I notice that whenever I play Metropolis and only Metropolis, I get about a 10 FPS drop and I cannot figure out why.
Is anyone else noticing that they lose FPS on that map? I checked out the actual Ladder Edition of Metropolis uploaded by Blizzard and I'm still having the same issues.
For technical purposes: I'm using a 2011 Macbook Pro with an ATI 6750M 1GB GPU and a Quad Core i7 @ 2.2 Ghz.
I usually get between 30 - 50 FPS but on Metropolis it goes from 15-25 FPS

I actually have a similar problem. Metopolis makes my FPS drop like no other.
Heck, even in the Code A up and down matches HuK was saying how his FPS was down to 70 on that map and so was his opponent. The game before his opponent was on either 140 or 170 FPS.
I find it weird that this map specifically is so bad for FPS and i wonder if there's anything that could be changed to helped it out. |

For future reference this belongs in tech support, and I'm sure a mod will move this to tech support, so don't worry about that now.
To your question: when I used to play Starcraft on this piece of junk laptop I notices that my frames on certain maps would be drastically lower, it might have something to do with the textures, of certain tile-sets; sadly I'm not sure there is much you can do about it besides just deal with it. |

| Sounds like a similar issue with XNC, many people had lag going through the center of the map |

I have the same problem. I notice the fps drop at the very beginning of the game.
Im running the game with an i5, 4gb of ram, gtx260, on Windows 7.
I'm vetoing this map and wait for a fix or something. |

Before my ladder run today, I came in mind the FPS drops people were talking about in Metropolis.
And indeed, I noticed it was quite difficult to play on it so I will veto the map until it gets resolved. I have no problem with any other map.Last edit: 2012-04-11 11:10:18 |

Actually this is a well known problem. Since there is a lot of empty space around the edges, and they have a lot of buildings and such to make up for the dead space. That tends to eat up a lot of processor power. Hence the fps drops.
LS afaik has released a "lite" version with just black dead space. That helps with my fps. though they didn't put the light version on the ladder pool. only the full one with all the fps drops. |

| It is just because of processing power intensive doodads in the deadspace between the bases and islands and such. Not a lot you can do about it. |

| I've heard some comments about the fps drops in that map. It's quite weird, although i haven't noticed this issue by myself yet. |

just turn graphics lower, there was a similar problem with Xel Naga when it first came out. May take a bit to correct but you really should post this on BNET forums where hopefully they'll see it. Posting on here won't really help to fix the problem but may just help to know that you aren't alone  |

| Even on a GTX 570 I noticed a bit of lag (on low graphics) in late game pvz whereas I generally have absolutely no lag. Hope they fix this soon. |

| I also have this problem, it actually is causing my computer to lag, and I have all my settings low. I don't lag on any other map, and it is quite frustrating. |

| Oddly enough, I had problems with Shattered Temple once in a blue moon and Metalopolis quite frequently but have no problems whatsoever with Metropolis. Had FFs lag the hell out of me on Korhal Compound the other day out of nowhere, too. |

You say that as if GPU will determine your FPS in the lategame on low graphics |

I hope this gets fixed, I'm having a huge fps drop in this map.
and I don't want to lower the graphics, it feels more like a map issue rather than a CPU issue.. |

I said it how it is. I think it's a map issue, not a GPU issue. (otherwise my comp would run it fine). |

I too have been experiencing FPS drops... my marine micro was too late and my tank push didn't work  I'm on the lowest graphics settings too. I don't even have any vetos that I can use! |
