I have the same problem as the previous poster- i drop every 2nd game or so for simply no reason. My Internetradio still runs whereas HotS just disconnects me after 5 seconds lag in the game. If i don't disconnect it's just lagging so bad that i sometimes loose games clearly won. I really hope this will end when the finished game comes out- I'm still a bit glad that i am not the only one who has this horrible issues.

edit: I'm on EU too btw

Yeah, now I drop every 2-3 games T.T. But the worst issue is stuttering while selecting probes, it may looks like minor problem but it is really huge. Beta is now unplayable for me, miss those early beta times when everything goes smooth like WOL :< .

I had same problems too, but maybe found a solution. i´m playing from europe (germany) with the enUS client. game had terrible lags ~ 5-10 sec. now i installed the deDE client of the beta and i hadn´t one single lag in the last 5 games.

I have no delay but sometimes there are "network spikes" (press ctrl+alt+f to see if those occur). Is there any solution to those spikes? They potentially make the game unplayable. Any ideas?

What helps me sometimes is to relog. Most times the first 1-2 games run fluently, then it starts spiking (and getting worse). If i relog the problem sometimes is fixed, sometimes not. 15 days of beta left, they wont fix it until then.

It seems worst to me in evening (CET)

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The entire HotS beta is run on Blizzard's personal servers in California, so people in Europe are going to have crazy amounts of lag until it is released and distributed to the other server locations.

yea, try downloading another client. i had terrible lag in the evening for the past week and got really frustrated. then i deinstalled the beta, downloaded the german client(played with the english (US) one before) and now it is way better. i used to have 20-25 network spikes after ~6-7pm and yesterday evening it rarely went above 10. still a bit laggy but unlike before it is playable.

If Blizzard doesn't take any measures for the extreme lag that some people like me are getting in Europe, why should I buy Hots? The beta has lag spikes approximately every 15 seconds for at least 20 seconds. It's unplayable. I wonder if this will be the case also on Hots , when it will be released?

Beta servers are located in NA, 'normal' HOTS will have EU located servers. But still, stuttering and spikes im experiencing are 100% NOT connection problems. I will fucking hate blizz if they wont fix this.

The dropping of games is even more annoying imo.
I played High Masters in WoL and can't get above diamond in HotS simple because of dropping every 2nd game

this started to get really frustrating , today i had the most unlucky lagspikes ever, some examples:
1) rally a cloak banshee then my game freezes aaaaaaand its gone, like 3-4 times
2) do a 3ple drop vs meching player , uses boosters to get passed turrets , NOPE ur drops are all dead cuz of lagspike
3) lets lift that at the last second so he wastes time hitting it , juuuuust kidding and also fuck you too ^__^
4) countless shitstorm of lagspikes
Seriously guys how do i fix this ?

Hey guys!! I FIXED, yes FIXED COMPLETELY the problem!

All I did was restore my laptop to factory settings (rebooting), and I just copied the SC2HOTS beta folder from my brother and launched the game from there (not downloading any patches) and so far not sure if it matters but I also haven't joined any chat channels (just incase it screws up again).

I'm not sure whether or not it matters if I didn't re-download the patch after restoring/rebooting, I don't think it does though because when I copied the folder before and launched I still got the problem (before restoring to factory settings, therefore I think restoring is the only necessary step and you should be ok if you download the game from scratch etc).

hope this works for others to!

Pretty much impossible to play due to constant lag in hots.
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity
