So give those programs a try! ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/gesA7.png) are you actually in a game or sitting in battle.net Beta Patch 13 UDP is enabled to help improve game performance. | ||

However, I retested it with a custom game and got the same results. Furthermore, I intentionally closed the TCP session and I was inmediatlly dropped from the game, so it's quite clear that the game was using that TCP session. Dunno about the patch though. UDP might mean another thing?? It's not clear. | ||

I feel you OP. Do whatever you can to lower your ping. I myself can't 'cos China internet sucks so bad, there is nothing I can do T_T | ||

One thing to add to this is that a lot of games actually do not use that much bandwidth at all, 2mbit/s(0.250mb/s)+ is probably good enough for any online game. | ||

I suggest http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13581-LeatrixLatencyFix.html It lowers latency in blizzard games. Not much but anything can help. | ||

It is legit, I use it for WoW, but it doesn't do anything to the game itself. It does some stuff with your internet connection and increases incoming TCP packets  | ||

If you have a shitty connexion, you'd better not play online competitive games, it's unfair to your opponents who wish to play at the top of their capacities >.< (I had stopped playirg for a long time partly because of that :p) On topic, SC2 is 100% unplayable with the slightest lag. Like is any game requiring precise execution and having its roots in it (VS fighting games are 200% unplayable online as an example. Editors try but any decent player will tell you it's a different game than offline game). Not correct, for the most part. If an American plays vs me on Korea, he will have some latency but I wont feel any, and vice versa. If hes actually lagging to the point where hes almots dropping, then yeah, hed be a problem but thats not the issue  | ||

I really thought your opponent had something to do, as I have already experienced a lag and am living 10kms from Bnet servers (France, Velizy), with a very good connection (8ms ping to google servers). Bnet 2.0 is so confusing >.< | ||

In the Battle.net help guide it says that it uses 1119 TCP port, and the 1119 UDP port but fof voice chat. So that tool might do something. Also, if you're using a wirelesss connection, then it's likey you're lagging a bit more than if you're wired. Well you were'nt here during beta... Sc2 uses UDP... | ||

Blizzard says it and it was confirmed with a port scanner. Also, It MUST use TCP otherwise it wouldn't make sense. TCP checks that the data was received correctly. UDP doesn't. So, imagine sending data of the position of your Marines and not getting acknowledgements that it was recieved ok. It would be a mess! In contrast, with TCP, even though it can take a while (latency), there's no data loss. Very few applications (like DNS) use UDP for this reason. It doesn't matter anyways | ||

1. Pay for a decent ISP that allows interleaving off 2. Do the TckAckFrequency registry edit (google latency fix registry for instructions) 3. If you are still unsatisfied with your latency after step 1 & 2, pay for a vpn tunneling service like lowerping/pingbetter. Costs around $1 a month (afaik) and they have free servers you can trial first; can't guarantee that free servers aren't flooded though It's too late to type up a full step-by-step so google is your friend EDIT: Oh, and just by doing step 1 & 2 my latency decreased from around 250 to 150, as low as 130 with tunneling. Forgot to say I'm based in New Zealand. | ||
