Been surfing this forum and the rest of the internet for hours and can't find an answer to this question.
I have a single player map I made back in Beta and recently re-launched on the live game, but the game lobby isn't working right.
I want player 1 to be human controlled and i want players two and three to be computer controlled.
No matter what I seem to do (messing with variances, player properties, etc) the two computer slots are always open to be filled by people in the lobby. Can anyone help?
Map is "The Hungry Hungry Baneling" in case you want to find it on bnet to get a hands on look at what I'm talking about.
It's been on the popularity list (somehow despite not working right, haha) so I've been joining it there to test it. says its custom on the side, but none of the variants i set up seem to be applying themselves... Set it to default, locked them up, but none of them seem to be in play. not the timer, the teams, nada.
any idea what button i may have missed to make the variants apply?
Game Variant was already set to default, but here's something else i noticed. When i create the game myself, the variants are automatically in place and the lobby is set up as it should be.
It's only when I join game on the popularity list that the variants don't kick in. Any idea why that might be?
republished it several times last night as i was attempting tweaks and chances. Just deleted all the variants and redid them, will publish when bnet is back online and see if that helped...
Games are ranked by popularity and type, so re-listing your game with a new type creates a new, separate (probably less popular -_-) version of the map.

Thanks in advance.
I haven't had that issue before.
Just to be thorough, are you setting the game type to 'custom' in the lobby?

At Gamevariants rightclick the variant and choose "default". That will set that variant as the default one.

Have you tried to re-publish the map? Perhaps it is just messed up currently?
