I was getting extreme choppiness last night, I thought it was my video card overheating. Played again today and same thing. I don't have any of the SC2 APM gear. Sucks.

ya I don't have any "APM gear"

Just a Kinzu and a laptop. Nothing else running cept SC2, and still getting random 5-10 second freezes then everything speeds up.

Just lost a game 100% due to this, move command units wouldn't respond till they all died.

Fuck this game.

I dont really have lag in the games, but all of my games start at the 6 second mark. The screen freezes and then speeds up to about 6-8 seconds in. Kinda annoying how you start from behind

I'm not getting this in 1v1 aside from maybe a longer than normal pause at the start, but 4v4 is almost unplayable now after being perfectly smooth before. What it feels like is pausing to load textures/models when big groups of units first appear on the screen. I'm on low settings for the FPS, and this is pretty ridiculous to happen on low.

Ive got "lag" issues since the last patch.
I use a Laptop a Samsung R480 with Intel i3 2.13 gHz M330 (i think its 1GB Vram) 6GB Ram, and i havent experienced any issue with lag prior this patch.
Run the game in mid quality just to avoid the ocassional decrase on FPS, but honestly i have been fooling around with my game config and i cant find the solution, seems it runs the same way on low graphics as in high... and no, it aint internet speed issues.

I've been having issues intermittently with it lagging like crazy for the first 20 or so seconds of every game and then big hangups throughout. This never used to happen. I have 50 megabit down/5 megabit up internet and a PC that can run the game on ultra smoothly so it isn't my hardware or connection. It even happens in custom games against people who live close to me and have good internet connections as well. It can be quite frustrating when it lags so hard that my workers don't start mining until 30 seconds into the game, and my forcefields are not instant and 20 zerglings run into my mineral line.

People still having this issue? I've had it since 1.4 and it's still been bugging me so badly. Currently, the game is playable for me but it still feels very slow and unresponsive. I'm not getting the extreme performance and fps drops that most people are complaining about but I am getting a decrease in fps nonetheless. First off, I bought this laptop because it basically ran Starcraft on low settings perfectly without hiccup and now it's been laggy for the longest time. I really wanted to bump this thread because I'm sure other people have the same gripe...

I do have some quirkiness at the start of nearly every game, it's not because of the computer (core i5 and radeon 6950) and it's not because of my network since it didn't do that before 1.4.
Basically the game is fine, no lags or anything during it but at the start after the loading screen it lags, making it hard to split drones correctly. It's the kinf o lag where the screen freezes for a split second and then jumps ahead very fast.

Thought I was the only one, I get quite frequent freezes and then the action seems to try to catch up in fast forward mode. I also seem to get a lot of HDD thrashing during all of this (defragged and everything, so that's not it). I never had any issues with this before 1.4 and I ended up blaming it on sc2 gears at first, but I still get it when I don't have it running...

I love how blizzard makes patches that bugs the game even more. how would you call a society behaving like that?

Have Blizz mentioned anything more on this issue, I'm experiencing it pretty bad, even in 1v1s where before I could play 4v4s up to lategame relatively smoothly

Yeah I've been noticing some FPS drops as well. Cool to see that other people are having the same problems.

I'm playing on low settings with pretty decent specs to run well. I remember being able to run on medium quite well.

No certain SC2 hardware or whatever.

I finally found out a big problem to my PC of why it's been lagging since patch 1.4, but it's not the only problem.

My computer still has shader problems or something, like when a rax finishes or the first scv is about to come out, it'll lag...

Still not fixed, even tho it was in the patch notes for 1.4.1 =/

FIX PLEASE BLIZZARD T_T

I would call that humbling. Westerners have this assumption that we should always be progressing socially and technologically through technical interventions. The history of science suggests that technical solutions routinely produce untended consequences in the form of new problems. When Blizzard solves problems, new ones might be created in the process. Sure I want a perfect game. But I don't believe in the possibility of a perfect game--nor a perfect society.
