Increase gaming connection

Certainly seems to be legit, I chopped 50ms off my latency from following the guide. Spoke to a few of the more tech savvy people in my guild and seems they already had it done so I figured I'd share the love.

You can use this if you don't want to edit your registry yourself.

Leatrix Latency Fix : WoWInterface Downloads : WoW Tools & Utilities

I've been using it for ages, went from 200ms down to 100ms.

Tweaking for speed - dslreports.com

does about same thing as above, cept it will give you the tool+ settings you should have set.

Wow latency is about 8-30ms for me

Bastard!

At 1st i was like "HELL YEA"

Then i seen this

WINDOWS VISTA USERS: Vista TCP tuning (tweaking) is NOT advisable. The Vista TCP stack does a reasonable job of tuning the receive window dynamically, there are no known registry tweaks that would optimize Vista better than its default configuration.

Son of a bitch.

This was fixed in 2.3.3.

World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.3.2 (1/8/2008)

General

* Reduced network latency by disabling the Nagle algorithm.

If you're doing what the guy is saying to do in the video posted above. It should do nothing in terms of actual technical boosts anymore.

No, it does work still.

* Didn't Blizzard disable this already?
This is a common misconception but the answer is no. What Blizzard did was disable nagling, way back in patch 2.3.2.

Nagling bundles small packets together into larger ones for more efficient transmission. The effects are similar - bundling packets together always produces higher latency which is why it's bad for online games. Blizzard disabled nagling because of this, however, the acknowledgement queueing system used by the TCP protocol remains.

For the technically minded, Blizzard made the TCPNoDelay function redundant, as Wow now includes it by default. They didn't change TcpAckFrequency. Leatrix Latency Fix changes that.

I didnt know about this, thanks

Works for Vista too. Not sure why it says it doesn't. Went from 230~ to 80ms.

[Guitarman]

Jodwahh, love you man in a non-gay way.

Went from a constant yellow connection, around 280-330ms to 166ms in the middle of dal rofl.

works for me
