I just finished this 3v3 ZC map (my first ever SCM map) and tried to make a game with it. As soon as I entered the game lobby (where you wait for players to join your game) my game crashed. I got an error messages saying that "StarCraft has encountered a problem and needs to close". I've tried remaking the game about 5 times and it keeps crashing as soon as I enter the game lobby.
Can anyone help me out here? Has anyone ever experienced something like this before?

I have the same problem, but it usually works like the 2nd time I host the map.
No idea what type of bug it is, but one day it totally wasn't working, but I was just gonna 2v2 with my friends on this one map, so what I did was send it to one of 'em over aol and -he- hosted it.
If you could do something like that, try it, if not, I dunno...I -doubt- it, but what would level 1 tech support say? Reboot your machine? Sorry...might be some bug that blizz actually knows about, but again, I'm doubtful. GL finding something though ;P
It's because Zero Clutter is a Money map. Battle.net has formed a secret conspiracy against such maps and their creators.
jk. I would say just start over on a fresh map and take careful note of what you're doing.
Make sure that you didn't place any units off the map. This should go in Melee General Discussion.
i never had this bug, but i would want to know why it happens.
this is better in map making assistance.
Try to open the map in Starcraft's original editor and it will erase all the invalid units then open it back in whatever editor you were using and restack the minerals.
Also, if you used one of the non-vanilla editors, make sure you placed start locations. I remember i had a problem where i couldn't create a game that i had made; it turned out i forgot start locations. Maybe yours is letting you past the 'cannot create; invalid game' and is just crashing it.
