EPTsc2(europe server) 110ms
bw(iccup) with lan latency 110ms
bw(europe server) without lan latency 420ms
i captured at 20 fps with camtasia on bnet/iccup vs computer, the single frames i watched with megui, i took the average of 5 actions.

Agreed. It's easy to do so get to it! Download Fraps (or similar), set it to the highest fixed FPS you can reliably achieve in game, then record a few seconds (the 30 second limit on the trial of Fraps is plenty) with a few clicks, take the average, and post! | ||

Of course not, I did it so we know it's not a hard-coded limit, and it will be easily bypassable by launchers like iccup's. | ||

This thread is kinda bogus, the reports on latency vary greatly between people. I think that those who have latency have it due to other reasons than B-net. As reported by the other guy b-net 2.0 have it set to 100 ms latency just like iccup and lans. I do guess that when it detects people having bad ping etc it increases the latency to make sure no unwanted lag occurs. | ||

I do guess that when it detects people having bad ping etc it increases the latency to make sure no unwanted lag occurs. I can play BW on iccup just fine. I also play HoN on EU servers where i get about 250ms, and HoN seems to be coded really well cuz the delay is negligible at that ping. On SC2, I get a full 1.5-2 second latency, which is ridiculous and unplayable. I'd be fine even with SC1 level latency, and would be more than happy with what HoN gives me, but SC2 right now is basically unplayable for me. Why is my latency on EU servers for SC2 in the range of 2 seconds when my ping is around 200-250ms? Doesnt make sense to me. | ||

I do guess that when it detects people having bad ping etc it increases the latency to make sure no unwanted lag occurs. We have two tested reports and they are different servers. Note that the guy who tested on the europe server had almost exactly the same results as I did when he tested on BW ICCUP and BW BNet Also note that I am directly comparing it to other games, so if it were the case that it was my internet connection, shouldn't HoN and Iccup be slower for me too? Of course it would be nice to have reports from more people that have done actual tests. | ||

While the method of determining the latency is hardly scientific anyone who has played sc2 can attest that there's a huge delay, bigger than iccup and in most peoples opinion unacceptable by today's standards. The real kick in the balls is that the game is region locked. You'd think the one advantage to that is less lag between your opponents since they are all in your general geographical area | ||

In fact it really depends on your internet connection relative to the location of the server and relative to the other person. Essentially lower latency should work better when all parties are close and have pretty much same internet connection or should i say similar packet loss(in the lower ranks) While higher latency would be better when more people with different internet connections at different and maybe not so close locations are playing. So I think that setting the latency as high as possible in the beta start is the best way to determine the lowest latency settings by the end of beta. So if Blizzard get statistical data of what latency works best for most of the people, that will be the set latency at game release. Of course they could change that after the game is released and having stats from millions of players. So my point is that the high latency should not worry anyone, especially in this stage of development. Blizzard is testing the servers and will do so for the whole time this beta lasts. In fact as I've explained above, having high latency in this beta stage is the best possible scenario for Blizzard to actually determine what the lowest latency can be and just drop it little by little. 1) I don't think they've lowered it at all. They definitely haven't been lowering it little by little. 2) Why not start with a latency that everyone is used to from ICCUP BW? I mean, tweaking it isn't really even a big deal. ICCUP BW is low enough to satisfy competitive players. It's high enough that people from different continents generally don't lag. Sounds like a gr9 starting point to me. | ||

I really hope they make BNET 2 have similar latency setting like HON or iCup, icup was awesome!  p.s. everyone who does not live in the US should be raging right now on blizz forums, ur gonna HATE the delay | ||

Eu server btw, playing from excellent broadband connection in sweden. On March 06 2010 02:38 CowGoMoo wrote: pretty high latency. I would be curious what the delay on EU servers is, since I have heard from my friends the lag isn't nearly as noticeable there. And even the guy from Blizz QA thinks its high, isn't that kind of ironic.. | ||
