Tons of periodic lagspikes in D3, but not in HotS?(1)Category: Technical SupportOctober-16-2015 7:02 PM PDT (7 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Am I missing something here? According to the ping tests in the Blizzard website, both games share the same server. However, I get periodic lagspikes during peak hours while playing D3, rendering the game practically unplayable at higher difficulties since I can't even react appropriately with skills with up to a second delay and tons of frustrating rubberbanding. While playing HotS I have yet to experience any lag issues whatsoever. Please provide any assistance with this issue. It's been going on for way too long (months now), and I'm tired of trying to look for proper input on how to solve this issue. If it was my ISP, both games would have terrible latency problems, but that's just not the case at all. SC2 doesn't seem to have any problems either, although that one seems to be a different server.

My connection is wired. I'm logging from Saint Jean sur Richelieu (near Montreal, Quebec, Canada), and my ISP is Videotron.

For documentation purposes, I've also logged the looking glass test results for both D3 and HotS:

Blashyrkh,

You provided an incomplete Looking Glass report as it never got to your end or your ISP, Videotron.

Could you run the forward looking trace and WinMTR utility towards our server instead please. You'll need to have the test running when you experience the lag to be of the most use.
