Hello! Figured I'd put this in the blog section as I couldn't see where else to put it.

So... my friend just got a new pc. We installed sc,bw and iccup. We have been playing on iccup just fine BUT! for some reason when we watch the replay when you increase the speed from fastest to x2 to x4 to x8 to x16... it just isn't working. x2 works fine I think but as you increase to x4 it's barely noticeable and x16 is like watching it on x4 normally.
Anyone had this problem before or know what's up ??

thanks!

its internet lag, anything above 4x doesn't really speed up.

In my experience usually you have to turn the AH off to go above x4. Might be due to lag or something I don't know.

edit: oh yeah poster below reminded me it's usually the LAN lat that messes things up.

LAN latency makes watching replays lag. Just have someone uncheck LAN when you want to watch replays.

Iccup lan latency + no other players watching is best for replays at least for me. 16x works great and minimap refresh is more frequent than when watching on single player.
