Saso Ring 0 Posted June 23, 2008 When I ever go try to join any games, it always says that my latency is too high to the host of the game. I don't understand. I have only 75 ping. Does anyone have this problem. It would be nice if someone could give a solution to this. Share this post Link to post
Azu 24 Posted June 23, 2008 Only if you're using a slow firewall like norton or zonealarm. Share this post Link to post
Union1 33 Posted June 23, 2008 zonealarm can be made to not block starcraft Share this post Link to post
Azu 24 Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, for a firewall to be a firewall there generally has to be a way to make it allow certain applications/ports. Share this post Link to post
Union1 33 Posted June 23, 2008 Then why would it be slow if its allowing starcraft Share this post Link to post
Azu 24 Posted June 23, 2008 That was your opinion, not mine. Don't ask me to back it up for you. Share this post Link to post

Guest GuestKaitenxer_* Posted June 24, 2008 I've already port forwarded it, not really sure if turning the firewall will help. I just use regular windows vista firewall. Share this post Link to post
LoyaL 68 Posted June 24, 2008 Turn off all firewalls, run starcraft and log on bnet. Then turn your firewalls on, while playing sc. After the first time you shouldnt have to do it again. Share this post Link to post
Azu 24 Posted June 25, 2008 Turn off UAC? ??? He didn't say anything about UAC popups. Anyways, ya, just set your firewall to allow starcraft. Share this post Link to post
Azu 24 Posted June 25, 2008 No. If it was a hardware problem then disabling his software firewall wouldn't have fixed it. Share this post Link to post
LoyaL 68 Posted June 25, 2008 Plus his latency would be a UDP Plug capable if it was a hardware problem. It's forwarding/Firewall. Share this post Link to post
Saso Ring 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Can you join games? Does it lag? Well I almost joined a game, but it said I got banned. However I tried joining 3 other users' games but I got the latency error again on all of them. For Lag, I've never gotten into a game Share this post Link to post

Guest Guest Posted December 28, 2009 Iam having the same trouble, only my ports are forwarded and I can play games with my friend, but after 1 game we cant play again unless we restart game, and even then its hit or miss, sometimes we have to alternate hosting to do it but lately the bug has shown more Share this post Link to post
Zar 696 Posted December 28, 2009 It could be your internet service provider or if you are using wireless it can be that as well. Some internet service providers like Qwest will not let you host games online because they dont support it. So it will cause latency issues like what you experienced. Share this post Link to post
