    Hello,

    I am relatively new to the forum so sorry if this thread is a repeat.

    Are there any useful plug-ins for AlienFX? Something along the lines of APM monitoring for sc2 or performance monitoring. Really I am having a hard time to find use for this feature although it seems like something with a lot of potential.

    Thank you,

    timurStas

    I don't believe there is, there are very few games that alienfx does anything in. Here is a thread for it (no mention of SC2 working):
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/465100-games-support-alienfx.html

    Here is a thread of a user giving a link for alienfx in SC2 (i take no responsibility, use at your own risk), but no one confirmed whether it worked:
    AlienFX and Starcraft - Forums - StarCraft II

    A few people have posted around on other forums of having tried with no success. As I don't play SC2, nor have I ever used alienfx lighting in any game (too much flashing), I can't comment through experience.
