However, doing so causes the visibility of forcefields to become much less obvious as seen from the pictures. low ![[image loading]](http://i51.tinypic.com/i1jq0g.jpg) med ![[image loading]](http://i52.tinypic.com/2vk1206.jpg) I was wondering if it was possible to edit the variable.txt file in the starcraft 2 folder located in my documents to improve the way the graphics of spells such as forcefields are rendered? | ||

simplifiedCloaking=0 simplifiedShaders=0 With Shaders set to Low and the above change made to Variables.txt, the result looks like this: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/bT5qr.jpg) For comparison, plain Low shaders setting: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/tFOxN.jpg) And Medium shaders: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/OjLor.jpg) (In the screenshots above, all other settings are on lowest, except Textures and Models on High) Edit: I should point out that it works with low-detail models as well. Here's simplifiedShaders=0 with both Textures and Models set to Low: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/2AaRC.jpg) | ||

I have a question though, will this compromise any other visual aspects of the game? What else will change with the editing of the Variables file? | ||

It was like i couldn't quite make out where the FF started and where it stopped, so it was hard to place them. I have a question though, will this compromise any other visual aspects of the game? What else will change with the editing of the Variables file? It's actually similar with shadows. You can actually completely disable shadows in the variables.txt but it's not available from the settings menu. Even on the lowest possible settings (from the menus) there will still be shadows under the units. I thought this was because blizzard didn't want people on the lowest settings to be at a disadvantage since you can see flying unit's shadows just outside of your vision range sometimes. | ||
