EPTAlso, kind of a stupid question because I haven't tried it but what's the difference between Peep Mode and Commentator Mode?

EDIT: Seems like Ohana is playable now. I don't think it's specific maps but some other condition that is causing the lag because I'm pretty sure Daybreak has been fine since 1.5.2 but it was lagging when I just published it. Strange stuff. | ||

I've found out that at least in a few cases if the same people try to play the map a second time the lag isn't there, so it might be that the first time around loading the assets is causing the lag. It's a bit ugly of an work-around, but maybe you could mention this in the loading screen + map description? I definitely don't think you should retire the map as it's by far the best observer map available and people will keep playing it so long as it's up. | ||

FYI today I tried several things, including turning very significant portions of triggers. The lag persisted. My suspicion is that the problem has to do with something like a specific data change I've made or something like that...nearly impossible to test since it doesn't lag on my local machine. | ||

All the other 1v1 obs maps work fine, just the map of the day that doesnt. Perhaps the pets / betting / all the features it has. I thought there was going to be a patch today =/ but blizz is too lazy. This. If you are able to simply maintain the ability to select 2 players from a list of people that want to play + KOTH and see the game without lag that would be great. No other map really provides this and it would be a shame to see the community built around this die due to this terrible bug. | ||

So it doesn't seem to be related to the amount of triggers involved. Some devs have said that all maps created before 1.5.2 have some lag issues. I may need to take a standard map, save it in 1.5.2 editor, then apply all the PeepMode stuff to it and see if that works. That will take a few hours...not sure when I'll have time to do that but hopefully soon.

WC3 had these same problems with unexplained lag and long load times for maps that weren't rebuilt from scratch for a new release. It seems really strange that sc2 has these issues too. | ||

"There is a somewhat non-intuitive solution to players suffering from extremely low frame rates in custom games since 1.5.2. If any one player quits the game during the loading screen, the lag will be fixed when the game loads. It sounds like voodoo, but it works literally 100% of the time. We have an extra account and an extra machine, so our solution is to have one machine dedicated to quitting the game during loading, and thus enjoy PeepMode and other maps lag-free." | ||

Talk about a redneck solution, haha. | ||

..it's hard to convince a lobby full of strangers that someone has to leave during the load screen to fix the lag  | ||
