Hi, i have a minimum 182 ping on all battle net servers, my ISP is good (most people in my country uses it) and I've forwarded my ports correctly, custom games don't lag however (only in broodwar). and my internet speed is 10MB/s.

Warcraft 3 - ladder games lag unplayable. 2seconds after respond, etc.
Starcraft 2 - a bit hard to baneling micro. (sc2 is pretty fine, just 140).
and Broodwar - terrible terrible lag on all servers, not only bnet.

Tried pinging battle.net manually

sent - 4
received - 2
lost - 2
(50% loss)
ZvP me if you can :P

182 ping means that you will have 0.182 second delay, take that as you will.

Please post computer specs.

edit *Also 50% packet loss is AWFUL, you should have near to 0% packet loss o.o

You also can ask your ISP to check your routing to the bnet servers. 182ms are kinda ok, but if you lose packages while sending/recieving, it sucks even harder.
Maybe it is messed up due to that reason

As others have said, that 50% loss is almost certainly the problem. Maybe try pinging a few more times (ping <url> -n <10 or 20 or something>) and see if it stays that high.

Just 140! Try playing from Australia, 400ping to SEA and 300 ping to USA! I don't think 140 is something to complain about for SC2

yeah guys i have 2 accounts (NA and EU) and id be interested to know what are my pings for the 2 servers.
can someone post the address that we shoud ping (i think anyone here can search how to check the ping, so we just need the address/server to ping to) .

My regular ping on iccup is about 380-420 and i never lag (only ip conflicts). Ping is not really that important unless you have a 800+ ping.

About packets lost, its normal. Most high speed internet have some packages lost. Especially if you are far away from your internet provider and the speed he gives you is 2 high for the internet provider to cope with at that particular distance.

Im assuming you get your internet with a cable, not wifi/mobile usb sticks.

haha totally with honga on this one, 182 is perfectly fine. i get about 600 to KR 300 to NA and about 400 to SEA. do bear in mind that the game has 100ms latency built into the game in multi player.

To get your ping:

Start->Run->"CMD.exe" -> Type "tracert battle.net" the last hop is your ping.

For the SEA battlenet server type "tracert sea.battle.net"

So I'd imagine EU is EU.battle.net

How the hell do you control a muta stack? I have massive issues on like 100 ping that are nonexistant on LAN, to the point of almost being flat out unable to control mutas in a meaningful way. Im not really any good at brood war, never played vs anyone other than a few friends, but i cant see muta control of anywhere near "normal" high level being possible at all on more than like 150-200ms. At the very least, if you compensated for it ahead of time so you always hit your attack timings etc, the added reaction times would screw you up very badly.

I can't play sc2 w/ anything over 100ms.
check pingtest.net to a few close servers, to check if it's an issue with your ISP.

This is because of the built in delay in wc3, ladder games and custom games have an built in delay of 250ms.
The delay in custom games are usually solved by the host using specific hosting tools, the delay on ladder games however is unavoidable. Most bot(ghost) hosted custom games should be delay free.

SC2 shouldn't have this problem and I don't know if BW has a built in delay as that game was before my time.
As stated by others, 50% packet loss is a LOT and most probably the cause of the lag.

As i said, ISP is probably not the problem, my modem (router) kinda sucks, so that could be the problem. I will try to restart it with saving config files if a conflict would happen.

Yep, sometimes we're in first place, sometimes in 2nd :D

I pay about 25$ per month.
max speed in Lithuania is 200mb/s.

that would cost about 50$ monthly.

I don't see why it would be your router or modem if your latency to other places around the world isn't half as bad as it is to battle.net, but I honestly have no idea what it could be. Do you have a laptop or other computer you can try these tests on to see if they get the high latency to battle.net too? I doubt everyone in Lithuania has this problem, so it can't be an ISP/internet thing, and I don't see your router would suddenly crap out on traffic heading just to battle.net unless you got QoS priority on something else (do you?) you're running. That really only leaves a problem at your computer end.

Quite possibly it could be my PC's fault, since it's quite old... Hah, nvm, i was already planning to buy a new - Monstrous one

with core i7 and all that good stuff
btw the viruses could cause that, i will try to cleanup

FYI i7 over i5 wont actuly improve game performance while costing you like $100 more

Who the fuck cares, my computer's performance has decreased by 70% and i'm still using buggy Windows XP with those messed up updates, which try to improve the code...
