Worked great this morning but I'm trying to play tonight and I've been lagging crazily the same as when Patch 13 was just implemented, with or without the program running. Instant drop from 4 games and counting, 2 with it on, 2 without..

If one of you Windows users could check something for me, I'd appreciate it. Hop into a game without using this hack, hit Start -> Run, type cmd<enter>, then type: netstat -n | find "1119". copy/paste the output here.


I think you're right. UDP appears to be disabled server-side. I'm not running R1CH's program, and going by netstat output, I don't see any UDP activity at all, only TCP.


When I use the application provided by R1CH, it shows that it is indeed blocking stuff.

UDP won't show up in netstat because it is connectionless. However I did some brief testing (Custom game and FFA) earlier tonight and it appears UDP is no longer in use.

Somewhat correct, netstat doesn't show UDP "connections" the typical way you'd expect, but it will show a UDP server.

gary@snuggles:~$ netstat -aun | grep "1337" 05/26/10 9:26 PM
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1337 0.0.0.0: *
udp6 0 0 :::1337 ::: *

= my torrent client. so if SC2 was using UDP, it would show the server running.

I just played some 2v2s with a friend who normally lags a lot, and he said the games where he lagged heavily were the games where your program wasn't active. Possible placebo effect at work?

I didn't have time to test much, it might still be using UDP. Just because my program shows it blocking UDP doesn't mean it would have used UDP, if bnet doesn't respond to the UDP then it will still go back to TCP.

Why does Blizzard suck so bad? R1CH seems to easily find and fix problems with the beta faster than they do.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

R1CH didn't do anything special. Blizzard is trying to implement a different technology here. UDP will give everyone the counterstrike latency people desire. They were using TCP before, which was slow. What would you rather have? A few weeks of horrible lag and latency during the beta but awesome latency when the game is released or a playable beta but 150ms latency?

if you're gonna write poor code and implementing it will fuck up what u already have, programmers generally choose to not implement it before whatever problem it has is fixed. This leads me to believe Blizzard didn't do a sufficient amount of testing (10 games would have sufficed in this case) and their bnet team consists of a bunch of dimwits

edit:: sorry for the double post

my guess as to what happened when implementing UDP in blizzard:

here is my netstat response:

TCP 192.168.***.******* 213.248.127.131:1119 ESTABLISHED

If UDP is disabled on server then game works the same with or without R1ch's solution - switch to TCP.

However, even TCP is performing better at the moment it cannot be final for mass playing. From now on with more traffic TCP can go only worse.

Please post the source code - you can remove your personal headers if you wish. We dont want to compile.

Unfortunately, this program is against BNet's ToS and could get your account revoked.

I just got dropped from a ladder game a moment ago while running the program. I'm not sure whether it's related to the recent downtime, or just a generic Starcraft II crash, since my program froze and crashed right after the drop, before even sending me to score screen.

According to the ToS, Blizzard can revoke your account for running SC2. However, it's never going to happen. Please leave this discussion to your own thread and don't harm our excellent coding community.
