Somewhere on teamliquid someone created a batch file that kills explorer, pings your machine, then launches chaoslauncher and forces the starcraft.exe process to one core. Search it up, it definitely helped for me (although i do experience occasional crashing and the game is a little laggy, it's a lot better than it used to be.) Found it and tried it, didn't work. It's happening on my windows XP laptop as well which leaves me to believe its a problem with my ISP. | ||

I had a weird colour issue (alt tab didn't work) as well as a problem connecting to battlenet. after a crapload of searching, I tried going to task manager > the processes tab > disabling explorer.exe > going file > new task (run) and running the exe from the directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft\StarCraft.exe). Fixed both problems, hooray! maybe this will help you too. thank you so much. I've had color problems all the time and this works for me on win 7 asus eee 901 | ||

Note this is all on B.net i haven't tried iccup so that might work 1. Latency issues a 2 sec lag to actions (makes the game retarted to play. Micro is so hard) 2. Crashing after a game is complete( Once a game ends my computer freaks out and gets werid colors and i have to restart to get it back to normal) 3.Not really being able to host games (Connecting to other players) I see something about Fowarding the port or something to fix this but i'm a complete noob with computers could somebody give me some pointers to where to even start? | ||

1) Open up a command prompt (windows search in the bottom left corner and type in cmd) 2) In the command prompt type "ipconfig" 3) Check the results to find the IP address (in the format of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of your default gateway. If you have multiple network adapters (hamachi drivers or wired + wireless connection on a laptop for example), make sure you find the IP address of the default gateway for the adapter you use to connect to the internet through. It's usually labed "Ethernet adapter local area connection" or something along those lines for a wired connection. Most default gateways have an address of 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.254, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.0.254. 4) Punch that IP address into your web browser as an URL to access your router's GUI page. 5) From there, forward the 6112-6119 ports to your PCs IP address (which will be listed along with your default gateways IP address in the command prompt), using http://portforward.com/ to find a guide specific to your router model. | ||

To host games do the port forwarding thing. To stop crashing... you gotta do some workarounds since most ppl w/ windows 7 experience crashes. See the earlier posts. | ||

Overall the game almost always feel laggy when I host, I really don't know what to do to fix it. I've tried disabling all my antivirus/firewall it made no difference. My ports 6112 to 6119 on TCP and UDP are already forwarded which allows me to host, the only problem problem is that it's laggy :s. Any clue to fix this? I'am on windows 7 and using the iccup launcher. | ||

I have the same problem, and I've tried making a new thread, but nobody seems to have an answer other than the fact that the bnet servers suck. But I don't think this is the issue since players online don't have delay and neither does my friend who also just got back into brood war. I've tried everything in this thread and nothing has helped. If anyone out there has any idea what is causing this, your input would be greatly appreciated. I too have windows 7, I do not lag at all on ICCUP servers, but I would much rather prefer to play on U.S. East if possible because of the popular of UMS maps there. | ||

Using Intel video drivers, all the compatibility settings enabled,WinXp SP3, admin, 640x480, CPU throttling, etc. I remember that it used to run flawlessly at some point -- but then I started having these issues and a clean reinstall did not fix the issue. With or without MCA launcher. Any ideas? Has someone figured this out? Do people play in VMs or do I have to downgrade to WinXP? I have the ports forwarded as well. Could this be an ISP issue? Hey fazek, Do you have this issue on/all ICCup or only Battle.Net official servers? (a distinction from the OP) You say you're using Intel Video Drivers, am I correct in assuming your GPU (graphics card) is just your CPU being used for your graphics? Are you using a laptop or a desktop? Have you checked that your ports are actually open (even after forwarding?) If not try using PFPortChecker, you can get the newest version from portforward.com, if it doesn't work try this older version which I know works for win7. I've been using win7 for 6years and haven't encountered this problem yet, so I would not be too fast on thinking it's an OS issue especially cause many people have been playing with win7 without this issue cropping up. | ||
