Hey all
I searched and couldn't find anything on this.
Lately I've noticed I've been getting up to a good second of delay at all times, in game, either on ladder, or vs AI.
What I mean by this is any action I perform, ie. Rallying my CC to a mineral patch, won't apply for a good second. This obviously has a huge effect on my play, as If I select an scv to perform a task, the select my CC and press "S" to build an scv, sometimes it will instead stop the scv from performing the original task.
Is this normal?
I'm playing on on low settings with low texture quality.
My rig is:
Q6600 2.4ghz quadcore
6gb DDR2
1gb GTX 460 OC
windows 7 64bit

How long has it been since you formatted your PC? maybe it just needs a defrag.

I'll give it a try and let you know if it works.
I installed an additional 2TB hdd yesterday, but that hasn't seemed to fix anything.

I have a near identical system, just 4GB ram though.. And I have absolutely no problem at low settings, especially none of what you've described.
I'm clueless on how to help you but as Onlinejaguar said, a defrag.. A disc cleanup etc etc might help you!

by vs AI you mean vs ai in multiplayer or singleplayer? There are two different things. I think what you describe would only occure in multiplayer matches. Try a game in singleplayer vs ai and if it doesnt lag/delay there reconfigure your firewall / antivirus software.

You can play 1v1 both "singleplayer" and "multiplayer".
Singleplayer you can play offline, multiplayer you can only create custom games, and so the lag could be result of a bad connection to the battle.net

Ahh, Multiplayer style.

Defrag didn't really help. Drive was only 2% fragmented

Try 1v1 singleplayer and see if you have the same lag
If you don't have lag in the singleplayer, then thee problem is probably your connection
You can also check your fps (ctrl+alt+f) and see if they're above normal (30+ should be acceptable, 60+ normal)
Edit.: your description of the problem really makes it sound like a connetion problem

It was to be expected that it wouldn't help. "Defrag your harddisk" is one of those standard tips that are thrown around whenever someone has any computer problem. It would only help if the game would be constantly accessing things from your harddisk (which it isn't) or if you had so little RAM that the computer has to use a swap file (which you don't). For SC2, disk fragmentation will only affect the initial loading time of a game (and not all that much).
Your current CPU is on the low-end side compared to your video card and amount of RAM, but it should still run SC2 on low settings without breaking a sweat. Make sure that there are no background processes eating up most of its power though.
But what's more likely, is a connection issue, like others have already suggested.

Sounds like you have a case of living with Australian internet. From what I understand, the SEA server is still located in the US so you'll probably experience a delay of around 0.3s to 0.5s when playing multiplayer. If it is significantly more than that, you might want to contact your ISP and see what's going on.
