1.36.0.20144 Custom Map Size limit bug (Fixed)

PTR Discussion and Bug Report
1

Hello, I have a problem with the map size limit for Warcraft 3 Reforged. According to the team, the map size limit was increased to 512mb, but in reality it is still 256mb. When I try to host a map larger than 256mb, it shows up as “undefined” and I can’t play it online. I heard from some former Blizzard employees that this is a bug (512mb was the intended size increase) that has not been fixed yet.

This is very frustrating for me and other map makers who work with high quality models and textures. My project has 50 factions and it requires a lot of space. 256mb is not enough for HD maps (or SD maps that have a lot of content). I would extremely appreciate if this bug could be fixed (or even increased further).

Thank you for your attention and support.

Please fix this. It would help many custom maps.

Blizzard should fix this bug and inform players about the size of the map before they download it.

I agree, informing players about map size before you download (prompt with yes/no) would be a decent compromise for larger maps.

I do however wish for it to be fixed as my project is currently on-hold partly because of map size limitations.

Update: Tested a 478mb map and it is seemingly fixed, great job guys! really excited for the future of the game with larger/better maps! :grin:
