This fixed my purple ground issue too ^^

But I could now test it, and my computer can't handle these settings Goes down to 20 fps.

This makes everything super smooth and clean. I do have more trouble spotting Widow Mines and Force Fields are a little harder to see than the higher graphic settings

Any screens of burrowed widow mines or cloaked units?
Can we help spread the word and create pressure to get Rob Pardo to replace Browder as head of Sc2? Pardo led the team for broodwar, frozen throne, and wow/BC. We need to make this a thing before LotV development starts. Think about it.

Hardly, it's not a 3rd person program, its just modifying graphic settings, you're just doing it via the variables.txt instead of ingame options.

So what changed that this works again?

We with JaKaTaK found special parameter that never exists in variables.txt - lighting=0.

And then we optimized low settings to these Hybrid ones, taking some stuff from Mediums, like force fields or creep.

Any screens of burrowed widow mines or cloaked units?

They are same as on Medium settings.

I do have more trouble spotting Widow Mines and Force Fields are a little harder to see than the higher graphic settings

On hybrid settings or on low?

You know that low-shaders shutting down entire Hybrid settings?

harder to see than what?

edit: @master of dalk
you're almost at 1337 posts. Make sure your 1337th is mad 1337 yo!

Sorry, harder to see than the standard Medium Shaders + Low Textures setup that people use to see cloaked units better.


I am fairly sure that as far as cloaked units go it's the same as med shaders low textures. Screen caps?

I'm not sure I'll find something better.

The only thing you can try - turn everything to standard Medium and then add to variables next line

lighting=0

It will be similar to the Hybrid settings, but with some extra stuff and some differences.

by clear cache, do you mean delete contents of folder? So, delete the folders Maps and Versions?? Looks great, but sorta laggy when new stuff shows up so far.

@Existor do I just add lighting=0 or do I change a line that's already in my variables since I don't see any line that just says lighting.

Since Hots SC2 became a very demanding game.

I have a decent rig (i5 3450, Hd7850) and can run above 60fps only on low and medium quality (the physics stuff I always put on max)

Above 60fps where?

On low i have plenty of performance at start of game:
[image loading]

And on max, it's usually like in the 300's. Hard to believe i have 5x the FPS you have on medium while i'm on max? (with a 770)

I'm only GPU limited at the start of game, though below 60 is a rarity. Reflections is terrible for performance though and effects and physics both have the potential to cut your FPS in half if you're not careful with them. That's not on the GPU, though - and they only prove to be a problem when dealing with lots of units

I'm gonna try a few settings here, ty!

Before I try this, I'd like to try Medium settings the way some pros apparently opt to go. I presume they tweak some things. Such as Physics to Off and Terrain to Low. And Textures on Low for make cloak more visible?

What about Effects, is there a reason not to also put that on Low?

And what about Post-Processing? Is that only applied to cinematics or does it do something in gameplay?

Thanks very much.

Textures on low may give you alternatelowtextures. They require less memory, because those alternate textures are just smaller texture files in the game resources.

And what about Post-Processing? Is that only applied to cinematics or does it do something in gameplay?

Post-processing haven't been noticeable during tests. So we turned it off in Hybrid settings.

What about Effects, is there a reason not to also put that on Low?

In Hybrid settings we took some options from medium Effects, such as special effects for Mothership Core building animation, ground holes for static burrowed units, but this also adds not so distracting effects for blink/warping animation, also for minerals when they're in mining process.

I tried Medium and it killed my framerate. Playing with minimum specs equipment. So since that's not an option, I'll be using Hybrid 2.0 or going back to Low if Hybrid lowers my fps too much.
