so.. a hundred people (if not less) has reported the issue. that still doesnt make up "a large portion" of players unless you for some reason think that the starcraft playerbase consists of around 200 people. edit: just did the math. assuming starcraft has 50,000 active players (according to that battle.net statistic thing when you log in) 100 players would make 0,2% sooooo.. apparently i was being very optimistic when i said 5% so let's assume that not every single user has reported the issue and just multiply it by 10, that'd still only be 2% edit edit: and just to make it clear, 2% is not a "large portion" edit edit edit: it might have been 500,000 and not 50,000, i honestly dont remember, eitherway it'd still be a minority. | ||

I've got acc @tlnet for many years and I only got few posts. I've never posted anything on the bnet forums, nevermind I'm playing BW and SC2 for over a decade. Better stop trolling with your subjective opinion and try to contribute for the thread. | ||

Its so harsh but so true... like 1/3 of TL community , oh maby 1/4  , dont even play Sc2 or BW but they act like pro players at forums. They blame blizzard all the time , with post like that " Its so bad.. blizzard is funny... but i didint try it yet..but it sucks.." | ||

This is a discussion about a bugfix patch. The massive lag due to loading assets mid-game is an obvious bug. Why are you so bent on arguing with someone about whether he should be bothered by a bug in a thread about bug fixes? The fact that there is a workaround that works for some people (it does not solve all the lag problems people have been reporting) doesn't mean that it's not a bug, and it certainly doesn't mean people affected by it don't have a reason to be frustrated. The fact that we've figured out some workarounds for some of the bugs isn't the same as the bugs being gone, and professional software shouldn't require its users to learn how to delete cache folders and design and run special replays or maps that force the cache to be prepopulated so that they can play. | ||

You can delete the cache by following the instructions here (http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/deleting-the-battlenet-cache-folder-pc). There is an executable (I can't find the post I saw that mentioned it) that is supposed to prepopulate your cache. You can also watch a replay like this one (http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/xrl8p/working_temporary_solution_to_15_stuttering/), which plays every animation once, to force the assets to be cached before playing a game. | ||

I see no difference, but thanks anyway. My CPU is older (Core 2 Duo), so it has nothing to do with i5/i7's stuttering. ^^ | ||

Why would you want to play the game when bugs prevent you from playing, and so you're asking on the forums for help? | ||

See the post above. Many people got higher FPS than before. | ||

Sure i get 200 some fps, which is 50+ fps from the previous patch by just looking at the start of the game, but 20 minutes in its 10... if you have the gradual FPS drop over time as more units get added, none of the suggested fixes fix it. how many lower level players honestly max as well quite often to notice a drastic decrease? as ive noticed a trend with most people complaining about the FPS drops are masters and up... | ||
