AI Editor (AI LAG in game)

[Fireranger-007]

Hello everyone! I created AI (Reforget)... For all STANDARD races. And they ALL LAGS (Hard FPS drop)! Like in this video (this is not my map on video)

I did all right. I know how to make good AI. But after 10-20 min FPS drop very hard (because of AIs). 6 AIs players on map... And it is lag for all players! Plz tell me... It can be fixed?

First off all, please post your system specification. I think Reforged "consumes" a lot of resources because of the new graphics (HD). Even latest one (1.35) can take up to 16 GB of memory.
Also, since your problems are likely related to the AI, there is another guy who posted the similar problem beforehand, but it's for 1.31. I assume that this trick also works for 1.35:

Lag spikes in newer patches (1.31 , 1.31.1)

Ever since I upgraded my Warcraft III to version 1.31, maps I play are constantly lagging out. I thought maybe 1.31 is a bit buggy, so I updated the version again to 1.31.1. The lag is still there. I have tried multiple ways to repair this issue: - Repairing the game - Using the "-graphicssapi...

Such stutter is usually due to the AI trying to place down or find something they cannot. They perform some sort of exhaustive loop which is very resource intensive so stalls execution for a significant period of time.

I play SD graphics... So it can't be lag. And: standard AI doesn't lag.
Well i put my AI on standard map and it no lag at all! But on my map it is hard lag! Also i delete ALL TRIGGERS and almost all from my map... And AI still lag!
I dont know what to do...

Stutter due to AI pathfinding or decision-making-loops is not the same as visual latency from poor graphics performance.

As I mentioned previously.

Such stutter is usually due to the AI trying to place down or find something they cannot.

You will want to layout your map so that the AI can place down buildings or find their victims and expansions more easily. Make larger open starting and expansion spaces for them to build in. Also make sure all expansion sites and all other player start locations are accessible by significantly sized land bridges since Warcraft III AI lacks optimisations to handle island maps well.

Thanks to all... Well it lag because of trees... Real, trees! He try to build in trees (or between the trees)! But he can't reach it
