hi.
i dont know what´s happening but since 2 months ago i cant play wc because it constantly lags, even when i play campaign and custum games.
when i start playing the game is ok but after 1 or 2 mins it starts lagging and slows down , it lasts for about 3 minutes and comes back to normal speed, but when i play 4v4 or try to watch a replay with many players the problem is there all the time, no intervals between lag and normal speed.
ps:even sound becomes slow


i ´ve played wc for 2 years and i hadn´t had this problem
Everything was ok so i think my pc covers the system requirements.

O.s is windows XP

Click on the Display Tab

We need to know these items:

On the right side, in the Drivers section, we need to know:

Hello Eagle_republic

Do these issues occur in the following types of games?
1 vs 1:
Single Player:

Are you able to host games that other people can join?

You may need to exit any programs you have running in the background to improve performance and stability

Selective Startup:

For Windows XP users:
Click Start and select Run, then type "msconfig" and click OK.
In the General tab:

1. Choose Selective Startup
2. Disable (uncheck) Load startup items
3. Click OK and Reboot

Technical support needs your feedback. Please take the time to fill out a survey using the link below and tell me how I am doing:

ok i did it, but didn´t work.
when i play 1v1, lag/slowdown is not too hard(still there thoug) but when i play with more than 2 bots or people(4v4,3v3) it happens.
i don´t think it ´s about hosting ,but anyway i know how to fix my ports so ppl can join my games.

Try updating your video card drivers.
