Are you one of those people who are stuck playing on the low settings? Does it bother you that Terran buildings aren't showing their decals? Is it a bit hard to differentiate cloaked units?
Well, heres a quick and simple tutorial to those few people.

So you're stuck with this:

Ugh. Let's change it up a bit. First go to Documents\Starcraft II and open the Variables text file. Next keep going down until you see the following:
simplifiedCloaking=1
simplifiedShaders=1
Just change the numbers to 0 and

Tada! Terran buldings now have decals, and cloaking units have that cool cloaking effect! It may also add little details somewhere else, such as Raynor's marine armor.

Thanks for reading this tutorial, and hope you found it helpful. :)

Note: The Variables text file has many ways to adjust the graphics. This is one of them. If you wish to alter them, do so at your own risk.
