When I play SC2, it feels like there's a slight lag when I place down my buildings and the buildings actually begin to get built for example. That's just internet latency (ping). Jitter and packet loss can also negatively affect ping. Starcraft 2 also has a pretty big in-engine delay whenever you give commands, even with good latency, but there (at least used to be) is a way to play the game offline and play it without that. I think you can still do it for the campaign | ||

I know cable isn't good with regards to ping but I don't want to switch to VDSL either as that would easily cost me $200 up front. | ||

or if playing the campaign offline isn't laggy then that means your ping must be bad someone at your home might be watching youtube or something | ||

However there's over a 100ms lag when playing sc2 for me because of server and the engine. | ||

I'm getting similar results on pingtest except that I have anywhere from 3ms to 5ms jitter.

Do you have any idea how to fix that? I'm on a laptop usage means less fan noise for me. (i5-3210M, GT 650M, 8GB RAM 1600MHz, 180GB Intel SSD 330) Thanks! Enable hardware acceleration if you haven't already done so. Make sure the browsers and Flash is all up to date. Make sure you have the latest NVIDIA drivers as well. | ||

How can you tell that you have 100ms lag in SC2? I'm getting similar results on pingtest except that I have anywhere from 3ms to 5ms jitter. It's easy to ballpark it visually if you know what you're doing, but for confirmation you can record the game at 100fps with nvenc with no notable change to performance. Then each frame is 10ms apart - you can see a click and unit doesn't move until 9-10 frames later. I can't remember the exact numbers but they're fairly huge. With offline mode, unit moves in 1-2 frames and not like 8-10. Other RTS and Moba style games also don't share sc2's sluggish unit response. It was really noticeable for everyone back when blizzard released the challenge mode map with all of the micro challenges, and they were much easier to complete/practice in offline mode. Stuff like stutter stepping banshee without taking any damage from chasing marines. The higher ping you have, the worse it will be anyway. There's just a certain amount of guaranteed delay because of the engine and the tick rate or whatever. The delay that you feel could just be that guaranteed delay, or a large ping on top of that (due to large ping, an unexpected variance in ping, dropped packets etc) | ||

I am dealing with a blue screen problem under Win 7 . Well at random times my Pc just crashes and a blue screen appears , it's been going on for a while now. the pc reboots normally and everything is fine afterwards but I dont really know the cause for it. I formatted my pc one but not because of the bluescreen issue it still continues anyway. I would be glad if you can help me . If you need any information I can give them to you. | ||

Try removing one of your memory sticks for a day or two. If it still bluescreens, plug that one back in and remove the other one. Keep doing that one at a time until you've tested all the memory sticks. This is assuming there is no pattern, rhyme, or reason for the bluescreens. Of course if it always bluescreens when you do some certain thing then it could be related to something else, like a graphics card whenever you launch a game. Or your USB controller whenever you plug in something. But if it's truly "random" it might be the memory. | ||
