It does work in windowed fullscreen. It's weird that it works only for fullscreens for you. Are you sure you did everything in the correct order ? (Put these options before making any changes in the variable. That includes the windowed fullscreen)

is there any possibility that battle.net updates/patches might change the variables file? I remember this happened way back with the old hybrid settings

Yes, tbh i thought that was normal, since hots im only able to use hybrid settings in fullscreen...

In what way it doesn't work? You can't edit variables? It resets settings?

Sorry, my fault.
I didn't respect the first two steps
1. Set Graphic Settings to Low.
2. Set Shaders to Medium.

It could not work.

Excellent work btw, some maps are so much brighter (as invender) now it is a real pleasure to play on.
Thanks a lot for this tool

I don't think these settings work anymore with the new update, or I'm just doing something wrong?

No dice, it just deletes everything when you start the game, I don't touch options either. Is it still working for you Existor?

Dunno about switching to low graphics (shouldnt be really happening) but brightness difference may be related to monitor/graphics card/other program settings. I got the same issue. I'm using flux and it overrides any brightness setting other games/programms use when in window mode.
Less is more.

I can't get the blob shadows to work. Followed the guide perfectly and didn't touch options afterwards - I still have 3D unit shadows. Have recent patches prevented this from changing?

Also, do I need to edit the variables.txt every time I launch the game?

So I have been wraping my head around revamping my old hybrid medium settings and i occured something weird.

Quick PC overviews:Both benchamrks were done on 1080p 144hz 24" Screen
PC1: i7-6700k, 16GB DDR4 2133mhz, GTX Titan X, SC2 on: SSD SAMSUMG EVO 850
PC2: i7-6700, 16GB DDR4 2133mhz, GTX 970, SC2 on: SSD SAMSUMG EVO 850

If I put everything except sharders on medium fps is usually around 250(PC1) 160(PC2)
If i put medium preset which puts bunch of settings on medium or high, fps are the same o.o

NOW:

If i apply hybrid settings to settings in case one, FPS jumps from 250 to 400(via fraps since its out of SC2 limit) and from 160 to 230 O.o
BUT! If I apply this settings on the settings from second case, fps goes down to 130 and drops below 40 in fights.

My case is there is something weird with shadows in StarCraft since it looks like they eat over 100fps if they are visible on the maps.

Anyone else occured same thing?

I'm having trouble reverting the settings back to normal

I'm trying to play the game in ultra in factory settings. I can't find Lighting=0 in the variable text to delete it.

Just delete the variable.txt file and restart, then set to ultra and restart.

I've got an issue with Galactic Process map, all the areas that are voids/dead areas (like behind the natural) are a plain red colour.

I've tried deleting the variables.txt and restarting but no luck
