I never had terribly significant stuttering issues with 1.5 (the map was largely done as a service to the community) so I can't say for sure if 1.5.3 makes a noticeable difference. If 1.5.3 really does solve all the issues, I suppose over time people will mention that the map doesn't make as much of a difference as it used to. I imagine, though, that some people might still want to use it for testing or being absolutely certain that everything is running smooth in critical situations like a tournament setting.

It should work if you alt+tab while it's running.

Would you guys be interested in making a Preloder map for WC3? Because I'm experiencing the exact same lag and stuttering problems in WC3 on my laptop.

I no longer experience any lag after 1.5.3, I assume this issue has been fixed?

Issue might have been fixed with 1.5.3 but I still think this "preloader" is useful, especially on older, slower computers, such as mine. I am going to use it Thank You jnkw!
There are no boundaries, that's the final conclusion.

Since my first game always loads slower I might as well run this over anything else (especially when casting - I hate being the last person to load into a game).

Exactly, I always have this annoying problem. First game always loads slower and then, even after 1.5.3, first fee seconds of the game are a bit... hmm slower?

Please develop a unit preloader for HOTS. Before the latest patch everything was smooth on low settings. Now the game freezes for several seconds several times. Between these freezes the game runs smoothly.

So a preloader for HOTS is really needed.

BEST EVER!!!!!

I looked at all the comments and felt necessary to add a few more.

1. Run unit preloader and quit once it's done.
2. Save the replay
3. Load the replay and watch on 8 times speed

Each time you do this it will go faster and faster. I don't know the mechanics behind this but it was suggested to me
and I noticed 100000000% less lag when running this as many times as possible.

I usually run it around 8 times.

To support more ideas for the makers I suggest they add a rewind feature just like replay. Maybe even loop features to auto do multiple runs.

As of now I just load the replay every time I run the game.

It's a no brain'er must use custom.
No one is smarter than you are
