Lag Problems

I've looked through a couple of topics regarding lag problems, and they either revolve around not being able to host or involve several people trying to use the same network to play SC, as I understand.

For me, it's different. I'm using a router and an internet card; there are no other computers in our network using SC. It seems I have normal browsing speed and with no problems. However, my ability to connect to battle net is... fluctuating with a period of about 5-10 minutes. If it's in the 'bad mood', I can't even access my account on b.net (the screen 'accessing account' just stays there until I press cancel). If it's in the 'good mood', I can connect, perhaps even join a game (not good enough to host, though), but will still lag the hell out of everyone in the lobby and game.

This is going on for several months now, but I clearly remember that when I first moved into the new room, I had no such problems.

What do you think is the problem and what may be its solution(s)?



None.

Bandwidth throttling?



None.

Nobody's downloading/uploading anything.

I remember there being something regaring port forwarding (or whatever it is). Can that be related to the problem at hand.



None.

Definitely port forwarding.

Google Starcraft Port Forwarding, or see that I have done it for you here and here.

On a side note, neither of these guides is very good. I think SEN needs one of its own that does things in much more detail.

I tried accessing my routar with the default IP (176.89.0.1. or something like that), but it didn't work. I'll talk to my flatmate who is an IT god. I'd like to do it manually because I don't like installing new software on this computer. I'll post again when I get some results.



None.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
