Makes impossible to get a full house games like mafia...
Haven't had one full house because of patch. Up t0 3 to 5 players is lost on game start!
Even i was kicked at gamestart twice now.

Bump, this is important it's ruining games.

there's a reason www.getdota.com was created.

I believe that if this indeed is an issue caused by introducing the new streaming system for custom games, it will be hotfixed very shortly by Blizzard. But I for one think the lag and disconnections are caused by other factors as well, like connection issues, processor, ram memory or simply the map itself. Hope these issues get fixed soon in one way or another, so that everyone can enjoy the custom games properly! : )

Regards.

Streaming should be optional, not default...
People with slow connections is ruining it for some.

Also people are kicked before games starts, no dc messages nothing.

I believe that might be due to computer crash or simply players closing the game ( alt+f4, end process etc ) due to the excessive loading time involved in some custom maps.

How does the streaming work ? I see it says streaming when loading etc but didn't get it ?

Streaming consists of 'downloading' the map during loading, instead of doing it before joining the game lobby.
