Weird, but it changed my desktop colors and chrome colors... uhh lol

How starcraft 2 settings may change the colors of entire windows? How it's possible? It sounds like "My StarCraft 2 formatted my hard drive"
------------------------------

I found it, for some reasons it change my color settings from 32 bits to 16 bits. I had to change it back but took me a while to figure it...

Yes

Add lighting=0 to your variables.txt
Change your Shaders to High or above.

Ok i think i find fix to background be black or pink.

you need to delete 2 folders (Cache,shaders30988)
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II\Maps
C:\ProgramData\Blizzard Entertainment\StarCraft II\Versions

after that turn on sc2 and load map and check if it helps you. If not you need to do it again and again until it work but sometimes your background can be black, pink or black+pink dont worry. It helps me after 5 delete so be patient

I did this as well and it worked for me.

Also, if you're ever not comfortable or sure about deleting a folder used by a program, just change the name (I append "-OLD" to mine), that way you can restore it if you'd like.

Good idea. What would be the best method for collecting performance data?

Edit: Nevermind, everything is working perfectly. Thanks so much for your guys work Existor and Jakatak. I can't thank you guys enough. When it comes to competitive gaming I am very OCD about the settings or else I won't bother playing until I get everything perfect and optimized for the clearest advantage!

I guess I am lucky as I don't have any problems with anything. Everything looks freaking amazing and is sooo much easier to play.

lightning=0 is awesome as the shiny effect is terrible. Especially when playing against/as a zerg.

Bugs that are during game, can be fixed by doing steps from the end of 1st post.

What about bugs with login/menu screens - no, the best way just start quicker your game or use Planets backgrounds, because they are less corrupted by no-lighting mode, than Kerrigan.

weird question, but is it possible to change the green rings around buildings and units to the ones used with medium effects settings? the positioning of it is bothering me haha.

thank you!

Hybrid settings already use rings around units from medium effects.

I tested it out and for some reason I was getting lag spikes in game. The odd thing is I can run the game maxed @ 1440 with no lag what so ever, so something about these hybrid settings is not working well with my system.

didnt sound like the bugs at the bottom of the first post exactly.

Seems like Hybrid settings require refreshed cache, because they use different lighting. It's only my assumption, so try the best way - do all the steps from the end of 1st post. They already helped for some players

Good idea. What would be the best method for collecting performance data?

for a start the pre loader seems to be very consistent after the first run. but dont think it pushes the cpu too hard because of the low unit count

would love to see a benchmark map being made were there will be a ton of units on the screen like archons and such,
even mixing air and ground units because of the overlapping shadows,

sadly i have no idea on how to make maps :/

It made my average fps drop from ~23fps to about ~10fps in the early game

Computer is too shitty. :/

We could get a stock replay of a sudden death desert strike game. That shit is demanding for sure.

You just have to install it properly to not get fps drops. I was getting like 120~ish fps at one point which is really low for my system. All you have to do is install it again. After I installed it again I get a constant 200+fps. Things really get buggy if you change ANY settings after applying the hybrid settings as pointed out in the first post, so make sure you don't need to change anything before applying or you will have to install it again.

Everything is working very good so far and I recommend everyone to use it.
