I'm not sure, but I think since 1.16 I don't think alt-tab lags the game up for everyone else. Can anyone confirm this?

Why does anyone use alt-tab? You can just use alt-esc to minimize the game...



None.

No, Whenever someone minimized the game before everyone could tell and it lagged a whole bunch(1vs1 obs games would always have some loser who did this). I think the CPU usage change had something to do with this.

Depends on who did it, I was able to do it before without anyone noticing.

Maybe it has to do with the new patch's upgrades?

why not only pressing "windows"
lol... easiest way, I'm using it

and by the way: when you re-max the game it causes some sound bugs. thats damn annoying

i use windows key to minimize the screen, but when i maximize again, the pixels and everything else screws up. once the view looked like yoshi's avatar.(sort of) i think fox told me that alt+tab was to correct this. i use minimize+close to stop lagg. works for some crazy reason. dont try it though, if you arent carefull, you could end up quitting the game.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
