I have this problem since the past 10 days.. (school holiday I suppose)

Normally I would ladder on NA because my friends are all there.. I'd played 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 with my friends no problem.. I'm using Streamyx and been playing multiplayer on NA server since February without serious lag spikes, except the 0.5-1 sec delay depending on the time I playing.

So now I'm getting serious lag spikes when playing 1v1.. like 1-2 seconds freeze, and then everything fast forward to catch up with what is seen on the opponent's side.. does anyone else having the same issue when playing on NA?

P/S: I have no problem playing on SEA server. I've always been using the SEA client to play on NA server.  sad.gif  sad.gif  sad.gif

Lately I'm having this spiking lag on the US server too. Kinda annoying and have to stick to SEA..
Is Blizzard purposely doing this to SEA people playing on US server?

its TM international link. then again, why would you not stick to SEA? rolleyes.gif

it's very hard to get a random opponent for a custom 1v1 game in SEA. US server got thousands playing the game, hence you'll just hv to wait only a few seconds to get an opponent..

why not just play ladders? im sure theres plentiful of pro gamers wannabes that will show up. i mean, no one play team games anyways, so what else would they be playing, right?

u as a zerg player in SEA keep meeting ZvZ, I pulak keep meeting TvT... even a few random player also end up playing TvT. But I have no complain, playing TvT is fun (maybe more than TvZ, TvP sux!)

Back to the topic,

Anyone can verify that these few days, playing in US server in Malaysia produces some spiking lag?
Someone please test.. hehe

As I said, not only starcraft 2, its the international link in general. Reconnect to a different ip range (not just ip itself) preferably that you can verify that it's connecting on a different gateway as the one you're having is most likely affected and any ip range under it would be affected

I'm not really certain as I rarely play my NA account but I notice SEA is really a lot more smoother than NA recently. It spikes till I just ignore my build and go all in, then come back to SEA.

meant to reply this sooner, however i was preoccupied with unifi installation and post installation custom configs etc (the VLAN tagging w)

anyways! as i mentioned, its the international link being shit. and yes, i am in fact experiencing this issue as well, however reconnecting screamyx to a different ip range/gateway will solve this.
that said, i am now on unifi, and here is what i posted on my twitter:

my suspicion seems correct, tmnut is reserving their better gateways for unifi

i kept getting the good gateway and ip range (same with screamyx apparently ROFL!) after about 3 reboots

is there anyway to ping to the NA blizzard server to know that we successfully rebooted to a different IP range / gateway?

i remember back from the WoW forums you can trace route to the last few nodes of blizzard's servers, as the direct server itself rejects ping requests.

you could also just use speedtest.net and select american servers, choose CA regions, san fran or san jose for example. ignore malaysia servers tongue.gif

wow unifi users got this 2 weeks ago, me streamyx 1Mbps has been like that for 1 month already.

But now it only lags after 6pm.. and smooth at 4am onwards (wth???).. and thats when I play with my friends before they have their dinner lol

I look through other forums as well people have been complaining about high ping to international servers from malaysia. As much as I hope it gets fixed asap, but most likely we are doomed forever just because we aren't unifi users who get the upper hand in routing services.

screamyx and unifi shares the same ip range/gateways. though, the good ones *SEEMS* to be prioritized to unifi users

bottomline: just keep reconnecting to the good gateway/ip range. it will be harder for screamyx than unifi, but it isnt impossible. im only a unifi user for less than 3 days, and prior that im a screamyx user

hey man, I'm not sure nowadays what people consider as "good IP" (yes, I did search for that but the website was written a few years ago) but sometimes when I reconnect and use it for a few hours suddenly there's an yellow exclamation mark appear at my network icon at the bottom left, and I always have to wait and trouble shoot which is silly... Seriously I don't think one should be happy when they "finally" get a good IP because the connection will just reset in the next few hours.. shakehead.gif

you will have to speedtest.net to US servers (preferably CA state where most blizz servers are located) to find out which is a good ip range/gateway. additionally, you could take the leap of faith and play a sc2 game just to know, maybe customs if you dont want your league score to get affected. if its smooth, then you can stick with the ip.

as for the exclamation mark, chances are the router frozen up/hang/crashed and it caused the dhcp to die releasing your IP. are you using default tmnet hardware (router/modem etc)? if yes i would highly recommend a replacement and once you get your new router, flash its firmware to DD WRT (if you're using unifi, you either get a unifi compatible router, or lookup on vlan bridging, and you may use back tmnet provided router [typically dlink DIR615] and bridge it to your existing router which is running on DD WRT)

and yes, i do agree that one shouldn't be content/happy with our current ISP situation (things are getting worse with websites being blocked etc, and even if you dont use the blocked sites, its the beginning of internet censorship, food for thought anyone?), however our isp is monopolized our nation's backbone/infrastructure, and is even backed by the government/cronyism etc.

you either use it, or switch to lesser isp which majority of them are going on wifi which is terribly unreliable for gaming with usually high latency and/or interference by many variables such as weather/reception etc.
