Massive lag

[QueenOfOblivion]

Ok so, I made a map and if you play it online it causes massive lag over time(like 7 min in the game it starts lagging then 8 min it lags more then 9min it lags even more etc.) And if a player leaves it gets a little better for a while. So i checked for memory leaks and fixed all, then I used the Leak Checker program and it found none.. could anyone take a look? (I could send a unprotected version in a PM) Ty.

Sounds like loop leaks. Basically you get a series of code running repetitivly with no end but you keep on making more of them.
Especially prone with GUIs retarded wait unti condition is met.

Also, I could advise optimizing any perodic events from 0.01 to atleast 0.03 and making them in JASS for even higher execution efficency.

I never heard of a leak checker, but this is what you should do is pretty much recheking everything... It can only be leaks :/

Check this for leaks:
Locations (Like when creating a unit)
Unit groups
Sounds
Timers

The map doesn't use sound triggers, the periodic event is 0.03, only 1 repeating timer that expires every 60s (repeating timers don't leak right? and even if they did I can't imagine one leak every 60s causing massive lag) for the rest i checked it a million times and I cant find it.. could anyone look at it?

EDIT: there is actually a sound leak but that is every 120-400sec, can that cause massive lag that gets a little better as players leave?

Maybe all the hosts were laggy?

+ I was the host so I should have 0 delay and 0 spikes + people with bigger RAM have less lag.

Do you have lag when you play it alone? Maybe just decrease the number of players. xD Naa, lol there's gotta be something, but I can't help you I'm afraid.

When I play it offline, I did not experience any lag. Ty anyway, Still, Could someone take a look at it?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

I could, but im not sure if i could spot them. Whatever, ill give it a try

 

[QueenOfOblivion]

PM with the map sent, check your inbox.

Edit: Lord_of_sausage did not find any leaks, Ty though (+rep) Who's next?

 

[onix_noob]

i wonna try

 

[QueenOfOblivion]

onix_noob tried and failed. anyone else wanna try?

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

Is this somekind of "Come and try defeat me" tournament? xD

 

[QueenOfOblivion]

Might be I really want it fixed tho

 

[Wood_Basher]

Hmmm, do you use alot of custom models and such maybe the map has to big of a file size to play online correctly without lag?

 

[QueenOfOblivion]

The current map size is 1.2MB but a few versions back it was 620KB and it was also lagging. so no its not because of the file size.

 

[Wood_Basher]

Well i dont know what to say usually lag like this comes from leaks in the Jass code of the map but maybe its just your computer?

 

[QueenOfOblivion]

Everyone lags, and there are no custom Jass codes in my map.

 

[Eleandor]

I guess that solves it? You need jass to clean up your leaks.

 

[QueenOfOblivion]

Want to take a look at it? 100% leak free..

 

[Wood_Basher]

I guess that solves it? You need jass to clean up your leaks.

yea depending on your gui triggers... if youve got very comlex GUI triggers the world edit triggers will be very confusing and slow down your map. Especially if you have many triggers and variables. Just get to know Jass it will clean up your maps code very easily

 

[Eleandor]

I guess it's a good idea to show your triggers anyway...

I'm on cbs channel at the moment if you like to share it.

Leaks

PM me the map, I will see if I can find something wrong.
Doubt it but it's worth a try. ^^
