However, when using Metal, the game is crashing on startup when the lighting=0 is added to variables.txt. | ||

As soon as I put lighting=0 into my variables.txt, I get "An unexpected fatal error occurred". Same thing happens in wine 3.1. Any idea what might cause it? Distro=Arch Linux Version=4.15.3 Try lighting=false The tutorial is old. It may be possible some of the variables changed, but I can't guarantee that it's the correct one. If it doesn't show the intended one, try to modify everything again but this time put lighting=true | ||

I'm playing T now and have been using the Hybrid settings. They seem fine, but I do have one question - which setting to change to limit/remove explosions & over the top death animations? I was watching Uthermal's stream yesterday and whenever a baneling explodes there's pretty much no visual effect of that; The battlefield remains clear, everything is super visible. Also, I'm having trouble spotting invisible units - is there anything that could help regarding this? | ||

to spot invisible units, hybrid settings are ok, you can rotate camera in case of doubt: it makes invisible units apparent as pixel blobs then you can land scan or EMP | ||

Since you play Terran I would recommend using the Orbital Command ability "Scanner Sweep" to spot invisible units. You could also make Ravens, but OCs require less tech and are therefore available earlier in the game. | ||

On some streams it just sort of disappears when it explodes; In terms of clarity it's much, much better.

Is there a way to unanimate the menu background? I know some backgrounds are actually not animated if you don't have shaders on high (or medium iirc) and similiar. So this certainly is a known performance thingy to the developers which should deliver options. I know from other games you can set such "useless" stuff to unanimated = 2d. Which makes the big difference of a mobile system crashing/security shutting off OR running actually very well. | ||

You need models on High! Since i did that its much easier too spot banshees or observers when moving of course  I dont need shout out, just send me a check  Also, check shadows and other settings for effects, when you cross over to option in graphics it will give you a little hint so you can adjust it yourself easily. | ||

Thanks For instance the plain "Griffin" or "Horner and Han" are still pictures, and let it run much better. They are only available in the start screen though (first left tab). ---------------- Also I have a bug report: (issue) The map Ulzaan (with Hybrid Settings) has some flickering-backgrounds, for instance at the first ramp, starting area, quite some of the non-walkable cliffs. Ulzan is currently in the 2vs2 Map Pool. | ||

I have not played in awhile, and would hate to shoot myself in the foot, or waste too much time trying to determine if this same clarity can be kept with better graphic textures. I find it easier then some of the streamers I have watched recently to see obs using these settings and have even watched streamers miss obs, that I believe I would not have missed using hybrid settings, however the trade off for a better viewer experience may be worth missing a few observers in my TvP. That all being said, if anyone has any experience with increases the graphics quality with the attempt to keep the main advantage of the hybrid settings ( clarity / distinction between creep/dark terrain and easier to spot burrowed / cloaked units ) I would love to know how it turned out. (ie not worth my time, or any suggestion that has worked for you) Thanks in advance, and regardless if anyone replies, I also would like to thank the OP once again for summarizing this, as this is not my first time re installing and using this guide to quickly get back the settings I was previously using. With only 6 pages in all the years its been uploaded, I would even call this a under rated tutorial for the amount of people I am sure have used it as a reference point | ||
