Hey I was just wondering, is there some way I could enlarge minimap pixels? Like I am not really good at noticing a very little minimap square that means of scouting SCV, worker, probe or so. I belive it’s about 1x1 pixels. I tried a lot of stuff : using a dark minimap, combine that with all colours but it’s still not enough. I can’t really concentrate all my attention on it because I should be doing macro and micro. Still I am able to pay a decent part of my attention to minimap to control the map and predict the enemy engages or scouts but it’s not a big worth if I can’t really see a small pixels. So there’s the problem I need to solve : how to enlarge the minimap pixels? Like, make twice larger already would be a perfect thing and I don’t know why Blizzard still didn’t do that. Even DOTA 2 in which minimap control is not the one of the main part of the game unlike StarCraft 2, has this option. There’s an option in BNet in SC2 options :“additional command line arguments” I googled a lot about that but couldn’t find any solution.
Please help.
I think sc2 support 2560x1440 by now, or you can buy larger monitor, or you could use lower resolution and scale image to fullscreen in nvidia control panel, but you would lose a lot of fov and it would be blurry. Maybe try switching colors and increase in gameplay menu color saturation ! Or brightness, if your map is dark increase black levels in your monitor OSD, or crank brightness in game or in your drivers.
Also you can try click on sc2 icon and change high dpi setting and set scalling by application. Or you can try to find monitor with lower pixel spacing, but usually gaming monitors with tn panels have it high.
Litterally cannot play when my laptop is not near a monitor because on a 15" screen cannot see clearly/quickly enough incoming drops etc… huge disadvantage, unplayable at my rank i need to see those drops!
