So i've been having problems playing w3 (dota) on my windows 7 laptop
as i get random 2-3 second freezes during game then the games fast forward after

does anyone else have this problem and figure out how to fix this?

im certain its not net issue because i get this watching replay too

maybe your HDD is overworked or dying.

OR...

a wizard did it

post specs, 32/64 bit? Aero theme?

i dont lag, and im using windows 7 32bit :)

this problem usually happens because of internet connection. It Could either be your or just the host of the game.

You can try calling your internet provider and have them reset your modem .... this will increase the speed of your internet. for a good amout of time.
