AKA The black minimap of doom
Does anyone have that same problem??
I dont know if you can see in my replay, but I dont see my minimap :/
that was my 3rd match, and I didnt have that problem the first 2 matches. Strange.
http://www.sc2rc.com/index.php/replay/show/6221
sc2rc is having problems because it cant recognize 3v3 and 4v4,... and that replay was a 1v1 btw. strange...
|
Happened to me my 3rd and 4th match. I lost both games, but the others where I didnt have a blacked out mini map I won.
|
Bnet2 is having lots of technical problem (not talking about the lag). Fortunately I didnt quit and won that game :3
|
Same here, I thought maybe it was a new "feature"...
So far the problem is only during replays, so maybe it's to help players protect their strategies a little better?
|
I had this problem too. I won my game but still had a black minimap on my replay.
|
same. It only affects my replays though, in game is fine.
|
I've had this problem in my last game too. Afterwards i restarted the game and in the replay the minimap showed just the way it is supposed to be. I hope they fix this because it is really kinda difficult to play without a map. (For example in the replay i could see that i walked right by his proxy but of course didnt notice since i had no map to see it on and i wasnt watching my scout during those seconds)
|
Blizzard thought that the minimap is for no-skill noobs.
|
yup, i have this problem. persistant in my replays, and happens in some games occasionally as well
|
Just finished a 4v4 and I couldn't view the minimap on the replay, but my friend could. Both of us are on Windowed (Fullscreen) on Windows 7 64-bit
|

|
So... It seems random. Some players can, some not. Sometimes it does it for the same player, and then works again. And then it might be in ladder, replays, or anything else.
I was sad about infested terran being on overseer and costing 125 energy instead of 25... and now this :/
It is not the same bug as you said. If I saw that thread before posting, I would gladly post it there if the OP updated his post for everyone to see all bugs.
|
just happened to me in a 2v2 game. It's been in every replay I've viewed so far though.
|
Same problem - once it happens once (either in game or during a replay) it stays. I have to restart to get rid of it.
|
Yea i had that is was fucking terrible, the minimap doesn't even function properly when clicked. Happened to me on the 5th placement match (and it helped me lose ). Its also happening on my replays, but not on custom maps (ums). Curse of the minimap :/
|
lol why do people feel the need to say "i still won"
|
Not only do I get a Black screen of death, I've also been getting lag the last 3 games and being dropped. I think its safe to get back on the playstation for the rest of the night. Hope it gets better for everyone 
Here is beta right now

Have you tried playing without minimap? and with a buggy minimap that doesnt even jump to where you click? You have to manually scroll over to your opponent base.
|
It happened to me my first placement match and never again I made a thread that was subsequently closed because I was yelling...
|
I had it in only one game. I've also had the game act like I dc'd but not show the 'waiting for' window, just stops everything and lets me keep moving around the map and clicking shit, but nothing happens. The internet conn is fine, and when I end task to get out of the hung SC I dont take a loss >.>
Only reason I'm in Diamond now lols.
|
This just happened to me. I played 3 4v4 games and it was fine, but in my 1v1 game there was no minimap which made it VERY hard to try to send units around the map as I had to use my mouse to scroll over to the other player's base. I was in the bottom left in blistering sands and if I clicked to the top right it would send me back to my base :\
|
It happens to me all the time also, i simply CANT watch a replay with a working minimap and ingame works half the time, whorst part is when i click on the black minimap to direct on myself it drags me waaaay down in the corner of the map making it impossible to see OR use to minimap at all.
p.s; i made a map on US called Tyranny, a 2player melee map, go check it out and tell me what you think! thanks
|
I think the problem is with Starcraft and not anything you guys are doing. I can see the minimaps just fine on previous versions of Starcraft, just not on the newer version's replays.
|
I can see the minimap in game, but it's always black in replays.
|
yea, on my 3rd game had the same problem...then all my replays now have black minimap screen...
|
Don't alt tab when loading
Replay black map seems to be unavoidable though...

I agree with Fiel, I didn't do anything strange like alt-tabbing when loading For now, it feels very random.
|
this is happening to all my replays from patch 13
|
This is like hardcore mode. Hope bnet fixes these little bugs fast.
|
Wow, just played the most frustrating game I've ever played. I didn't play all weekend so I've been playing people on a lower skill level than me and I get into this match without a minimap. I'm trying to do Blink micro while scrolling across the map to find my Stalkers. I thought it would be finally over once I got my shrine up, but then he dropped me and targeted my shrine right before I finished as I helplessly tried to select my army and give them minimap commands. ;_;
Blizzard please fix now!!
|
This just happened to me. Had never happened during a game before. Made playing very difficult, won in a base race though.
|
Try changing it to Fullscreen(windowed mode) and then ALT+tabbing out of game then opening it up again. it fixes the black mini-map for me.
|
... what is this "fullscreen" and "windowed mode" you speak of. I think I remember knowing how to do something like that for another game I played, but it eludes me. Will try the alt- tabing if it happens again, thanks.
|
As others have already stated, it happens to me in replays. In game everything is fine.

I got this in my last placement. Not only is it completely black, but clicking on it always sends you to the same corner of the map, so it's not functional in the least.
|
Since Patch 13, I have no minimap in replays if I launch them from within SC2. But if I start the replay from outside SC2 (associate .SC2Replay files with SC2.exe or SC2Switcher), I have a minimap and it's fine.
Thankfully it has never affected me in-game so far.
|
I've had this happen in replays a few times. Never during a game though.
|
I've only encountered this in replays so far, but now I am a bit concerned about having it show up in my games as well...
But Fullscreen Windowed mode Alt-Tabbing fixes it?
|
I've had it happen in every single replay I view and if I play a game after viewing a replay it occurs in game as well
|
A friend gave me a replay and the minimap was all black
|
Wow. I just got this in a game. Makes game virtually unplayable.
|
I am just boycotting this beta until it gets fixed :D It's not fun to play anymore with all the troubles. I'm not holding it against Blizzard either, it's a beta, this is what to be expected... but not fun.

I know right. Playing without a minimap is impossible. I just got it, lost, and am super tight. I'm pretty much sore loser as it is, and when I lose something and it's not even my fault, well, that's even worse.
Whatever, I hope Blizzard get's their act together soon.
|
Happens to me often in replays, happen once in a game, it was on steps of war, I said fuck it all went 3 rax marines all in because of the disadvantage..lol
|

happened to me 3 times now in 1v1 ladder games, i lost them all i am afraid to play anymore
|
I had it in 2 games. One was a 3v3, where i just mass expanded and gave my allies resources.
And one game (1v1), my opponent could see, I couldn't but I still won :D
|
happened in my fourth placement match, I woulda been 5-0 if it weren't for it
|
It happened to me once in a game (out of maybe 11 games played so far this patch...), but I haven't watched any replays this patch so I dunno if it happens during those.
|
Happened to me just now in 1on1 placement. Never got it before. Most annoying thing is that you can't scroll or jump to a point (foes base eg) :/ Edit: Update: Had the bug in 4 of 7 games >game is uplayable for me atm ;_;
|
It there anyway around this? I'd really like to watch some replays with a minimap...
|
Just happened to me in a 1v1 ladder match. Made me lose my overlord because I didn't even realize I scouted the right base : /
|
Win XP x64, happens to me in replays and in some games :/
|
happened to my brother in a 2v2 just then. He set up a few key locations with the f keys backspace = his main and natural f5) his rally point f6) my base f7) enemy base 1 f8) enemy base 2
We were also on vent and anywhere else he needed he would quickly tell me and i would ping so he could press space to center on it.
Very very hard to handle, we did loose but it would better than just GG at the start.
|
If you open the replay without opening the game (open with...) then the mini map shows.
|
I believe this happens in any game/replay immediately after viewing the replay menu, thus all replays viewed through the client are bugged; but if you just open the replay without opening SC2 first, it isn't bugged. So if you don't want the BMMoD, avoid browsing your replay menu. If you must, just restart the client after doing so.
|
I'm stuck in platnium since my SC2 decided to gay out on me on game 5 right before my win.
|
Did any of you guys download any custom maps lately? Cause ever since I downloaded this map and played around with it in the Starcraft Editor, it started messing up my minimap.
|
This happens to me in replays too, but it happened once on a 2v2. Couldn't click the minimap while I was playing, so I had to use commandgroups for everything. That was really hard, we ended up losing.
|
had a black minimap today... was PvT on steppes of war luckily he tried to cheese me with barracks rush right in front of my base, killed that with a few zealots and then marched into his main and won w/out a map^^ but if it was a bigger map and/or longer game probably would have lost because of that
|
I get this very often. Last night I went 9 wins in a row, but on my 10th game I had no minimap. gg
|
This happened to me a few times over the last few days, not really sure why but i hope it is fixed soon makes the game really hard to play
|
Now for me, it is happens everytime I watch a replay, which is kinda lame . But not as bad as having it do that do in-game.
|
joke post one of the producers had a great idea last nite... its to make mini maps an addon.. forwhich u have to now pay to use. per game.
|
I cant watch replays due to this crap.. Horrible =(
|
Hasn't happened to me yet, but that looks painful
|
I used that program to remap my keyboard shortcuts, so I can save 8 map locations now. So when I do get the black minimap in game, I can just quickly make 8 saved map points and be able to go from there.
I watch all my replays from sc2Allin1 now, and the minimaps work fine that way, but they are all black if I run them from within the actual game.
They seriously need to get this crap fixed ASAP. I refuse to play any ladder 1v1 games until it does get fixed. I'm bad enough *with* a minimap, so I don't want to lose to people because of a minimap issue.
|
It seems to happen to me once in every three or four games or replays, not sure what the cause is but it has only been happening post Patch 13, wasn't there a topic on this already by the way?

Today I had to forfeit 4 games because I didn't want to play w/o the minimap. I now only play ladder games after restarting the client. Which is annoying, but so far I was always able to see the minimap.
|
Happens to me all the time. I was doing some scrims with my friend and had the black minimap twice. Watching the replays I had black minimaps almost every time.
|
i had the problem with black minimaps in replays. i reinstalled, and the problem was fixed. repatching took like an hour, btw.
|
That happened to me in a 2v2 game with my friend, was so ridiculous. After the game I just killed the client and restarted.
|
I actually won a game with black minimap once.. ^^
F5-F8 are your friends!!! ^^
|
I don't know if this trend is consistent with everyone else, but everytime i go into the replay menu (not necessarily viewing a replay) then go into a game, I get the black minimap. So i just try avoiding watching replays in game now and just drag replays onto the shortcut when I want to watch them.

That works for me. Thanks!
|
is there any trick to fix that for replays?
i dont have problems in normal games yet
|
i have the same problem with watching replays online, but loading them offline (drag on sc2 icon) works
