you are entitled to your opinion. but some settings are NOT arbitrary. e.g SD graphics filter changing mouse latency.

you're welcome.
i did not make this thread on a "whim". ive put in several months of work trawling through old stream vods on afreeca, tweaking settings, confirming what works and what does not =)
Thanks for doing this. I've also been keeping a short list of progamer mouse settings from Afreeca streams, but I've never come across this. For example:
Scan Windows: 5/11 DPI: 800 In-Game Sensitivity: 65% Hardware Cursor: Off Mouse Scaling: Off Resolution: 1080p Mouse: FKMini3
Light: (this has since been updated, but the gist is that his sensitivity is insanely high -- he barely moves his mouse in handcam videos) Windows: 10/11 DPI: 450 Mouse Scaling: On In-Game Sensitivity: Off Resolution: 1080p In-Game Sensitivity: Off Source: Mouse: Logitech G Pro Superlight 2 (but with these settings he was using a Logitech G Pro Wired)
Soma Windows: 6/11 DPI: 800 In-Game Sensitivity: 65% Hardware Cursor: Off Mouse Scaling: Off FKMini3

Right! To which standards are you referring? Did you mean these standards?

Do you have Starcraft: Broodwar installed? Feel free to test out some of the settings in the guide and report back with any questions, news from your own research findings, or to share alternatives to these settings with any other Starcraft: Broodwar players who might stumble upon this thread =)

Most recent info I have is from 2021: Mouse: Zowie Mico Keyboard: QSENN DT35
Anyway, sorry folks...I looked around for 6-7 hours again this morning to find the Sacsri VOD showing "in detail" the mouse "lag" changing with the SD graphics filter settings...no luck...bleh...ill try again later...not that I think it is absolutely necessary...to me it is quite a noticeable difference...however since this is kindof my own humble little contribution to the community I think it dutiful to provide accurate sources...I will keep updating the thread as time allows. gl hf =)
Hi guys, I don't know about the renderer setting + display scale 150%(it did not work for me + starcraft screen becomes blurry) + SD Filters and the others. But I'm here to share my information that I looked up on Korean community.
If you are using hardware cursor, this feature ignores game engine's framerate(FPS) and show your cursor frame as your monitor refresh rate. If you are not using this feature, your computer is using GPU register and individually draws/shows your cursor on screen/layer.
So people who did not understand my poor explanation, if your computer spec is poor like using 15 year old laptop/desktop or whatever, playing on 60hz monitor with bad graphics card, you will feel the lag
Ex) If game client is lagging(whatever the reason is, like UMS too many units) + having a FPS drop a lot = your cursor will lag as well

I can attest tankgirl's post is accurate if you want the best competitive settings. At the same time, there are a lot of pros that use their own settings. Mouse speed not being 6/11, using mouse scaling, using over 60% mouse speed so on. The only thing I can say to that is it is their own personal settings and should not be replicated. While tankgirls settings are a good starting point, and you can tweak those to create your own personal settings
This fixed many issues, thanks! I still have so many issues though that make playing BW painful.
Every time I start SC (from the battle.net launcher usually), I need to log in again from within SC. Everything is laggy, usually takes a few minutes. Once I enter my username/pw, it says "Downloading Settings". Takes a couple minutes, until saying "Download failed." Everything is laggy, takes a minute to click OK, pick a server, and get ready to search for ladder games. Usually takes like 3-4 searches - first few searches end in error (error 50:6 iirc).
Once in game, everything works perfectly, with one exception. If I open menu in-game, it usually lags for like 3-5 seconds. If I need to change latency.
Tried running b.net launcher and starcraft.exe as administrator. Tried reinstalling many, many times. Whitelisting everything starcraft in antivirus (and turning off antivirus completely). Nothing has helped, until following these instructions! Now the lag and wait times have been reduced by about half, but still very annoying. Any help with these issues is greatly appreciated
Sacsri: HD - on smooth unit turning - off shadow stacking - off pillar box - off

100%!!!

Sometimes the settings do not save properly:
1. Set windows scale to 150% in settings 2. Sign out of windows and log back in. 3. Set Starcraft.exe compatibility option DPI mode to "Application" in programfiles/starcraft/x86/starcraft.exe 4. Make sure you run starcraft in 32-bit mode. 5. Exit starcraft. 6. Finally, set compatibility mode DPI scaling to "System" (desired setting)
For me, this only works in fullscreen mode (afaik) and gpu scaling must be turned off in your ATI/AMD/Nvidia graphics settings.

Can you run dxdiag and copy/paste the first two pages here?
In Windows, select Start and enter dxdiag into the search box on the taskbar. Select dxdiag from the results.
In the tool, select Save All Information... for an easily shared format.
also try these fixes in the video. they seem to have worked for others with similar-sounding problems: + Show Spoiler +

In my experience, the SD graphics only look good if you are running at a true 4:3 resolution. It has something todo with the way the scaling is performed.
The graphics look "crisp" at 1280x960 and 1400x1050. BUT if you are running a 16 : 9 monitor resolution with pillarbox turned on, the SD graphics look "blurry" regardless of the SD graphics filtering setting.
The most striking example of this scaling issue is with Zerg which looks AMAZING at a true 4:3 resolution but look like garbage in 16 : 9 with pillarbox.
Perhaps the part-time Blizzard TeamInternJanitor Hamster looking after SC:R will do something about it...but i wouldnt hold your breath.
If you are reading this thread and if you want to setup a custom 4 : 3 resolution to replicate the above screenshots, check out Sizer. It is the tool used to setup the game as shown above. I will post an updated version of the guide that covers these settings soon.
