Thank you for the update!

Can we have an option to disable the cinematics so I can leave my nephew playing Cartooned without having to micro manage the game the whole time?

Thank you :slight_smile:

After 1.23.3 patch, When viewing Observer mode, there is a bug that disappears resources, population status board and bottom menu.

I am experiencing this as well. In observer mode the game will start and you can see all the menus that you can normally deactivate by pushing Q W E R, but then randomly the top right menu (showing player names, min/gas, population/apm) disappears and you cannot get it back. I have had different features disappear at different times, it isn’t only that top right menu, I have had all of them disappear randomly as well.

I have also had it where I am observing, and right when the game starts, I have a distorted version of the ‘create game’ screen right in the middle of the game I am observing. It stays there and doesn’t leave. I can even slide the slidebars to set game speed/turn rate as well as the two check boxes to set custom hotkeys/unit limits. It even has the three drop down menus for map, game type, and teams (including the little click icon to browse your folder to look for a map).

I have also had a couple other games I observed where I had other parts of the lobby interfaces overlap the game. It isn’t just the create game menu that’s overlapping.

I’m honestly happy that they don’t relase a “big” patch at Season or ASL KSL beginning which would increase the risk of messing up with bugs an important time for Starcraft

#20

last one is little… like 20MB or less

ASL Official maps site’s Hitchhiker map has been updated. Ladder maps also need to be updated to the latest version.

• Hitchhiker 1.3 → 1.4 [Fixed a mineral patch on the 11 o’clock expansion that would not have been collected naturally.]
