which one of these settings is responsible for displaying force fields or scanner sweeps in game? because if the settings are set to low, force fields can hardly be dstinguished on the map o_O

btw: really nice guide. i don't have a beta account but with my rig i'm somwhere in between good and evil so this is exactly what i need to get optimized settings.

thanks!


As far as I know, you have to set the shaders higher, at least to medium or something.
Science. It works bitches!

I play on my laptop at 100% lowest settings everywhere. I've tried putting it on medium and it works fps wise but the problem is there is a delay on the mouse i.e. when you make a box for example with your mouse, theres a little delay. Do you know what causes this?


Likely an issue with your drivers and/or video card. Look around to see if others are having similar issues on the same hardware.
Bronze skipping straight to Diamond in 40 games retail release. Bnet 2.0 ladder really takes it's sweet time to think about that league placement.

So I just downloaded the patch and it seems that some of the Variables in your .txt file were removed and/or renamed?

Not sure how to remove shadows anymore.

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with my computer? I have a sufficient setup computer with these specs:
3.2 dual core intel
2.5gb of ram ddr2
ATI 4670 vid card

The default settings is set to high for everything, but when i play i get like 40 fps and usually 5-10 fps when things start getting outta hand (more buildings/pumping units/battles). It's only playable on low settings. Also, earlier it said my computer was running low on virtual memory which i just tried doubling which should work (8gb of virtual ram from 4gb). Anyone know why my computer is running horrible even on this boosting fps guide?

hummm did anything significant change with patch 9?
performance is down the gutter...
yes, i do have a very shitty radeon x550 (what... my real one melted recently...) but i used to get "fluent" 20-30frames before patch 9.

but now, showfps insists it is giving me ~30fps but the game is unplayable, more like 5-10 fps

what changed and what can i do about it
rock is fine.. paper could need a buff, but scissors have to be nerfed

Changing unit portraits from 2D to Off nearly doubled my fps. Thanks a lot.



Hmm, how can I set portrait to off? I have only 2D or 3D option.

Thanks..



Nvm this, I made it. Game is running now in 50-60 fps area, only problem is that it sometimes "stall" for about 2-3 seconds and fps drop to 3-10..

Anyone know why is that?

Thanks.


Can you help a fellow teamliquidian? I only have 2D and 3D as options, and I have no clue how to put it to Off

Sorry for not updating this with anything i found, i had major major MAJOR computer issues that caused me to reformat(Mother board battery plastic that holds it in broke, so it reset bios, also messing with windows, causing it to lock because of the 30 days because i have a fake windows but i got it all sorted out again)

I am reinstalling SC2 right now.

Alright, so far with patch 9 i cannot turn off portraits. And yes, i am also experiencing a performance hit, i am guessing to all the new content and some optimization issues added with new animations and what not.

After i get SC2 back installed, ill see if i can mess with some other settings and things to improve fps in the new patch.

Is "frameratecap=X" bugged for anyone else? For me it doesn't work to set it between 50-100.

If I set it to any number between 50 and 100, such as 75, it will still lock the FPS in game to 50. If I set it to between 100-200, it locks the FPS to 100. If set it to 200, then it locks the FPS to 120.

If I set it to 0 I do get the full fps however (but then the GFX card gets a bit too hot for my liking).
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

Awesome guide, thanks. Turning off shadows/unit portraits is fantastic. Don't miss them one bit, and now my FPS never drops below 55ish.
Im tired of following my dreams, man. Im just going to ask them where theyre going and hook up with them later. -mh

Yea it's pretty weird, I set it to 100 and it caps it at 65.
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!
