Full title: Please consider to stop the option-menu from asking the server each time. Ridiculous blank screens.
Hi. Some feedback testing latest patch online in all regions and at prime times.
When the server is unstable you feel that too much in unnecessary places.
Like why are almost all menus even bound to the server? (Probably transferring data of menu-interaction)
When servers are “down” - you can best test this by connecting to another region - sometimes / rarely this occurs:
- Sometimes/rarely replays menu doesn’t open! (This is an offline feature, ATM you don’t offer to download old patches to watch old replays, yet when the server is slow this is broken sometimes/rarely )
- Can’t change sound options (or any other), when clicking options it’s a blank menu
- Can’t change race or mode in multiplayer
- Can’t access or continue in some menus, i.e. multiplayer or after a match stuck in a blank score-screen without buttons and no text.
- Can’t cancel match queue, game found then stuck until restarting wc3.
- Edit: Forgot: The Collection menu, and thus Skins disappearing ingame → Please just make checking your status (i.e. have collector’s edition?) a once-a-month check so the skins show properly. (I believe this happens when client disconnected but you can still continue playing the current match…)
- Duh: Harder to find games + more disconnects.
- Let alone any reconnect which still isn’t implemented, highest priority IMO (aside from a functioning matchmaking system/ladder which feedback is given about elsewhere: The MMR isn’t considered for match-finding.)
Thanks for reading my bug-report(s) and checking
