New patch 1.27b.

[Unregret]

Anyone have tried to test a map in multiplayer mode with more than 8mb? I tried with a map bigger than 58mb but somehow its stuck in 29%. Need to know what caused this. Map or patch?

Link to the map: UB - Raging Stream v1.6b AI+ (Naga Update)

I know its still so soon to judge this but hopefully...

People have confirmed it worked.

Unless you have a really fast internet it might take a long time to upload, especially on cheaper or lower quality consumer grade connections. For example my old internet only had a maximum upload of 40 kB/second (bytes, not bits), which would mean uploading a 32 MB map (1/4 of the limit) would take ~15 minutes at best.

Thank you, i guess i have to try with someone very close to me instead.

Edit: What if we have three people downloaded the map, then one host, others join but they stuck in 29%.

He didnt tell you that when I tested with him we hd the map already. So it's kind of a bug. Showing 29% when we already have the map? Must be something else.

29% of what? map downloading?
If it will attempt to download the map, its comparing algorithm (prolly hashes) thinks that the maps arent the same... or maybe, it cant find the map on the second player.

Its not moving from 0 to 29% or to 100%. This number just pop up right at the moment someone joining the host and keep staying at 29 later on.

Tried when connected with a high speed LAN? It might take several hours to upload very large map files on some consumer grade internet connections.

People have been reporting the same on gaias (52 mb) ... its stuck at 22% on regular hosting.

It works on the official bots, though, so this might be a client-side error when hosting games.

Well, then this situation is depend on someone who can fix this. At least we know this is caused by the patch, not our maps.

Using the map size limit bypasser tool might help for those people trying to host. After all, this was how we circumvented the limit in the first place.

However, the fact that it works properly on hostbots implies that its an error on the host side, not an error on the peer side.

It used to be pretty common when hosting games that the clients would get stuck or download unexplainably slowly. Solution was to rejoin and try again. I think its just an old error that is being made worse by the new map sizes.

This is no doubt that something wrong with alternative hosting method. Patch only work for official Battle.net hosting.
