Improved custom screen resolution setting - no window mode switch is needed, no middle mouse button is needed, just set "width" and "height" in settings.txt in this utility, that's it. Switching to Windows via Alt+Tab occasionally froze the application, it shouldn't happen anymore. Multithreaded mode sometimes caused huge memory consumption when you switched to Windows via Alt+Tabįixed crash at startup, game exit, device lost event (thank you very much for sending me the debug log files, I wouldn't fix it without it!). Improved FPS by reducing vertex processingįixed startup crash caused by missing DLL (thank you very much for sending me the screenshots, I wouldn't fix it without it!)

Now the game looks like a crap, but you can also play it on a piece of crap! LowSpec 1.6 Patch Notes
The low spec experience install#
I don’t want to install any crap! You don’t have to! The whole utility is just 182KB big, you can extract it anywhere you want and if you don’t like it, just delete it! That’s it! The only way to break the utility would be, if the game significantly reworks the renderer, like switching to DX12 or Vulkan. The DirectX is always the same on all the PCs. The utility really doesn’t do anything else than communicates with the DirectX library. Will this work with the next game patch? Yes it will. The utility doesn’t even give you any game play advantage for cheating.

Is this allowed? Modifying software in general is illegal, but this utility does NOT modify any Blizzard software nor any assets, only communicates with the DirectX. Symantec warns about potential threat, while AVG and Nod32 are ok with it). Because of this process, some antivirus programs might complain (e.g. My utility connects the game the same way as FRAPS and then just tells the DirectX to decrease the quality and/or to distribute the work over multiple cores. When FRAPS connects to your game, it searches the DirectX library in your running game process and tells the DirectX to capture the last frame of your game and displays the additional fps info. Is this some kind of hacking? Well, technically yes, but it doesn’t go any further than any your video recording program similar to FRAPS. “0.5 Texture quality” means that the texture mip-map level is biased by 5 levels and also switching to faster point filtering, while “1.0 Texture quality” means there is no mip-map level bias (therefore original texture quality) and it also uses original filtering. However, it’s not perfect, as you can see some holes on Azmodan model. Fortunately I found a decimation algorithm that can reduce all the geometry with a nice quality on the background thread almost instantly, so it doesn’t even need file caching. This is because HOTS doesn’t optimize the characters geometry for the game, but uses the same characters as for the menu and therefore all the characters have way more polygons than necessary. “0.15 Geometry quality” means that the game renders only 15% triangles of the original geometry, which is enormous reduction, while you can still clearly recognize all the characters. Switching between singlethreaded/multithreaded rendering brings a huge speed up (my laptop gets 15-25% increase) with no visual quality los, but currently this works only on some integrated Intel graphics cards (you can try your luck with any graphics card, it will be probably just slower). There are many obvious bottlenecks like high poly models and high resolutions, which decreasing directly improves the performance, but degrades also the visual quality.

For this reason I created a utility that improves the performance of the game and you can download it here.

Since last year HOTS stopped supporting weaker PC configurations and some people were unable to play the game.
