I just want to add that enabling PC throttling (under settings) for all involved players will also sometimes decrease lag dramatically in some cases.

Sorry, but that guide is bullshit. 90% of the steps are unnecessary or even plain dangerous, and it doesn't fix the fact that 1:1 port mapping won't occur.

I haven't investigated it in much detail, but it would seem that simply setting the Game Data Port in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Battle.net\Configuration to a unique port per user and setting up the appropriate port forwards would be the correct fix.

I don't have such key as "Game Data Port"...Should I make it myself? If so, whats the type? Where do I put it?

Yes, if it doesn't exist in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Battle.net\Configuration you can make a new DWORD value called "Game Data Port". Make sure you set the decimal value to the port you forwarded.

i believe that the solution is just to simply disable the Windows Firewall service, not the program, and then to forward ports 6112 through both TCP/UDP in your router.

i suffered from extremely obnoxious Starcraft lag for about 2 years. i would lag every 2 or so minutes for a about 4 or 5 seconds each time. it seems nothing but at competitive level starcrafing, its like a medieval chinese torture. impossible to concentrate. i was fuckin raging and i had tried everything but nothing would work. the lag was extremely constant. Almost Like a Clock. until i realized that the simple fact of having a wireless connection was causing me all this shit. i went wired (with the same connection) and from then its been perfect. why my wireless was causing it, i have no clue. i dont know why some ppl are able to play wireless lag-free and im not. it was painful for 2 years but im really glad i was lucky enough to catch the fuckin' disease causing it. i went upstairs with a non-negotiable attitude and hijacked my dad's (our family's) combined 2wire router//modem, went downstairs, installed it next to my comp in my gaming room, went wired and enjoyed iCCup lag free on LAN latency ever since.

I have tried everything now, put port 63000 as Game Data Port in registry, forwarded according port in router and disabled firewall, nothing, still can't play when there are more than 2 players. Anyone have more ideas?

isnt it so that when u got a firewall blocking TCP UDP at ports 6112 - 6119 that you cant possibly even connect to bnet even if u do u get 6 red or something. a thing u forgot also that saves alot of configuration is just go to router settings and enable DMZ. that saves alot of troubles my friend. I wouldnt recommend to anyone having DMZ on if you are browsing alot of different sites you havent visited before or if u dont know how to keep urself protected from trojans and viruses. I myself never used any firewalls or anti viruses because i simply play BW and browse TL net and some 5-6 other sites. and i use vista.


DMZ opens one computer to all ports. Bad move, security wise.

--snip--

You're better off using port triggering in the router, and disabling all firewalls behind the router. You can leave the firewall on your router on, but leave the ones on your computer off. The router firewall is enough.

You use port triggering because when a computer wants that port (when it's trying to send packets through it), the router will open it up for that one connection. When the transmission on those ports stop, the port is automatically closed again.

Port forwarding leaves the ports constantly on. So even if you leave your computer firewall on (with those ports allowed), the ports are wide open to the internet.

Good job.

Hello everyone! Now i have known this thread for quite some time, since it fixed my lag in windows xp. I had tried everything and then this was the solution. So my problem now is exactly as described by the author, only difference is that now i am using a different OS.
I have Windows 7 now and can't make it work. I have tried to do the steps in 7 too, but it's just too different and complicated for me to apply this solution to the new OS. Could somebody help me out?

I am using this "old" thread because it perfectly describes my problem and has been the solution for me before. And apparently it's a network setup thing again, i just have no idea how to do these steps in 7.

Thank you,

chwat.
