Starcraft 2 definitely has an issue with card fans/over heating.

My GTX260 fan kept getting really loud after a while of starcraft sessions.. not long after the game would lag really bad. I'd go to restart but it would bluescreen+crash when starting back up..

took me a while to figure out it was a heating problem, but now im pretty sure it is because it would always come back after 15-20 of cooling off.

I'm not 100% sure if it was my cpu over heating, or my video card. I cleaned them both out and haven't had problems since... but I don't think i've been putting in as many starcraft hours.

I find that I get lag spikes every once in a while if I am NOT streaming the game xD

Same problem here, happened at least once in 3-4 games during weekend. I can normally move in game, select units and buildings, music keeps playing, similar to pause. Usually it just unfreezes, got also few "fast forwards" (quick catch up in time, looked like fastestx6 in rep) and two discs I think (both games were won

).

My connection is fine, so is my hw, I have new nvidia beta drivers etc. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I know it's an old topic, but here's a "fix" of some sorts in case anyone is still expierencing this weird stutter-thing

Here's a fix that I've found that works for me... (I don't understand why it works....)

Open up an internet browser and go to youtube then start the game.

I'm serious, it works for some reason....

As funny as it is, it did work for me.
It seems that now whenever I'm "supposed" to get this stutter, sound gets bugged, but screen only freezes for a split second instead for the full duration (3-5s).
Weird

TCP packets over UDP packets, this is the reason for the lag that seems unexplainable. Blizzard decided to support only TCP packets not UDP. TCP is the standard packet type (in other words at any given time there is a metric tonne of them populating the internet and/or most networks). UDP is a less common packet type often used for video games to avoid clutter with TCP packets. Blizzard really seems to have dropped the ball on this one.

Yeah SC2 killed my card, I had to get it RMA'd (gtx285).
