SelfProclaimedGosu set latency to Low So, what _ARE_ the differences? Is it written down by blizzard anywhere? What are the actual technical differences? Thanks. | ||

anyway isn't it obvious why your opponent doesn't want extra high? | ||

I never noticed a difference between them.. maybe I'll try it sometime.. BTW..

So what people are saying above me are right, you can't micro as well because the unit responds like 2 seconds later than if it was on low latency. | ||

low latency sends out very very small packets of information very frequently. hence it will be a tad laggier because the server will be looking for the information almost instantly, and if it doesnt come, it will pause and wait for the info to come extra high latency is similar to the shock memory on a CD player. It operates a few seconds behind so that, if any information lags behind slightly, it has about a second or two to catch up. This poses a problem because essentially, no matter what, your micro, macro, and etcetera will always be a second or so behind in any game. Which basically means you will always lose zerglings to storm in extra high latency. low latency is nice because the server will wait for all your commands, at the cost of the lag box coming. gogo low latency | ||

extra high latency = bad high latency will make Day appear on your doorstep. He will be just as bewildered as you are, so give him a cup of coffee. If Day says something rude, smack him one, as it is an error and can be fixed in this manner. If your Day needs feeding press the Blue button. If your Day needs discipline, hit the Red button. If your Day dies, you will be held accountable and charged with manslaughter. | ||
