Its pretty funny to see that almost no one in this topic mentions lost packets. 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

Maybe it's a BNET2.0 problem... or what SilverSeraphim mentioned about dust buildup in graphics cards. I clean out my graphics card pretty often for the reasons he gave.

lag started today, not only for me but for many others in germany (or eu probably),
so it has to do with blizz eu server.

just hope they can fix it quickly

This exact thing happens to me sometimes, it's really annoying and I can't fix it.

I'm having the exact same problem.

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

I have a quiet shitty internet connection, and for me it lags for 1 second every 10 seconds.

With other games I usually dont get this, just have a quite big delay.
And all is illuminated.

same problem as the OP. I'm starting to think it's just a bug in the beta... Nobody have any solutions yet? The Battle.net thread didn't say much either.
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

There are new Nvidia beta drivers out, maybe try them just incase. I have friends that have nearly the same thing and they also said they were SURE it wasn't HW lag. This seemed to solve it for them!

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I've stumbled a couple of weeks ago over a thread with a comparable issue in which somebody recommended to add

framecap=60

to the settings file in the Starcraft II Beta folder on MyDocuments.

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:

I did this, but my video card still goes wild whenever SC2 is open. I'm using an nVidia 8800 GTS

What type of lag?

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.

Ok, i just checked the FPS and it doesn't drop
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

I have the same problem. My housemate and I share an Internet connection, and he never gets the lag, so I don't think it's a problem with the Internet Service Provider. My theory was that it has something to do with loading a new graphic or sound. For example, when my second Overlord pops out, it could have a slightly different model during the 0.2 seconds it takes to "grow" to full size. Similarly, when you create a new unit for the first time, you may need to load a new sound--for example, "Thor is here."
