So I created a game on a standard map (Metalopolis) and saved the replay. No problems with observer bars. Are all custom maps prevented from using the caster bars, or is this something that needs to be enabled in the custom map? Really sucks for people that are going to be casting major tournaments if it can't be turned on. | ||

I would imagine that it only works for melee | ||

Changing between Melee and Custom does not appear to make any difference to whether the features work or not either. The maps probably require some sort of update to support the new features. | ||

a) it doesn't work on custom maps; and b) it hides the minimap and we need that we can't even observe properly without a minimap, like i'd have to scroll manually from base to base? lol | ||

It doesn't make sense to keep it down all the time like you pointed out. Even if they did change it to keep the map up I am not sure it would be worth it to keep it down all the time either. It hides a bit of useful information. | ||

Also it wouldn't fix the problems of being able to observe properly. Just thinking out loud over here ~Edit: this is provided that the custom crap is a bug ofc! | ||

Huginncord wrote on Battle.net forums: • The new observer/replay features will not work on Custom Maps or non-blizzard published melee maps. As it stands the overlay is not intended to work on Custom Maps and will only work on Melee maps that have been published a specific way. We're looking into what may be holding up some melee maps from interacting properly with the new overlay functionality but at the moment the new functionality should definitely be working on Blizzard published melee maps. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2267599524 Some melee custom maps have the 1.3 UI such as Sanctuarium by funcmod. It makes the issue harder to understand... | ||
