You can't find the portraitsOff=1 because it doesn't exist. You have to input it manually it seems. I put it below the other Portrait thingy and it worked ingame. Got a small FPS increase.

I also noticed that on the contrary to what the game says, changing the game mode from Fullscreen to Windowed actually boosts my FPS. The only problem I have now is that I can't scroll ingame with my mouse. Can anybody help me with this? How to make the mouse not go "out of bounds" of the game window?

i think the shadow command also got changed to graphicoptionsshadowquality

also, anybody able to turn off the shadows entirely? setting the shadowquality to 0 made it into the blob under the unit but theres still a real time shadow being casted, any thoughts?


Try adding shadows=0, that only disables real time shadows not the blob shadows.

hmm, adding portraitsOff=1 doesn't seem to work. (I put it after portraits3d=0) It's supposed to make the portrait rectangle black right? I restarted SC2 after saving the text file.

also, putting GraphicsOptionPortraits on 0 actually decreases my FPS I think. It's standard on 1 even at everything lowest in option settings.

Close SC2. Edit. Save. Open SC2.

The game saves current settings on exit, so if you close SC2 after saving changes the changes will be overwritten.

Even if i set
shadows=0
softshadows=0
GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=0

there are still shadow under the units, and no, its not getting overwritten.

Sorry for bumping old thread

I did all what OP recommended and so far so good BUT i just played 1st game with it and had some terrible freezes (like FPS 0 for 5 seconds ) at the beginning of the game mostly ,it happened at least 3 times.

Is this working for you on the full game or are you running the beta client?

Hello, I play sc2 on a pretty bad laptop. In order to be able to play with decent fps, I have changed the following variable in my variables.txt file
I changed
TerrainTextureSize=480
to
TerrainTextureSize=6

Before the patch preparing hots to legacy, my gameplay graphics looked like this:
[image loading]

After the Patch, my gameplay graphics now look quasi normal with small patches of low quality squares, (as if TextureSize was never changed to 480). Also, these patches disappear and are replaced with normal quality textures with time.

[image loading]

In the above image, the yellow high-lighted area are the squares as I wish for them to appear, while the red-highlighted area are squares that are not low enough in quality.

Given sufficient time, the blurred squares (the type I want all squares to be) are replaced by normal ones, as seen in the image below.

[image loading]

My question: is there anything that I can change to make it so that my Terrain Texture Size actually effects, and effects permanently every single square block on my map?
