I'm having lots of lag as well, or rather lots of delay. Never had any problems before patch 1.4

Really hoping for a quick bugfix, cause it's totally unplayable as it is.

fuck this.

also i'd prefer not having to defrag my whole disk because of this :/

You should be defragging every now and then anyways to keep a stable, smooth running system, thats why it takes so long, is that you dont do it enough. I defrag once every few weeks and it takes about 5 min for 3TB of drives to go through it....

I get lag only upon completion of the game. When it gives me the victory screen I lag for 15 seconds before it will send me back to the menus.

I'm getting the opening game lag... Losing the first 5 seconds of the game is rather crucial.

Im getting lag every game, however if i spectate or watch a replay i dont lag. Supposedly there are some issues with APM Peripherals causing the lag, and i do use the two razer products. I hope they fix this shit, its literally impossible to play a game.

Same here guys, even in the early game 1v1's im dropping down to 15-30fps just randomly sometimes even further. I usually run on 150fps in the early game.

Game's okay for me, but the battle.net interface is impossibly laggy.

Everyone seems to be having a problem with lag in 1.4 but I don't have it at all.

I had lag yesterday, not using APM peripherals but I do use Razer. It feels like if I'm playing on korean server or something. I've had some drops of FPS that is not normal (pre 1.4) but the lagspikes are quite (Very) annoying. If I hit stim f ex, it will take 1-2 seconds to active which obviously is horrible in many situations.

Yeah, my graphics seemed to lag in a 2v2.. but that could be my computer getting old. HOWEVER, there IS an issue with the sound for sure with this patch.

Edit: I have a razer product as well

I have one of the crapiest computers that you can still barely play SC2 on and I am almost playing with everything on lowest (by variablles.txt, even lower than possible with in-game settings) and I noticed no extra lag at all after 1.4. So there is probably some kind of interplay between the issue and your hardware. Maybe now I get some advantage, as I am used to SC2 working like crap for me and the others aren't

Updating the Banshee Driver to 1.2 resolved the issue on my gf's PC.

Give that a shot

How I got the lag to go away!:
Contact Blizzard Tech support and via bnet and follow the directions to send them your systems specs and diagnostic.
I got a response from them in ten minutes with a link to a website where I can update the driver for my video card and I downloaded it and restarted my PC and the lag and sound issues were gone!
Blizzard Tech support is awesome!!!

Note: I run all settings on ultra and extreme and never had lag issues before patch 1.4.0 and this fixed the issue! I also use razor spectre and maurauder with no problems since the fix!

Hope this works for everyone else!

For about the first couple games I play it's pretty laggy/choppy, but it appears to fade after that. This is new to the 1.4 patch for me.

The first game is usually pretty bad with 5-6 game seconds already on the clock when I first see the map on my screen.

I just play a few warm up customs before I hit ladder.
