Are there still plans to overhaul the betting system? It'd be nice if these $1 bets weren't allowed to ruin it for not betting for 20+ minutes and trolling the other side's bets or if bet snipers joining in just before the person wins at round 4 or something getting same shares as someone who risked the chance from the beginning.

Well, I would like to improve the betting system but it's an area where I don't have much experience and several competing schemes have been suggested. I guess if I had a very clear design that I knew would work well and would actually improve things, I'd implement it. I'm not sure how to get there, though.

Hello, first of all I want to thank you for such a great map, greatest custom map ever!

I'm sorry if this has been discussed earlier but I haven't found any solutions to my problem. I used to play obs a lot before the new interface change (I think it was patch 1.5 or something), and it ran beatifuly, without lag or stutter or frame drops or anything. I run sc2 at extreme graphics with 60+ fps all the time, so I know I'm not having issues with my computer. Thing is, since the new interface changed, I'm having an issue on peepmode where it would suddenly kind of freeze, maybe not completely, like the units would start moving realllllyyy slowww for some seconds and would be totally unresponsive and then the game would try to "catch up" or resync so the units would move really really fast like incredibly fast for like 1 sec to compensate for the time they were slow and unresponsive. I'm also getting a latency on commands or keys pressed, like if I order a unit to move, it would take the unit about 1 sec or maybe even more to obey the action and move.

I'm only getting this problem in peepmode, I'm not having issues on ladder or unranked or other customs I have played so far, altough I haven't played many customs though... I'm really bummed out because it's totally unplayable for me, I don't even have to playing, I could be observing 2 ppl playing in an obs and start selecting their units or something and the issue would happen.

I already tried popular lag fixes like deleting "C:\program data\blizzard entertainment\starcraft II\ " folder and like running the unit preloader map before playing, nothing has worked for me.

I was wondering if you could give me a recommendation?

Also my internet connection is fine, I have 3 mbps download and 1 mbps upload, like I said, it worked flawlesly before the new interface, I think it was patch 1.5, I'm not too sure, and then it started having this issue. Any help would be much appreciated! thanks a lot!

gl hf gg!

Wondering if there's any way we could possibly add Fighting Spirit to the map pool since its just so different from the others it might add some variety.

Seems like you have param\value problems in your map as players reported here.

This problem occurs because of incomplete localizations. SC2 now always uses an existing locale in the map, so either keep them up to date or if you just copy every string into every locale, then just use 1 English locale and it will work fine.

I read about the bug that you're telling me about and it makes reference to people who have changed their locale for sc2, I have been using the same language/locale since I installed it and haven't changed it ever since, is there something I'm missing there? or maybe I don't quite understand what's wrong. I also don't get any error message that says param/value problem, should I be getting one if I have the problem I reported earlier?

Thx for any help.

Sorry about param/value; just forgot to localize after the last update. I'll look into expanding the map pool soon.

MinOpliS: Hmm this is the first I'm hearing about this issue specifically in PeepMode. I know that many people have had issues with slow gameplay since the last few patches. I haven't really changed much code lately so I can't really speculate as to what the issue would be in HotS. I would open a support ticket with Blizzard if you haven't already; I have a feeling it's related to widespread issues that hopefully will be addressed soon.

Thx for the answer, it didn't just happen in HotS, it actually started happening since the new menu interface update, I think it was patch 1.5.something
Well I'll try to contact blizzard and see if I get a good answer, thanks.

How do I enable 2v2? I only see the option for 1v1 or FFA when in game with a party of 4-5 people.

2v2 is available only on maps that support it. I currently do not have any 2v2 maps published for HotS; that will change in the next couple of weeks though.

I added Ohana and Boneyard (2v2) to the map pool. Boneyard is published as "2v2 Obs HotS" and if I find that players are actually playing this map, I'll swap out new 2v2 maps.

UPDATE: Several key improvements thanks to input from GameHeart creator rschutter. Main improvement: when switching between player vision, structure discovery is correctly conveyed.

I'm not sure why Red City is in the map rotation. Maybe you know the person who made it or are friends, if so that's cool, no problem. I was just thinking of a map rotation that better reflects recent changes to ladder maps, gsl maps, etc

When I saw red city I thought how cool it would be if there was New Fighting Spirit from Proleague. Currently in Proleague, the Korean Map team Team Crux remade the Brood War map Fighting Spirit for Sc2, however, they made some balance tweaks to it and called it 'NEW Fighting Spirit" in the last week or so.

The map generally is not too bad, I think its easier to manage for players of all skill levels then Red City. But I'm not sure how everyone who plays the mod would feel about that.

Otherwise I really like the mod even to this day, thanks for all the work that you do.

I can't find Red City on EU anymore, are you just making adjustments or was it removed for some other reason? Sucks that it's gone now that Red City is in the ladder mappool. Love using peepmode for training on specific maps, in fact I would be ever so grateful if there was one for every map on the ladder!

Keep up the good work!

Yeah I was having trouble updating the code in Red City for some reason and I've been so busy lately with a new job (in the videogame industry! yay!) that I haven't had time to make updates. In all likelihood, it's going to be a few weeks before I'm able to get back to making regular updates to the system, but I'll try to keep maps rotated every few days.

Can the map pool be updated to be only ladder maps & wide-spread tournament maps? Cloud Kingdom really is an awful map, and it feels like it's *always* the one being used.
