Actually many of the animations load on demand, so simply going into a custom game will not help. This preloader is a great way to ensure everything gets loaded. I also find it pretty funny that the map description gets censored if you have the mature language filter turned on .


i loaded up a game of starcraft on both my pc and my laptop.

laptop:

GTX 260M
i7-720
4gb RAM
Alienware MOBO

pc:

(SLI) 3 GTX 560 Ti 448 (2gb)
i7-3770K
16gb RAM
Z77

difference:

pc
1st game = no stutter ever, no less than 120 fps during 200/200 engagements
2nd game = the same
after preloader = the same

laptop
1st game = long load time, random stutter throughout whole game, annoying low fps
2nd game = no issues at all
/quit game, launched again/
1st game = random stutter again
-after preloader = no issues at all

conclusion: preloader custom =/= melee custom for me personally.

I've been experiencing slight lag whenever one of my units died, hopefully this will fix the problem. Great idea and thanks!

You can't open the replay for the EU. Probably because you don't have the mod.

I can't open it either on the EU server. What mod do you mean?

Oh interesting, you need the map in order to load the replay. I generated my own replay with my US account and then relocalised to EU and the replay plays fine. I guess you need to have the US map downloaded to run it.

Sounds great, I have been having lag spikes due to this problem from time to time. Not really important but sometimes if it's the final battle in the game and you need to micro perfectly, you can't afford lag, especially in tournaments.

Though I would like the map uploaded to EU, running a replay each time can be uncomfortable.

I'm not sure to get what it does : you "play" this map before a real game and you'll have laess lags?
It's good to be back

Pretty much yeah.

Every time you do something new like building a new unit starcraft 2 takes some processing power from the computer. For some PCs, this causes a slight stutter. Afterwards, even if you go into a new game, SC2 doesnt need to load to unit in another time, it stays loaded until you close down starcraft again. This map loads in all the units/effects at once.

And yeah I would really appreciate this map on EU as well !

I've made one myself last week which loads all deaths and all ability effects ingame (via using them).
I preplaced a lot of stuff, made it attack, use abilities and killed every unit/building with all used death effects.
How does your loader work?

This patch simply made me unable to play the game, if someone would add it on EU or provide the map I would be thankful!

This makes such a huge difference-- thanks so much! Hopefully in their next patch that fixes problems caused in 1.5 Blizz will address this, but if not, I'm glad this is around.

Dear jnkw;

First, I just want to say that you are awesome.

Second, I would like to know if you would possibly be interested in having a few (at least 3) babies with me.

Thirdly, I just want to say thank you for this map. I might be able to ladder now without breaking any of my peripherals.


Last night I was doing an immortal sentry all in and as I was moving out, the game froze before I could ff around my army and a couple banelings blew up all my sentries. I almost broke my hand.

So lastly, I want to thank you for possibly saving me money on future medical bills. I haven't tried this yet, but from the posts above, it looks promising.


THANK YOU<3

I am in touch with someone who may be able to upload the map to EU on my behalf since I don't have an EU account. Stay tuned for updates.
