Using Test map in JNGP has higher fps

[Flux]

Why is it, when I use the Test Map in JNGP, fps reach from 62 to 66 but when I played it by manually running WC3 and selecting the map, fps is 51 to 59.

Anyone know why?

window mode? opengl flag?

Oh sorry,
JNGP RUN MAP: (Not opengl)
In WINDOW MODE: constant 64-65 FPS, smooth gameplay
In NON_WINDOWN MODE: constant 60 FPS, smooth gameplay

MANUALLY OPENING WC3: constant 54 FPS, less smooth gameplay

Try

"Frozen Throne.exe" -loadfile <mapPath>

from command shell, maybe it skips some parts when the map is loaded directly.

Can you give me an example in doing that?

Or better War3.exe

"D:\Warcraft III\War3.exe" -loadfile "D:\Warcraft III\Maps\(2)BootyBay.w3m"

"D:\Warcraft III\War3.exe" -loadfile "D:\Warcraft III\Maps\(2)BootyBay.w3m"

Hmm, now it runs better using that.
Then I tested the manual way again and it runs as good using test map.

I was able to find the problem and it does not involve JNGP.

Thanks for helping WaterKnight, +rep. I learned something from you.
Last question, is using opengl better?

Dunno, OpenGL is hardware-close, as such the support/performance depends on the OpenGL ability of your GPU/graphics card/drivers. For me, I think, Wc3 ran faster using it but I do not often change my system. What I experienced though is that some borderline stuff deviates. For example in the LightningData.slk you can set the duration/interval of a lightning bolt and I once typed a 0 in there and that crashed/freezed in one scenario while it was okay in the other.

Wc3's openGL implementation was most likely for mac support (since Macs don't use Direct X). And I've experienced some weird glitches with it in the past (very minor ones, but usually it related to things not lining up properly). I would just use Direct X if you're playing on Windows.
