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.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
