How true is this? Is it totally true, mostly true, or only passingly true?

2v2s definitely lag for me but they're not unplayable, and I always create. Sometimes they're just fine.

I haven't done anything with port forwarding at all, nor do I have any idea how. I also play both at home and in my lab at the university.

I've had issues with not having ports forwarded in the past. (I had a weird router, eventually I paid $20 from portforward.com to get it done). I was never able to be in a game with more than 1 other player. The not port forwarded games are like, one second takes 5 seconds and adjusting the latency makes no difference.

Ahh. Thanks for the anecdote.

I wonder if it's some combination of (1) the remaster fixed some things (2) something changed with how routers usually work, and (3) I play in Wine on Linux, and Linux does something different.

It's definitely laggier 2v2 but not unplayable, just hangs for half a second every five seconds at worst.

Still wonder if I could make it better, but searching "port forward Linux" led me to some sites with some of the things I've understood the least in my entire life, and I do plenty of programming for grad school LOL.

There's UPDATE on first page that blizzard change turn rate from 12 to 10 today. But it's still not working for me. Too much lag. How about you guys?

You sure it's been changed? I know they are supposed to do it today but haven't said a time yet.

Personally I had no issue at all with turn rate 12. Didn't really notice a difference either though. Hopefully they got some good data.

Since the last patch, ladder has been totally unplayable for me.

1) Every game lags like crazy
2) it seems disconnects are no longer counted as losses???

I dropped a lot of points on ladder because people are disconnecting, they see 2 gate proxy - disc, they lost 2 reavers for free - disc, they lost their army - disc, lost nat - disc.

Over 1/2 of my wins have been disconnects with no stats. All of my losses have been removing points because I'm not disconnecting.

turn rate 12 was mostly great for me it felt like playing on lan most games, setting to extra high vs korea usually worked fine.

Jesus Christ it's completely unplayable now. Just make Korea Server TR 16 and everything else 8. I had like 2 laggy games in 200 games played on remastered, now it's super laggy every game.

As I suggested previously, the real solution is if Blizzard provides servers for hosting games. That's my opinion. It seems to work well for SC2. You'll almost never have better internet than some corporation like Blizzard. However, they can afford high download/upload speeds.

That's not a very good solution. In SC2, you can't play on the Korean server without very long delay from NA, so players are stuck on their own or nearby servers. It's the same effect as region locking the ladder, and without Koreans to play against there's no point in playing at all for many people.
