Map rotation stopped working
After certain updates, players find that Alt plus middle mouse no longer rotates the map view. The fix sits in Settings under Control. Change the camera mode to Spring. This restores rotation and movement behavior that many experienced players prefer over the default.
Team resource tax explained
BAR includes a global team resource tax option in the advanced lobby settings. This setting adds deductions to shared resources between teammates. The counterintuitive result is that it can actually make mex fighting worse. When sharing resources carries a penalty, players who already have fewer mexes suffer more because they receive a smaller share of the overflow. Teams with uneven mex distribution see the most friction.
Hidden lobby features
BAR lobby settings include a ton of extra options that most players never explore. Custom unit data stat tables let hosts test new balance changes or soft modifications without waiting for official updates. Diving into advanced options reveals tools for custom game creation and practice scenarios.
Quick reference
- Map rotation broken? Settings, Control, set Camera to Spring
