Leak Tracking

Rune Knight (Possible caus the new area spell)
Arcan Archer
Undead:
Plight (Dive maybe?)

Emberwraith

Re: Leak Tracking
Depends on exactly what sort of lag we're talking about. Spikes that end after a spell ends don't count (and make the spell that cuases it really damn obvious, usualy geyser). End game lag is usualy just due to a massive amount of units. Lag that drives games to a complete halt or near halt is important though, even if they aren't nessarily a memory leak in itself.Shadow.M4L wrote:Does also Massive Lags count to?

Re: Leak Tracking
Well i meant low fps~
Sometimes we had like 10fps or worse. To that time geysir wasnt activated i dont know cant remember but it last 3-4 seconds. Then the fps slowly raised and became stable. This happened several times.
It was not because the amount of Spawns, i think it was because 3-4 heros casted at the same time on the same screen a spell. Also Spawns was included in these effects.

Re: Leak Tracking
Well, memory leaks effect the RAM of a computer, I think, and last until the game is over (and the computer finally clears the RAM)... so it shouldnt improve again after a time... :-/

Re: Leak Tracking
I dont know if wc3 is able to do so, but normaly i need to restart my PC or wait a hour until it become normal again.
Thats why some people need to restart Wc3 after playing some matches, or one round eota^^

Re: Leak Tracking
Seriously, anyone experiencing memory leaks or lags needs to
a) buy a new computer

Re: Leak Tracking
Seriously, 1.10 runs fine.
And some people dont want to buy a new pc every 6 months just to play the new EotA version. And if you do youre plain stupid.
And game parts with slow down are just called lags even though they are performance drops and thus have nothing to do with connection speed.

Re: Leak Tracking
Meh, while I dont deny there's a certain minimum computer requirement for EotA, its certainly not suppose to be increasing over the versions. The existance of this thread should say enough that its an issue on my end, not anyone elses.Storamin wrote:Seriously, anyone experiencing memory leaks or lags needs to

The only real exception is if you lag horribly every single game. The current issues are something like 20% chance per game (and that's a high estimate I think - unacceptable anyway), but the rest should be playing fairly well (yes, even some with ud)

Re: Leak Tracking
Naga, her spells like Geyser and Ki Blitz cause lots of temporary lag, I find Blitz worse then geyser personally.

Re: Leak Tracking
Just for the records, the game yesterday, with Siege, was painful to me... unplayable later on... fps went down to 1/3 or 1/4 regularly...
EDIT:
UD: Neph (War, Fire, 1 level Blood, Power, later 1 Shadow) , Ember (AoE, Stun, Ult, Smoke), Lich (dunno), Martyr (Polarize, rest dunno)
HE: AA (Fam, Meteors, dunno), Infil (AoO, mines, dunno), DW (HS, ED, Dispel, Veng), BP (FotD, FS, dunno)
NO LAG (should be said, too) [apart from one short moment for me, but it was very well playable, till we lost normally (Stormwail)]
Creep: Gravel (Rockslide, HotM, Ult, later Tremor), Scarab (Nightmare, Ult, dunno), Fugly (early leaver), Bane, Dryad (comp)
UD: Defiler (Chain, Plague, stun), Naga (Ki Blitz, Befuddle, Geyser, dunno), Martyr (Ethe, Polarize, Ult, Streak), dunno the rest anymore (No Plight and no Neph, I think, but I also dont remember Ember)
NO LAG, very well playable, enemies left when they started losing (Stormwail), we finished the game normally
EDIT:
Creep: IS, Fenny, Bane, DS
UD: Neph, Naga, Lich, Rue
NO LAG; Stormwail, we surrendered (although it was quite late, no noticable lag at all)

Re: Leak Tracking
Ran into a performance issue.
I was Time Cleric and I was casting Ebb repeatedly. It was fine until one time I cast it it just slowed that part of the map way down. Everybody left after that as it just lagged horribly.
Edit: Now that I think about it and have played version D more, I don't believe it was just Ebb. Version D seems to be full of lag in general...

Re: Leak Tracking
Yeah, but a lot of things might depend on how much it's previously leaked, or any number of huge possibilities that you can't even consider. It's the straw that breaks the camel's back in this case, QSm.BustroQuick wrote:I was using Ebb in the test game, didn't run into any issues...
Re: Leak Tracking
This was the RK liquid lag spell. There were like 3 or 4 active by time the game ended.Storamin wrote:Ran into a performance issue.

Re: Leak Tracking
Except Ebb isn't a triggered spell, other than the unit spawn and duration, so the only thing that could cause the leak is the Ebb aura unit itself spawning - which is very unlikely.SeasonsOfLove wrote:Yeah, but a lot of things might depend on how much it's previously leaked, or any number of huge possibilities that you can't even consider.

And if Ebb has been redone with new triggering, disregard this post

Re: Leak Tracking
The hero in everyones but w00tzs games appearing is Ember. He has 2 spells which last for a rather long duration with large AoE and are thus good candidates for creating massive leaks if something is wrong with them. At least thats my guess.

Re: Leak Tracking
Gloom, 40 minutes game.
UD:
Ember LEFT RIGHT AT START, so AI took over and probably didnt made him cast the leaking stuff ( just my theory ofc )
Defiler
Vamp
Naga
Elves:
Aero
SB
Swashy
TC
Sniper
Game basically didnt leak at all. Leaving was under 15 seconds compared to 7,5 minutes in a leaky game.

Re: Leak Tracking
Kedge Landing can get insanely laggy, enough to be unplayable.
In terms of heroes, unfortunately I haven't kept tracked but Kedge's Landing is the only map that can get crazy lag for some reason.
Sometimes it doesn't lag, sometimes it does lag crazily and stays that way for the rest of the game.

Re: Leak Tracking
I don't think Kedge's has to do with hero selection, I've seen all kinds of combinations on that map, and every scenario resulting to eventually becoming unplayable or crashing.
Re: Leak Tracking
Experienced two more crashes on gloom and kedge each, posting the logs
