WindStrike Posted November 11, 2011 Apparently, when you build a torrent tower, asides from the current ridiculous damage bug, it continues to add lag. And that lag doesn't disappear. When buffed with Fountain Towers, just by having one torrent/tsunami tower, the game lags a ridiculous amount by the time you hit level 60. To the point where 24 Blitz Towers lag less. I don't have a bad computer at all; it runs SC2 perfectly fine on high settings and can handle a lot, but once a torrent/tsunami tower is out for about 10+ rounds, the lag is just baaad. If you want to test it, use the currently busted torrent tower, stick one down on extra short mode w/ a spring tower (and later a fountain) and observe as the game ends up lagging by 40.

WindStrike Posted November 15, 2011 So after playing around with things a bit, it's not well towers, or torrent really... It's Fountain (level 3 well). When paired with just about anything, the lag goes up exponentially. Most notably Fountain + Torrent or Tsunami. Next worst would be Fountain + Ice, then Fountain + Ephemeral. The Forge buff (or any variant) has absolutely no problems, but for some reason, Fountain is ridiculous. It's not just the fact that towers fire 120% faster; there's weird lighting effects that only happen with Fountain, which results in lag that makes micromanagement nearly impossible. I'd say the only thing that comes close to lagging as badly as this is mass Hail towers, which again, probably has something to do with the powerful lighting effects.
