Hey, i have important gameplay problem with this map, i play in medium settings, i have a very good computer, and when game starts i just can got 60-65 fps, then 5-6 min i have 35-40, lategame its horrible to play.
When i move my screen i feel freeze move like i have 15 fps.
summarizing, i usually have 150 fps or 100 depend of map, at start, but in metropolis i just can got 60 fps. Is not optimiced map?
guys, do you have the same problem?
edit: sorry similar post already opens, close here plz sorry again

Yeah, i noticed the same thing, starting screen gives me about 35-40 fps, usually that happens on 200 vs 200 fight on any other map.
My pc isn't that terrible (5200@3.3ghz, 4gb ram, 4850) not sure what's the problem, but i might end up veto'ing the map just because of poor performance :/

I have the same problem. My computer runs most maps fine, I also have trouble with Xel'naga Caverns and Metalopolis. I think it's a gpu issue, for me. I couldn't find it but there was a thread in the tech support section discussing FPS drop on Metal and XNC. It is probably related to doodads + fog.

Haven't played yet since the addition of the new maps, but does anyone else think it's funny that they made IronManSC take out the water in Ohana because of this exact issue, but haven't given Metropolis a similar treatment?

I hear there are a few too many doodads on that map.....
|
The doodad count on that map is through the roof. I'm not surprised people are having issues. Plus, there is a lot of clipping (overlapping polygons) going on with the doodads, which from my understanding is a big no-no performance wise.
|
Wow, i thought Im the only one.
I have ~80 fps everywhere. But on this map I had like 20-30 all the time. First I thought its a single issue, I rebooted etc, played few games and then again metropolis map appeared and again same 20-30 fps
had to downvote, waiting for fix.
|
The doodad count itself doesn't really matter. You can have thousands of static doodads and your FPS won't change too much. It's the doodads that create light, glow, have moving parts, or a mix of all three that cause lag. This map has lots and lots of lights, as well as a few moving things too.

The map is an FPS trap. I am surprised Blizzard didnt look into that when they put the map into the ladder.
On the korean server I have seen versions of the map where all border art is removed and replaced with a pitch black background. I have seen a version with spaceplatform background as well. The players seems to prefer those versions because the gsl and ladder editions are just FPS killers.
Considering that Entombed valley has less then 300 doodads in total, which I assumed was to keep the ladder playable for everyone without FPS issues, I would think that they at least would have taken a look at the insane FPS traps on Metropolis.

My laptop is kind of a piece of shit, and it runs this map just fine. I've gotten to at least 4 or 5 bases with 2 maxed armies, and still never had a problem. It gives me the same FPS as any other maps does...?

I get under 100fps on that map on lowest settings on an i7 950 @3.72ghz and gtx580 at 1920x1080.
This is at 6 supply staring at my main, for comparison, i get 320fps on Cloud Kingdom LE.
I might go back and look at VOD's of Metropolis, i wonder how many pros hillariously messed up worker splits like i did because of the weird performance difference between this map and others. Shouldnt really have that much of an impact still at ~100fps, but it feels really weird.

I was wondering why I have been getting incredible lag on that map....I felt like it was just me!
|
Happens to me too, this is the only map that the FPS drop occurs on. We needa get blizzards attention on the bnet forums so they can fix it and quickly.
|
One reason Blizzard didn't want community-made maps was because of this. Sometimes fan-made maps won't be as optimized as official versions are, simply because the mapmakers don't have extensive testing requirements before they release the maps. Looking forward to Metropolis LE.

30 FPS Here! Join the club!

Well, congrats, you voted for this terrible map and now you have to play it.
|
I noticed my FPS dropping yesterday as well.... and you know what? This is a crappy map, I think I might use my last veto on it.
