medium detailed TERRAIN TEXTURE. And i don't know, where is the refers line in the Variable.txt. So in summary, this is my problem ^^

There are some variants of "original medium textures":

• alternatelowtextures=1 - ground textures from low settings. They are sharp. Currently turned on in hybrid settings

• alternatelowtextures=0 - blurred ground textures (if textures in game settings are set to LOW), which were before alternatelowtextures were introduced. They are not sharp and for some players it's easier to play on these textures. For example DIMAGA is playing with turned off alternate low textures.

• Texture details (in game options) - low / medium / high / ultra - standard texture settings.


So I don;t fully understand what you want, but probably alternatelowtextures parameter is your variant. Try to edit it to get different settings.

Whenever I play with these settings, my vipers are bright pink but no other unit is and the ground isn't. Does anyone know a fix for this?
