Sorry to bother you guys with a stupid question, but I'm trying to play Starcraft on a Windows 10 computer, and I'm running into a frustrating problem. When I click on a server to join, I get an error message as I'm connecting, saying "Your Internet connection is either very poor or is not processing UDP packets through port 6112", after which I can login, but can't host or join games. I'm not very good with this stuff, but I've tried my best to troubleshoot. I disabled my firewall, but still get the same error. I don't think the problem is with my router because I don't get stuck at this point when I try to connect to a server on an old Windows 7 computer that I have. I had this same problem with this computer when I was on Windows 8, so I don't think it's a W10 specific problem, but I can't think of what's messing it up.

If you guys have any suggestions of things I can try to get Starcraft working, I'd be really grateful.

What internal IP is set to forward port 6112? If it's a different system that might explain it

Thanks for your reply, Winter. In the past on this network, I've used MCAlauncher and haven't had to deal with port forwarding directly. Do you happen to know if the UPnP operation that MCALauncher performs is separate from setting internal IPs to forward 6112? (Again, I'm totally stupid about networking stuff.)

If you have a green check mark for UPnP upon launching StarCraft with mca64Launcher, it should be working just fine.

Hey man,


Have you actually forwarded the ports on your router? I would start there...Also check out this thread:

This is a problem that's been plaguing US East for months now, even I can't get around it. It's likely a problem on Blizzard's end.

Ok, that's interesting. Out of curiosity, have you noticed any pattern in what systems have this problem?

Fortunately, I can still play on my W7 computer, but it's a bit of a dinosaur by this point.

Generally people don't write much detailed information about their systems or other stuff, I just know that it's at least affecting people in the U.S. and Europe despite ports being open.
