I dont really understand what you are trying to say :slight_smile:

Try using a VPN, or getting a new Internet Service Provider.

VPNs or Virtual Private Networks are useful to change the path that your connection takes to reach the server, which can often fix these kinds of issues, where your connection passes through a bad router or high traffic pathway and can cause connection issues that will happen in one game/service and not in another (in a different physical location).

So you have to use a VPN to play WC3 nowadays… what is that crap to be honest? This has never happened to me before and now suddenly after a patch that came it started happening like 1/6 games.

Thanks for the advice tho bro but i just feel like blizzard is shte atm, so many major flaws across many games.

This is one case where it isn’t (usually) the game/blizzard’s fault. Your route to the server is bad and this leads to problems. VPNs allow you to solve this problem yourself, but usually this kind of problem is temporary and whenever whoever owns the network equipment in question (i.e. backbone routers that handle huge amounts of traffic) fixes the gear responsible for the issues, it will go away. You can blame Blizzard a little bit for this because they might be using crappy datacenters in bad locataions to reduce cost, but not entirely.

For dealing with problems like this, I recommend Mudfish- it’s the cheapest VPN I know of and just a few dollars will get you enough bandwidth for months or even years depending on how often you need it, as they charge by data usage rather than monthly. And this can help you solve network problems with almost any game or software.
