Ok before i get started iam going to explain what mouse delay is, basicly all it is is when you click an area of the map too move there it takes your unit 1sec before he does it, so its a 1sec mouse delay (thats for the noobs :P)

Anyway i ussaly play maze maps which requires alot of movement with the mouse and good timing, i have mouse delay making it harder for me and i have to click 1sec before i would ussaly have to do to dodge some units or somthing, i asked around while playing the game too and some ppl also confirmed that it wasnt jus me and they had it too...
I notice that the host didnt so i figure cause hes hosting it he dont, nether of us have mouse delay on singleplayer so its on b.net when it happens, now is there any way too fix the horrible fiend or not?

All surgestions would be helpfull

its lag. when one person lags, it lags everyone. In larger games (6+ people) there is susually a larger ammount of lag.

How to fix it? You cant. If you get 1 laggy player, boot him if there is an ingame boot system.

also, if you host games, PLEASE Ignore laggers so they dont join your games. my ignore list has become massive over the years.

unless its a maze of wandering units. The human brain cannot compute fast enuf to find the set pattern of suedo random calculations, so mouse delay becomes an issue.

*squelches wormskull* if you have a delay, then your internet connection / computer are not suitable for battle.net.

Its in a game like X-Hero Siege where a delay becomes a major issue. Pounding the potiton key will only waste lots of potions, and cause you to die.

yep. delays are a bitch under some circumstances. So boot slow DLers, kick (in game) laggers, and ban spoofers.

edit: AND ban the stoopid koreans... but only the ones who dont speak english!
