Ok so this is really weird...

I can start a game and it will be smooth the whole way through, no problems whatsoever and no spikes.

The next game I play, I get 30 spikes per minute. It won't fix itself no matter what, nobody else is occupying the internet and I'm not downloading.

The thing thats so strange is, the game never just starts lagging halfway through, it will either lag the whole time or not lag at all.

Does anybody know what this is?

I'm not very good with technical things but I have a theory that starcraft has multiple servers, and my ISP might have difficulty with one of them and not the other, so half the time my game lags.

I'm on Optusnet (ikr horrible), but can't switch ISPs in my circumstances.

Try opening task manager and closing: agent.exe
That program can download in the background and yes it is a blizzard program.

Re: Technical help please :D sc2 lag issues

Check on the first splash screen (where the big orange play button) whether the sc2 client is downloading in the background, I remember that was a big thing back at hots release.

Re: Technical help please :D sc2 lag issues

Could be so many problems haha.

Does it happen anywhere else? Other games? Watching movies? Are you running something new? Did you just download something?

Try a RAM reset, probably not the problem but you never know, turn the pc off, take the side off and just pull the ram out and put it back in, clean your pc and have a try, couldn't hurt.

You've come down with a bad case of Optusitis. I'm sorry, the only cure is to punch a hole through a wall.

Re: Technical help please :D sc2 lag issues

I'm assuming this is when you ladder?

Also I'm assuming that if you play the same person multiple times you either lag every time or don't lag against them?

I would guess that it's ISP related unfortunately, maybe due to international routing depending on the location of your opponent, as sc2 once you are in game, if I remember right, is peer to peer?

Re: Technical help please :D sc2 lag issues

it only really started happening recently though... I just tried out a whole bunch of games vs AI and strangely enough, sometimes i got 30 spikes per minute, and sometimes i got none.

It's so weird because its consistent throughout the whole game.

I had this problem too. Unfortunately I never found a fix. It kinda just fixes itself within 2-3 days~
