Go to /Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Library/Application Support/Blizzard/StarCraft II
and you will find the Variables.txt file that everyone is talking about.
Edit: Looks like there are some additional/missing variables in the Mac file.Last edit: 2012-07-05 16:14:29 |

Well, do you probably have lags at standart medium settings? If yes, that explains all |

Yea forcefields are really bad on low. Really wierd that blizzard hasnt done anything about that yet,
I play on low and ultra textures. I just feel like its the best. Your still able to see burrowed things, though I dont think its possible to see burrowed things on creep, but Im a zerg so that shoudnt be to much of a problem.Last edit: 2012-07-05 16:41:43 |

| it gives me big lags to, while i play normally on all medium with a few on low and one on high. Tried 2 games exact the same games, but for me medium settings runs a lot smoother. Maybe it is because i have a lot running i the background (music/youtube) |

Essentially you just need to open your own variables.txt and find the two lines
Simplifiedcloak=0
SimplifiedShaders=0
and but both to 1
That should do it. |

Uhmm they are both at 1 already. And I am playing on low and my forcefields are way less visible than on higher settings.
Edit: Everythings on low except effects and post-processing are on medium

Alright, I just played a couple games with it and I got to say that I really like it. I use it in conjunction with the "Stronger team colors mod". I makes the low settings seem a lot more smoother. It`s the mixture of high and low that I really enjoy. Easy on the eyes but not as blunt as the "everything on low"-settings.
Nice work! |

Can someone explain to me why whenever I set shaders to medium (from low) my fps drops from 60 to 30 instantly? My specs are:
16gb ram
i7-2600k at 3.4GHz
Radeon 6450 (awful)
Sounds like vertical syncing to me. Locks your frames at 60 (the refresh rate of your monitor - Hz) so they dont go above that and give you stuttering. If you're system cant handle >60, e.g. with shaders up fps might drop from 70 (vsync'd you see 60) to 50, Vsync will then cut this to half of the refresh rate of the monitor (30fps).
Nope, vsync was off. When it was enabled it did what you described but after turning it off I got around 24-36 fps with all low but shaders medium lol. Even with ultra textures i get 60+ fps but medium shaders kill it (I even tried to disable shadows through config but that didn't fix it either). Dunno, stupid computer =[.
Probably because Low -> Medium uses different shaders algorithms which are more taxing on your video card (considering it's low-end). If you want, you could try lowering your resolution at the expense of a higher shader quality (although I doubt you'd want that). |

Looks great, my fps was usually around 50-60. But with this it seems it will be 60 constantly
1 question tho, I like the simplified pylon circle better, with only the edge which show graphics and the middle isn't coloured blue.
Anyone know how to get this ? |

Do any of these parameters need to be played in fullscreen to take affect?
Can you modify resolution with the in game options without having these parameters overriden? |

Pretty sure it is the other way around, you have to change from 1 to 0. |

I know it is hard and bulky job but it would be awesome if you put some comments on which parameter changes what.
So we can modify in our needs.
Thanks for the effort.

It's really hard, because I must run SC2 double time: with turned parameter off and with with turned parameter ON, to compare, what the difference. And in many cases there can be no difference, because some parameters works only in combination with others
pylon power lags it like crazy
You really thinks it's a pylon circle? Well, I've linked to post where you can revert Pylon circle |
