Latency is packetloss. When its on extra-high latency there are less packets sent per second to minimize data-transfer, when there's just latency or 'lag' in a game pretty much the same thing happens except that its trying to send more packets which leads to lag (I think) (Thats also why turning on extra high latency in a micro game is completely retarded) | ||

If you still don't understand, here a concrete BW example: In a laggy game, you order a marine to move. After half a second, it moves. Thats 500 ms of lag/ping/latency, whatever you want to call it. | ||

Please stay on topic As I've said before, this bug CAN be exploited especially in long games...cause its not that hard to do. | ||

True, but also, who is that "FOCUSED" on doing the bug, that wil pay more attention on doing a silly bug than being worried about killing expas, making units, microing your units, trying to not get fucked already? I know it is easy to do, but I do not think that much people will bother to do this in serious games. | ||

Ok for those who wanna try this out offline (and don't know how to), make a lan game vs a computer and when you want to do the trick set it to extra high latency. I've been playing around with this trick like trying it on different units etc. For example if you morph an archon, then use the trick to give it a "cancel" command, youll crash sc by trying the cancel the morph. YOu'll also crash sc trying to "cancel" a siege tank which is siegeing/unsieging. But the most disturbing thing I found was that you can use the trick on opponents buildings, giving you the ability to tell the building speicific commands. I've only so far been able to set the rally point of a computer's barracks and command center so far by using a dark templar (you can use any unit cause all you need to do is right click and it sets the rally point) but I'm sure if you use the same building and do the trick you'll be able to make the opponent building build units and cancel them etc. I'm gonna try this out on bnet with a friend now to see if it works on bnet and not just vs computer. | ||

Or like...fuck up their build. You don't want your mass hydra/ling strategy countered by his templar building? Make him warp in goons instead! Go 6fact vult and change his goon unit production to zealot unit production. lmfao | ||

I tested it out with this guy on bnet and yeah the siege tank cancel thing crashes bw easy. So if you don't want to play vs someone, just get a siege tank with siege mode ability and BOOM lol. | ||
