Does Battlenet just suck for me?

[Nec_V20]

I enjoy Diablo III however Battlenet disconnection errors have gone from being a PITA to a PITFA.

They really are destroying my enjoyment of the game.

Is anyone else getting Battlenet connection errors or is it just me?

Been solid for me for Hearthstone.

I cannot recall the last time I got DC'ed from a Blizzard game. And I play Diablo 3, SC2, HotS, and HS.

Are you playing on a wireless network? If so, switched to wired and watch your gaming experience get quite a bit better.

It's very likely just you.

Check ports, add necessary exceptions, etc.

I haven't played in awhile but remember having some issues with Diablo 3 connectivity.

I'll state this, Blizzard has some issues with some computers for whatever reason. I know this because my main computer has this issue. I have about 6 computers in the house on the same network, but only my main one ever has disconnection issues. I've reloaded from scratched windows and drivers on every machine multiple times. Changed out tons of various hardware. The only machine that sucks with Blizzard is my main one and the only thing I can think of is that Blizzard doesn't like the nic or motherboard for my main pc. I can play any other game with my main pc online for hours on end. No DC issues. But when it comes to Blizzard games it's a crap shoot. Some nights I can play with zero disconnects. Some nights it is every 5 minutes. It's annoying because I can be running hearthstone from 3 or 4 different machines and ONLY the main one disconnects. Trust me I've tested this out in every possible conceivable way there is. Which include:

Taking all computers to a friends house for same results.
Fresh installs of windows which include vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 to try them all.
Various version releases of all the drivers available for my hardware.
Hardware changes to include memory, cpu, psu, and harddrives (only thing constant is my p67 pro fatality board on my main pc)
Different routers and network configurations as well. Wired and wireless connections included.

So the point being is don't bang your head like I did trying to figure it out. Also, don't count on Blizzard because they won't care. Hopefully you don't have the same p67 motherboard and or on board nic that I have.

if you are certain its your onboard ethernet, why not get a pcie card installed or something? See if that fixes it...especially if you have 6 pcs total 🙂

tried that, still didn't work 🙁 As I said did wireless and wired. Should have stated it is the mobo, but could be onboard is somehow interferring through driver issues that I can't pinpoint.

It could be that particular motherboard and the way it handles packets. Can't think of anything else it could be.

I think it is Battle.net. While it generally works well, the last few days I've been having issues while starting HotS matches....it will start to load but sometimes Battle.net times out. I don't get outright disconnects though. I have had zero problems with launching WoW. It could be that the issues are primarily with the multiplayer servers and not the main Battle.net service itself.
