I don’t know how or why this started but every campaign/custom/verses/single player game I play freezes/lags every 10 seconds for about 5 seconds, making playing on any enjoyable level impossible. I have a fairly decent gaming computer and did not have this issue until about 2 weeks ago. I have restarted the computer, modem, and game to no avail. I don’t have NVIDIA, have just Intel, so no vsync to turn off there, but the vsync is off in the game menu and the FPS rate is 200, so I’m using the default settings. I use Norton for antivirus purposes and did disable it as well and disable its firewall protection. Didn’t work. I play other games on this computer without issue like Starcraft 2. Really unhappy about this as I only got a few months of game play until this happened. I feel like I’ve been playing WoW.
Anyway, suggestions? Fire away.
I have had this for years even with classic frozen throne except mine was for like 1 out of every 3 seconds was a pause. Not sure what causes it. Kind of feel like it’s a memory issue when there’s too many units/items in play.
I hear you. In your case, maybe memory or RAM was the issue but in my case, I can run games like Starcraft 2 completely smooth without any problems. I play alot of games on my gaming computer and none of them have issues except this which only happened right after the last update.
See that’s what confuses me. I also play WoW, starcraft 2, and jurassic world evolution at max graphics totally fine. But something about Warcraft 3 causes these stutters sometimes. It’s the weirdest thing that the game you’d think would run the smoothest is the one with the issues.
It’s most likely their servers, not your computer or internet. I thought it might be my internet than I saw how many other ppl were getting random lag and kicked out of games online. It will go in spurts, last 3-4 days have been terrible, way more disconnects than usual, before that it was great for a week or so.
Word. The random disconnects in custom games have been going on for over a month and are much more common. Usually happens around 5-15 mins in but sometimes its like 30 mins or more in and its so frustrating after investing your time in that particular map. That issue however is NOTHING compared to this 5 second lag EVERY 10 SECONDS. If Blizzard can’t fix it and soon, they need to issue anyone affected by it a refund because no one wants to play a game that lags like its being run on fricken NETSCAPE. I really loved the original WC3 back in the day but this reforged edition has been issue after issue. Epic Fail. Starcraft 2 is a better game anyway.
Have you tried using classic mode? It still happens to me somewhat regularly, but it seems a lot better with classic mode on.
Today I got dropped from 3 games. It’s normally not that often though.
