OK, this is for me currently very frustrating. First off, I am normally very happy with my iBurst connetion and even speed. I have little latency and does get great use of it. BUT...

I am NOT a big online player, but I have recently bought Starcraft and will very much like to play it in Multiplayer mode as well. First you need to connect to Battle.net to open the game. This takes me several tries. Once I accidentally get on, I go to the player screen and then as I want to play, it says lost connection and all I can do is play single player offline. Since I finished the campaign, I can do nothing else as they do not have AI vs 1 player mode. This is really frustrating. I have contacted Blizzard and they said it is a connection issue after I had run a trace script. I donot know what to do anymore. Is there anyone else playing SC2 on iBurst and what is your experience? I am running out of ideas what to check?

Anyone?????
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!:cry:
 
Have you tried taking the bushes/branches out of the way ?? or Turning the modem on ?


*Just Kidding*

Best way to increase signal would be, to get the Modem / Antenna closer to the nearest Window or to addon a Stronger Antenna. (Standard Antenna's are normally 2dbi or 4/5dbi. Try buying an External 8dbi addon Antenna in the 1800mhz Range - Must be Iburst Antenna). It just clicks into the back of the Desktop or USB Modems.

Alternatively you must try to get an Outside Antenna, that has Direct line of Sight to the Tower.


If you have done all this or maybe your rig is like the above, then it might be a port blocking or heavy shaping on the Gaming port that Starcraft2 uses. (It might be heavily shaped)

First off, have you checked your MTU settings? Do you have any BitTorrent downloads going on in the background (including Blizzard Updater)?

Try sc2ALLin1 (Offline StarCraft 2 RETAIL Launcher), it lets you launch single player vs AI games.

I have NO problems with other sites, so the antenna is no problem - in fact if I look out my window I can see the tower :-).

As to the port: Blizzard said they use 1119 and 1120. Is there any way to find out if this is heavily shaped?
 
My SC2 runs fine on iBurst (havent played in a week though), I'll test out GW tonight.

Edit:

Oh, I remember that some accounts are more equal than other accounts, I'm on a 5GB package - this might play a part in it?

No problems playing SC at all... even manage to play borderlands with a friend and it's fine most of the time....
 
I got really bad lag while playing starcraft 2 on 128kbps uncapped today. I had to quit 3 games.
 
Hi I'm on a 5GB package and I play every night at 21:00 2V2 in Starcraft2 with a friend we sometimes have a Skype voice call going on in the background while my wife plays WoW (through battle ping) with a 350latency. I had very bad service until I installed an external antenna. O i live in PTA
 
Anyone found a solution to this?

I also have a problem with iBurst and StarCraft II. I can barely log into my account on Battlenet, and shortly after log-in the connection is lost. The menu is also really jittery. I have a 2GB iBurst package.

It all works fine under Ubuntu (although some coding of the usb drivers was required). Which is really annoying because the game should run better in Windows...

With a 5GB package or more P2P is kak. With a smaller package it is seriously kak.

(and before you all complain, without the above you would have zero chance of even having a discussion about gaming on wireless)
