I played this in my testing lobby today. I thought it was a fun map. It's quite enjoyable when it actually works. In the 3 rounds we played, it only worked once. What happened was people spawned in the map but were stuck in a black screen for too long. We died by the soft kill because by the time we got out of the black screen, there was only like 2 seconds left in the kill zone. Might be a problem with the map rather than connection because in the many other minigames we played, people loaded in just fine. I think what's happening is the game is having trouble loading in all the map's effects. So this is probably a performance issue. There were also a couple frame drops during our game. I suggest toning down the special effects and other aesthetics.
Thanks for the feedback, I have a couple questions very quickly. How many players? Another issue with the loading may have to do with people joining midgame. I have experienced what you described in the black screen when people join midgame but thats it. The trees drop the frames some :/ I have kept the FX to less than 30% and the lightmap is 101%. So I can attempt to lower it to avoid that problem. Kill areas cant be scripted so that's really the only way I can do it. I have only experienced it when players join midgame so its weird you had it so much. Ill see what I can do. Thanks again
Didn't have players join midgame. However, it was played with 16 players. Would that have anything to do with it? If not, it might just be the various effects, trees, and stuff that affect performance
In light of recent tests(with Max Extra), I am lifting the player count up to 16. The map worked fine with 16 players. If the map bugs out however, reload it and try again. It should work fine. Thank you enjoy
Just wanted to give a quick thank you to iSpiteful for doing a video on this map. Im glad people enjoy.
My issue happened again when I played this in my lobby today. Such a shame because this is pretty fun when it works right. The issue might just lie with me though
Wow that's so weird, ispiteful played many games in a row(without issues I assume) so idk what to tell you man Message me on xbox some time if you want to play it and we can try to get it working thats really odd tbh
