I am testing my new map, unfortunately, some players have the issue that they cannot see anything, everything remains blank.

They report that the download loading bar stays at 0 and then skips it.


I as game host sometimes just see a flash of a blue player with blank name entering, and leave within .1 sec.


On the other hand, a player that kept leaving and rejoining did manage to get in at the end. So it is not 100% unjoinable, but still very bad.
In solo play I have zero problems whatsoever.


Now I have to add following:
-map was converted to SLK format
-did no MPQ edits at all
-I put nothing in the Map Init trigger (main) > stuff starts at 0 sec game timer

So I guess the only cause can be something like corrupted imports? The map is rather large at 16MB.

This is an optimization, shaves of 1MB and increases load times.

I just tested with normal format. Only changes are removal of wtg, w3c, w3r, and wct through MPQ edit.
The issue still persists, but some people are able to get in. Sometimes it needs closing down and re-opening WC3 to be able to start download on the map.
