Half the time I see on the mini map that something is being attacked, and I save it, and go back to injecting or whatever...and then a few seconds later I finally get that warning message for being under attack. Is everyone's game like this? I posted this in the Bnet forums and got literally zero response so I hope someone knows what I'm talking about here or can help me out. | ||

Sometimes the under attack message is also delayed. Don't know the reason. Probably theres an ongoing sound is played just how like if i click a marine then immedietely switch to lets say a marauder, the marauder's respond isn't heard. | ||

Actually, most good players usually don't use these notifications. It's usually the noobs who need the notifications to tell them what is happening on the minimap. | ||

The problem is around since beta. I have it too and I think everyone has it. If only some have the problem, then it should be immediately looked at. Also it is not only the "We are under attack" message. A lot of the alerts are delayed more or less. I personally made a post in bnet forums about it and it got buried under the nerf voidrays/marauder/roach/*insert sc2 unit here* topics and their respective flame. Then I thought that's not the way to provide feedback (through bnet forum) and I've sent an email to their tech support. Never got an answer or anything. I don't know if they are aware of it, if they plan to fix it or if they consider it to "work as intended". I also don't know a good way to provide feedback to blizzard, only thing that worked so far is flame and spam on the forum. But then again that's not quite nice. | ||

This results in games where I like lose all the zerglings that are working over the rocks on blistering sands to a cannon because there were no you are under attack messages to tell me it was time to remove them. At first I was second guessing myself, but I can tell it is happening because from my point of view in the replay it all happens the exact same way. If anyone finds a solution to this, I'd love to hear it. My sound card isn't that shitty, and even if it were, the OS should be dealing with sound mixing, not the sound card. | ||

Don't know the reason. Probably theres an ongoing sound is played just how like if i click a marine then immedietely switch to lets say a marauder, the marauder's respond isn't heard. I get the 'you need to build more pylons' after the pylon has finished building all the time for the first pylon. It's more funny than annoying as you shouldn't be relying on it anyway. As for the 'probe is under attack' noise, the huge red blink exclamation mark that appears on the minimap is never delayed, so use that. | ||

not that it matter much, and I have not clue the over all percentage. Yet I know of a fair # of top player who actually practice with music only and no game sounds. Also out of the early game your unit is prob dead by the time you get your notification anyways so... again, obviously these things are helpful, but if it is desgined to be a little slow I don't have a problem with that. As long as it's fair to both sides. | ||

As long as it's fair to both sides. I'm not exactly a 'top player' but that's what I do and I don't have trouble noticing those things. The ping on the minimap is usually enough to give it away. The reason the sounds are delayed though is because if it's already playing a sound on that channel then the "You are under attack" sound will be delayed. Some of the sounds that will delay it are a building warping in, you require more minerals/gas/pylons or various other things. I'm not sure about attack sounds, but those are so short it doesn't really matter. | ||

 Actually I just remembered isn't there an option that you can edit deciding how long to wait for before the message plays? | ||

A lot of messages are queued one after the other. For example: if a "you need additional pylons" is playing, the "we're under attack" sound will play only after the previous one finishes, even though both things could've occured right after each other. If the queue becomes too long, messages may not even play. I've been nuked without a "nuclear launch detected" warning playing at all. The way it was in BW is so much better. There's a short recognizable sound right away to draw your attention and that sound is different for each type of warning, so for example you know you're under attack right away by the short pinging sound that plays. The messages themselves are short and clear(all the under attack warnings in SC2 are "our asses are being kicked") and they play right away, instead of waiting for the previous ones to finish. | ||

I mean often you will catch it on the minimap but it's easy to miss when there's a lot going on.i used to get this pretty often. i would watch my scout die and then get a delayed notice and think there were dts but it would just ping the spot where my dead scout was. | ||

Semi-on topic: The "we are under attack" audio sounds really wimpy. I'll cite zealots: Brood War: "OUR FORCES HAVE ENGAGED THE ENEMY!" SC2: "We cannot hold!!!!" Such a little priss. | ||

While I have received them, there was one game where it didn't happen for me TWICE (losing me every fucking worker, both times). The second time it said "nuclear launch detected" right as the nuke hit. That hurt. | ||

Yea I've definitely had some minimap ping lag before, but very very infrequently I think. And that the OP mentions it, I'm pretty sure my audio lags half the time, because now that I think about it, I almost always see the minimap ping before hearing the audio. | ||
