I guess there is no such thing in US/Western Europe countries  Usually such lags occur if you had a significant packet loss. It seems that Bnet 2.0 uses the same crappy netcode as SC1 and WC3, and this code cannot handle packet loss. To verify, press Win-R, type "ping eu.battle.net -t", wait for few minutes, then press Ctrl-Break. More than 5% packet loss means huge lags, 2-3% means some lag. You can't ping us.battle.net directly, so do the following: "tracert us.battle.net", find out the last IP address that allows ping (does not block ICMP traffic), and use that IP instead. It rather sounds like a router with bad quality of service. So when someone else is using your connection and surfing the internet or some program does a check in the background, the router prioritizes that instead of the sc2 traffic which is therefor delayed. If you want to simulate with ping packets, do not forget that a default ping packet is pretty small. You should increase the size with the -b option (calculate it depending on your bandwidth) and increase the default wait time accordingly (else it will display loss which is no real loss, just takes too long to transmit). On the other hand I have seen it a few times now that my opponent lags for 2-5 second when a new unit of me finishes production. Oo | ||

3.333 GHz 2.50 GB of RAM ATI Radeon HD 2400 Series Realtek HD Audio Output Every 5 min or so skips for 2-8 seconds, loops sound. Happens even in replays. I tried the recommendation of going into the registry to find dirtycache file, but it wasn't there, am I doing something wrong? For anyone wondering the minimum requirements are: PC Minimum Requirements: • Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7 • 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor • 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7 • 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card • 1024x768 minimum display resolution • 4 GB free hard space (Beta) • Broadband connection | ||

For me that didnt work out, tough I had perfectly working hardware. I use Windows 7 so I finally decided to reinstall the whole client making sure I ran it "as Administrator". Worked out for me and since then it works flawless. Hope it may helps  Yah the original thread can be found here: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23307770702&sid=5000&pageNo=2 I did this, but my video card still goes wild whenever SC2 is open. I'm using an nVidia 8800 GTS | ||

Try pressing ctrl + alt + f to show your current FPS. If your FPS is dropping low then it is your CPU that is overheating and is probably down clocking itself, There are a couple free programs to see how hot your CPU is getting that may also be the cause. If it isn't your FPS then it may be the network that you are on and you are just having bad network traffic. Hope this helps. | ||

My CPU temperature and my network traffic are also fine Some of my mates experience the same lag now But somehow only my german mates are affected, maybe it's a regional problem regarding the server? ~edit~ The game freezes for 0.5-2 seconds and then runs with 6x speed untill it cought up That happens frequently all 5-10 seconds | ||
