I cannot remove these settings from my pc. There is no lighting=0, and I am unable to remove them after uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Please help!

It's lightingLevel=1 now. Just delete it, and it'll reset.

Also have a problem where the game crashes on start up. Sometimes I get to the main menu, but then crashes about 10 seconds later.

Running on mac


Definitely seems to be the lighting=0 flag which is causing it. I have tried adding in all the commands except that one and the game runs fine. With the lighting=0 option, the game get to the loading screen and crashes.

Same here. But it us unplayable without it because the lighting is all glitchy.

My video card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1 GB

Looked in the ~/library/caches but didn't see anything blizzard or starcraft related.

I wondered if it was related to the variable files. There are two I think, a master and one in my account. No matter which one I add the comments to it crashes.

Any other suggestions how to get this to work?

I've been fiddling around with the settings in variables.txt but there's a lot of the settings that I'm not sure what they do exactly. Also, as we already know, some can and can't be changed depending on other dependencies.

What I wanted to know was, what's the "nicest" graphics I can have while still being able to see cloaked units easier as it is with everything low/off? Hybrid is somewhat better, but it just can't hold a candle to simple cloak. I guess the biggest loss is a bit of gloss and spec, and crappy force field & placement images before a building is started. Also, building models especially, have very soft looking textures even through I have "GraphicsOptionTextureQuality[2]=4"

I'd also love to know what "pixellight" & the various FoW options. There's one that's "fastfow" I think, which you would think would be lower quality, but who knows. FoW also has a texture option and a volume option. :/

Last question is that I need help finding the red dot of a nuke. I know I can hear the missile incoming when it gets close, but that's often to late. I play Zerg and am red/green color deficient, so it's very hard to find. I also lose the cursor during battles due to it turning a dark red when hovering over enemies. I know this isn't a txt issue, but I was wondering if it was ever brought up to Blizzard. Before they shelved SC2....

I know I'm asking to have my cake and eat it too, but it never hurts to ask.

Thanks!

Thank you so much, new to this but found the "Hybrid Settings" easy to install and functioning.
