Does 1.5.2 fix the new lagitions blizzard added in 1.5?!? Game is close to unplayable from full framerate on ultra pre 1.5. Many times I've played one game and then quit cause I couldn't stand the lag. Worst part is lowering settings doesn't seem to help the lag anything.

Reconnected my SC2 to SEA region as Starter Edition, to test that variables-checker.

Well, it's true. There are no more variables editing post 1.5.2. After closing game it refreshes variables, so steps like "Change SPEC from 1 to 0" not works anymore, they just reverting back to default ingame settings

Not helps, it just replaces this file. I mean, fully replaces this file. And these custom settings (like spec for example) not works in game.

I will be glad if something that I'm talking is wrong and there are still way to edit it again, but I can't reach these settings now.

P.S. Anyway I've always played on these settings with spec=1, so it's ok for me, because I love that shiny effects on zerg buildings. But this thread probably will not work after 1.5.2

UPDATED FOR 1.5.2


1) In game options change all to low, including Textures

2) In game options change Shaders to Medium

3) In game options change Shadows to Medium

4) In game options change Models to High

5) Go to C:\Users\<your_name>\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\<numbers>\variables.txt and add next lines to the end of file:

alternateLowTextures=1
spec=0
shadowmapsize=1024
creeptrans=1
preblendedcreep=0
texQualityLevel=1

So, what you are saying is that the variables.txt located in the account/numbers directory is prioritized above the one in the Starcraft II directory, but does not get auto-reset by 1.5.2?

You already paid them your $45-60 so they have no incentive to actually implement anything anyone wants. They won't get more money from you.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

That's weird, when I get to that variable.txt file in acount/number blablabla, i get only a few lines compared to like 1 or 2 pages of variables. It just feels weird to add those new lines you mentionned the the new txt file with like only 10 lines...

It's ok, as you can see, that second variables.txt file was created for only non-graphic settings (like visible/clickable menus, sound, locale assets, etc), when first variables.txt file now is all about graphic only

They did a split into 2 files - one graphical variables.txt (in the main sc2 folder in Documents) and second is a game option file (sound, mouse, menus, health bars, etc)

Why you can't do clean reinstall? Delete everything about sc2 in registry, delete cache files from ProgramData, delete everything from your Documents about SC2, delete folder that stays after deleting sc2. It helps
