trouble with sc2


Recommended Posts

I been having pernament problems with sc2.It has this laggin dragging quality.the game is playable you can say but it just annoy me so much and I cant enjoy the game if every single command has this slight lag and then it will move really fast after it fronze for a second or 2.My havesters all do this.I cant take it anymore and I have tried almost everythig

so I need some advice.I did a ping test and I select server in us which is about as far as I can get from south-africa I think and this is what I get

ping 73 ms

download speed 5.95

IF i say pernament it must be 2 weeks maybe 3.I read that you need a ping of 200 before a game becomes laggy right?and download speed is ok right.IF the game is 100% fine offline can it be something that has nothing to do with my connection?

Also I can test another isp but last time I installed another 3g modem mine stopped working.That windows was buggy so why would it do that and if it does that again can I do a system restore to fix it.last time my pc refused to pick up the modem I quess you can say.I formatted my pc just the other day i have a registry cleaner so my pc is optimized.what could be wrong?

Here are my specs are a far as I can tell

dual core 3.2ghz 2gb rame I have a ati radeaon in the 5000 series 1024 mb.

I just uninstalled a bunch of stuff some of which I dont recognice that was propably installed by accident by my little brother.

But some of them is wamp server,my sql server internet explorer 8.anyway sc2 loads so fast now.I have this incredible boost of speed that just came out of nowhere.well nowhere but you know what I mean.I tried playing sc2 but the server just happen to be down.That suggest to me there might be problems with blizzard server because of the timing.anyway I have this great boost in speed now so I will try again tomorrow.

IF the game is 100% fine offline can it be something that has nothing to do with my connection?

If the game doesn't lag (hardware lag?) / have problems playing offline, then it's your network / connection.

Also I can test another isp but last time I installed another 3g modem mine stopped working.

As asked in the second post, are you gaming over a 3G connection?

Edit:- 3G is the answer to your problem...

actaully I have played over 2000 games on a 3g modem and i play guild wars 2 on a 3g modem every day.Not always perfect but works just fine most of the time.This is how I see it.

1.something is wrong with my pc either hardware or software

2.My network does not work as well as it use to or there might be problems with my network maybe something to do with the holiday season because it is a shared resource.

3.I think this is highly unlikely something is wrong on blizzard end.

what I think I am going to do is play wc3 instead for a week and then try again.I do have access to another isp modem but last time I installed it my current one stopped working so I had to reinstall windows.if the problem persist a week from now I think I might risk it my windows might have been buggy last time.If that does not work I quess I can try to format the whole thing otherwise I need to save money for more ram.If that dont work then I stop playing sc2

If your playing during peek times then this will cause the issue your having for the 3g network i would consider getting a better connection.

Using a 3G connection for online gaming isn't a good idea. The biggest factor for online gaming is latency and 3G connections have very high latency (in comparison to dedicated broadband Internet connections). Even if your download and upload speeds are as high as 20 Mbps, it wouldn't make your gaming experience any better.

If your not going to listen to people in the two threads you have made then whats the point in the threads? Your not listening and saying you know the issue and its not your connection but im sorry your wrong it is your connection.

1. You are using a poor connection

2. You are playing a very popular game

3. Its a fast paced game where more units and gfx = more lag

4. More people on ur network and signals bouncing around = lag

Btw here is your other thread: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1126778-3g-unstable/

If you dont want lag do as you said in your other thread on the 19th and get ADSL otherwise live with it they are your options.

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
