hey guys, I have been playing some games online, and I have come to the conclusion that I have been lagging people out of the game and gaining unfair wins

I have no idea why this is happening and I have no effect in custom games. If anyone has had past experience with this or knows why this may be happening I would love you forever if you could help us out.
thanks guys

Wow that's cool. Could I have your problem please?

Never heard of this though.. maybe you are just paired with people with bad connections?

Welshy · Thu, 2nd-Jun-2011, 5:11 PM

haha yeah you can if you want :P
but yeah thats what i thought aswell for a couple of games, but it is constant and alot of different people :/ its so weird, theres nothing wrong with my NAT or there is none of my firewalls interfering with the pc :S

Zanderax · Thu, 2nd-Jun-2011, 5:34 PM

Maybe you are just running into people that have bad internet. I know what you mean though. I hate getting byes. I'd rather play and get better.

Welshy · Thu, 2nd-Jun-2011, 5:35 PM

Ya its impossible to be able to drop someone even if there was a malfunction on your side.
Because packets are sent from your computer to the server, not from you to your opponent. (Server-sided not peer 2 peer if that makes more sense). And then the server's packets are sent back to you with the new information (meaning its impossible to get a direct ip address of the other person, only the server-ip, and therefore u cannot have an af3ftz on the 0ther p3rzonz yo.)
conclusion: coincidence

You want help, for free ladder points?

Seriously though don't worry about it. Maybe you saw 5 disconnects in one gaming session (say 10 games?), but over your record it's not going to be that many, maybe like 1/30 or something very low. It's not going to affect your MMR that much, so chill out and go stomp some nerds!

When I play 2v2, I sometimes get a really laggy opp or ally, who makes all 3 other players lag and get freezes. Then, when he leaves, everything is smooth again. Guess server is trying to sync all players. It doesn't quiet apply, because if you are not lagging yourself, you can't make opp lag. Just saying

I'm pretty sure Aean meant that it's impossible to drop someone just because your own net is having problems, not that it is impossible to drop someone, period.

I got this same guy on ladder twice in a row and i "apparently" disconnected both games but i could see my self drop -.- but it was only against that one person. Is that a hack that drops your opponents?

Hey guys,

After I downloaded the latest patch my sc2 client would start to lag heavily during a match. Originally I just thought it was my net but then I heard rumors that it was due to Starcraft peripherals which makes sense due to the APM change in the latest patch.

Now I use the razer marauder keyboard, spectre mouse and banshee headset which has the APM lighting system so immeiatly after hearing the rumor I opened my razor configurator for my peripherals and deselected the APM and alerts check boxes for each device. This appears to have worked as I no longer have the terrible lag during game but although my gear still has the pretty lights, the pretty lights no longer change according to APM

The whole point of this post is to enlighten others who may be suffering from this problem. If anyone else is affected can you confirm that change i have made will get rid of the lag?

Oh and beware of the drop bears.

NDG.Stitch · Wed, 21st-Sep-2011, 11:31 PM

yea... i got a lot of bugs with the new patch...

Out of the 2 times i've ran Starcraft after the patch i've already had 2 different really annoying issues with my Razer Imperator mouse.

1) Mouse freezes once in a while in a game (Cursor cannot be moved) no response.
2) Mouse's left click's response is slower (requires reboot to fix)

wonder if anyone else is getting these problems.

crAzerk · Thu, 22nd-Sep-2011, 12:04 AM

I use a Razer Deathadder (no APM lights or whatever) and normal keyboard, no issues with new patch for me.

**Maynarde** · Thu, 22nd-Sep-2011, 12:08 AM

Most of my friends and myself have had no issues with the new patch. Wonder what causes this FPS drop for some people :| Video card driver compatibility maybe? What type of video card does everyone with a problem have?

souljah · Thu, 22nd-Sep-2011, 12:19 AM

Using a razer spectre, currently it seems to have such issues and yeah, heard that it is caused by the changes to APM measurement. Will try again and let you know tomrorow my friend =)

@maynarde : prob not video card driver as I just updated my video card driver today to see if it helps, and it doesn't. APparently Blizzard has received alot of issues with it due to the APM measurement with many pple posting about said problems.

cheekyduck · Thu, 22nd-Sep-2011, 12:39 AM

T__T i was really looking forward to playing sc, but this issue makes it unplayable

Sc2Clare · Thu, 22nd-Sep-2011, 12:44 AM

i hate the new alert fade thing though....
