Hello, when map sizes got increased last time the team mentioned that it was increased to 512mb however, it’s been limited to 256mb since release due to bugs, when you host the map it hosts it as “undefined” and I believe someone mentioned blizzard cloud might also be bugged and not allowing larger than 256mb maps on custom games either (online).
For sources:
It took me a bit to find out, officially the patch note cites 128mb (last time it was quoted), however, currently it’s 256mb (but) when talking to ex blizzard members who worked in reforged, they told me that yes, it was supposed to be 512mb originally, but it’s bugged. (Confirming what I recalled), I’d appreciate if it could be fixed.
I am working on a fairly large project (50 factions) and do need the size, a lot of map makers also work in HD and in HD 256mb is sort of pitiful as a size because every model can easily be 5mb+.
