Help me TL! Give me your energy . .and all that ascii what follows!

I first went through the technical support of blizzard and after 3 days, my thread has 0 responses, always seems this way, i can suggest 2-3 things for nearly every topic on there, straight up fix 90% of all the silly complaints . . mine however NEVER seems to get any suggestions!

heres the problem

No matter what it is vs ai, matchmaking even tournaments, my game says error trying to connect. try again later.

then in the chat i get blue messages saying your status is locked. and some other times too many inputs

when playing the ladder and customs i can tolerate telling everyone to keep reinviting me, this isnt an issue. the issue is with tournaments, if the game hangs in this status, and you have no idea to tell if it is or not, i forfeit the match. This is the only main issue. i cant play tournies any more and this isnt good.

what ive tried

total reinstall. ALL 60bg of client and game.
Another reinstall when that didnt work, this time changing the install location
changed the replays folder
tried a 32 bit client over the 64
cried.

can you guys help?

Did you try turning your PC off and on again ?

just kidding.

Maybe you have internet problems, check your firewall, call your internet provider, call blizzard technical support directly, not in the forums... etc.

It couldn't be a RAM issue could it?

( I have same issue and have 2x4 sticks of ddr4)
Brother has 4x4 and no issues, and a friend has 2x8 and no issues.

rSade: i dont think it is a ram issue, that would result in nasty crashes, and not only in sc, but in your favourite web browser as well.

there was a bug where it did not delete old PTR data. I think you can look up how to find the folders to delete. It should only be around 30gig. Fresh install might be a good idea if you havn't since 2010 (use something like revo uninstaller to make sure you get all the small things, and check app_data and documents)

Try creating a new account and see if it's a profile issue.

If you don't have the same issue with another account then it could be a large friend list?
