does anyone play starcraft?

[WicKeD_WaYz]

im not lookig to start one of those "clans" or anything I was just wondering if anyone else here is as addicted to that game as I am. The only way I can play it though is over battle.net , one player games get wayyy too boring.


Ahhh its starting to control my life....:eek:

[Sooky]

I used to play it all the time!

...since I got Windows XP Pro; now it doesn't work. I can play single player, but when I join BNet and try and enter any game, I get "the game creators latency is too high," whatever that means (I have cable).

So, yeah, I did, and would play Starcraft - if it worked.:mad:

ya that usally means your computer isnt fast enough or your connection isnt fast enough. You do know that you should shut down all of the programs you have running prior to playing the game, so you dont lag as much

[MagMan5446]

yeah I play. My name is austinodo on it. west coast server...

[BobTheCow]

wow, I used to play that game allllll the time, 56k and all!! But my computer seriously didn't have enough hard drive space for it, and I ended up never having enough time to play a full good game... plus I just got bored of it!! Hey on the east coast server... does anybody know if clan {WTF} is still up and running?? Me and this other kid started it a looong time ago, but it actually caught on!!

That actually isn't true. There is a bug with SC and XP. I know because I have a 3.06Ghz P4, gig o ram, ATI 9700 and cable and I still have that problem :p. Oh and on any of my other computers or the SDSL line (bussinece line) it still happens.

I play it... A LOT.

We have about 8 guys in the building who play on the LAN every other day or so.

I'm pretty good with Protoss, decent with Zerg, and suck bad with Terran.

Problem is we play with spawned copies, so only two of us can play on Battlenet at a time...

LAN games are way better though, you can yell across the studio or lab and strategy is easier.

I used to play it a bit, but don’t have time any more. My kids however are Starcraft junkies! :D Jay is a member of “Clan Hunter 2” and Jess is a member of “Clan Terror Squad”.

He said they were "working on it," but who knows if they even care. Although I can play other Blizzard games on Bnet (Diablo II - boring!) I think I'm pretty much outta luck... :(

[BobTheCow]

aah, I remember this debate raging even when I was still super-obsessed with battlenet... at least 2 or 3 years ago!! :eek:

[Miscue]

AoEII > StarCraft

:p

[RoadDawg]

I love it. I'd move on to other games but my computer is barely fast enough to run SCII. After all it is a 133mhz pentium 1 lol.

[Peach]

I gave up Counter-strike about a month ago to come back to dear old Starcraft(Broodwar) :D

Anyone hear a w00t for an AO Broodwar day? <--- Just kidding

I play on west.

[Smoke]

I used to play Starcraft all the time. Now I've been addicted to Warcraft III. Wintermaul TD......can't......stop...playing....:D

I dont know about xp. But with my windows 98 sometimes I lag, when my computer is running slow. When I try to join certain games it gives me that message. Then I restart my computer and everything is ok.

I dont wanna sound like a complete geek.. but yeah I am...

Your problem is a firewall, Open your settings and enable port 6112(battle.net) and then disable your main firewall settings, its the only way to allow the data that needs to come from starcraft to work.

[Archangel Kid]

wow... if someone doesn't want they're SC and/or BW cds with keys i would gladly take them off your hands :)

But I've been trying to do as you said, and I can disable the firewall and I followed blizzards instructions on creating ports, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I can get into the "join game" screen, but every game has the 6 red bars, and when I try to join, it says the latency to the creator is too high.
