Not sure if this is a common issue or just BNET servers acting up but I've been noticing some really annoying hiccups in game every 5-10 seconds (usually most frequent at the start of a game). I've been using the preloader as well but that doesn't seem to fix it. I can't recall having this problem before and I'm using FIOS so I highly doubt that it's my internet. I've also loaded up some replays but there's no problems in them.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on, or are Blizzard's servers just under too much stress after the HOTS launch?
I have had no such issues. You shouldn't assume the servers are broken globally because three people in a community of what, a million players have reported issues, all on the US server.
Lowered FPS in campaign is just high stress on CPU, lack of optimization etc in a few areas, maybe higher GPU load than playing the game normally but im not sure about that.
Been having this issue since beta. Basically when the game starts I get an upwards of 12 spikes per minute the first few minutes then it slowly crawls down to 0. This happens almost every game. Ping is fine. Download and upload is fine. This is the only game where I have this issue.
This is not just in the US, my brother and I (who live in different houses, but play 2v2) both experience lagspikes at the same moment during matches. We are talking about spikes of 0,5-3 seconds of freeze. He just got a new monster of a pc with windows 8 and I have a 2 y/o one with windows 7. In addition to that, we also have different providers.
So this is obviously a battle.net server problem.
However, since we both experience it, I'm guessing the enemy does too, which evens it out. It's still annoying though.
BTW: I feel sorry for that cat, can't this guy see she is frozen in fear? =(

Day 2 still no DC after trying it. Amazing :D
Agent only had like 6gb to download, and it started weeks ago, also pretty much everyone had problems (gotta go back to launcher download and finish, or exit the downloader, agent.exe)
I can run single player seamlessly, but whenever I try to do something else I get lag spikes that make the game completely unplayable. Even running a custom game vs AI or a training guide, it still spikes terribly. I tried the repair tool and shutting down agent.exe but it hasn't helped. Has been happening ever since the 2.0.5 patch
edit: finally did a fresh install and it seems to have fixed it.
I have the same problem. I get huge lag spikes every 5th minute and they last for about 5 seconds. The game is also very laggy overall when i'm playing.
Never really had problems with ingame lagspikes with WoL, been getting some weird ones, only on ladder / vs friends though, not against bots, if that helps anyone.
