This is pretty clever. I've got a lower spec'd computer so hopefully this helps.

Sorry for the long wait. I've just uploaded a new version that addresses a number of issues. The main improvement is the addition of many missing acid, fire, and eviscerate death animations for several Terran and Zerg units.

SEA support is still in the works, stay tuned for more info on that.

This is brilliant. Well done!
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Is it possible to upload this to Chinese server? I have a Chinese account and can help with that.

By Chinese server do you mean TW or SEA? If you mean TW it's already up, if you mean SEA I have someone who will upload it for me, just waiting on them right now.

Unfortunately this kind of thing is necessary. It's too bad but very well done. Works for me. Thanks!

This is so awesome! If you want to get a good sense of how much of a difference it can make, run the preloader twice. Unless you have an amazing, ridiculous, stupid, good computer, it will be wicked laggy the first time through (as expected). The second time should run like butter. What a brilliant idea.

Awesome to just watch! Noticed a couple of things on replay...
1) One of the Ultralisk eggs in the lower-right doesn't hatch.
2) The transfusing queen doesn't get to transfuse everything she's supposed to before everything starts dying. Dunno if this matters, though?
3) A Spine Crawler roots near the top of the screen, but the Spore Crawler next to it doesn't (...and I presume the other two Spine and Spore are supposed to unburrow?)
[edit]
4) Dunno if you want to Mothership cloak all the Terran and Zerg units and buildings...? And/or Mass Recall?
5) Dunno if the Point Defense Drone produces different animations against different missiles?

I also noticed the lack of burning buildings, but I notice that you saw that. (Don't forget burning bunkers... ;3 )

After losing countless of games due to having 1-2 second spikes in big engagements this is gold for me right now. 1.5 really screwed up the game quite a bit. Thanks for this!

Awesome, awesome custom, thank you very much!

I had just played a PvZ where I almost lost because when I went to engage my opponent who had a lot of banelings, I couldn't storm, blink back, or use any micro because there was a severe two second lag spike. So after that I did some TL searching and found this. Loading the map I had a quite a big of lag with the mothership spells and such, but after loading the replay again to see if there was an improvement everything loaded perfectly with no hiccups.

Thanks again!

Not TW nor SEA, the Mainland China server, which is a separate region.

Is this still necessary after the hotfix? So you load this up after every time you restart your PC? I think I just leave mine on sleep, so I never have to run this.. unless i restart, right?

Every time you close SC2. Run the map twice in a row and see if you get less stutter the second time.


If I change my graphics settings, should I run the map again?

Can I run it while alt-tabbed to get the desired effect?


So I heard I should run it again when changing graphics, but how did alt-tab test go?

Blizzard needs to stop sucking and learn from the greatness that is TL. If dedicated fans can come up with solutions for free Blizzard employees should be able to do it for being paid.

Well at least for me i still experience some FPS issues right at the start of the game and during big battles that I didn't have before. The preloader worked well but I still have some small issues. I just blame 1.5 and my sub par laptop I play on.
