It seems Blizzard neglected to call timeBeginPeriod, which means unless some other application requests a higher timer resolution, BW will run at the default resolution which makes short delays impossible. This is possibly why the new patch seems to make BW "laggy".
If you experience CPU lag / frame skipping / etc, give this a try and see if it gives you different values for the timer resolutions before and after.
Download:

Instructions:
Run BroodWar, then run timerInfo.exe. If the new cur value is lower, your CPU issues might be fixed. The timerInfo will need to remain open for the new resolution to remain set. If this does indeed fix the issue, I'll turn this into a Chaos plugin. If your old and new cur values are different, please reply with what they are as I'm curious as to how the default resolutions are determined.

Wow THANKS A LOT!
I might try 1.16.0 now, but someone should see how this works..
R1CH you are truly a genius. Thank you<3
|
Have you posted this on battle.net forums?
|
No, this is only a hunch at the moment. I haven't been able to test it since 1.16 runs fine for me - but my default resolution is 1ms.

It means your timer resolution is already as high as it can be, so you shouldn't be having CPU lag issues.

Try running it after lag shows up, and see if it fixes it at all,

I believe Pop animates as well. And to be fair, Nazgul's can stab into people's sigs.
EDIT: Thanks, R1CH, I'll try this as soon as I get home

I get the same values, and I still get lag.
 ?
|
You know, if someone can confirm that this fixes the CPU lag issues, r1ch could make this into a chaoslauncher plugin and we could all start using 1.16...
Someone who has lag issues with 1.16 only, please try this and report results.
edit: funkie just posted lol

what are the values, the cur= should be about 1 ms each
|
min= 15.60ms
max=0.50ms
cur=1.00ms
On Both New and Old.

Are you talking about CPU lag or UDP/bnet latency? Eg, if you run a replay at 16x, is it really fast and smooth and responsive?
