the latency trick

[lukey15]

i saw some one mention they disable something or other to drop there latency on wow , i was wondering if someone can explain how u do it , i have abit of an issue :P many thx

[sway]

I heard something in the AV grp, but its WITHOUT Guarantee etc...
i don't know WHAT this changing, but i believe something with the packages size...

Right click on
My Network Places -> properties
Local Area Connection -> properties

then you see "connect using:" then you see your network card and right of this field "Configure..." click on it
then to "Advanced"

Then i think it was the "Flow Control", but i'm not sure whats happening and when your are not known what you're doing, better do not changing somethings.

here is the wikipedia link to the "flow control"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control

[Majestic_Clown]

wait until next major patch and the data transmission type is chaning which will increase latency.

[Los]

wait until next major patch and the data transmission type is chaning which will decrease latency.

fixed :)

I R NEWB I R NEWB.

Fixed by Wilbur <- gay!

[sikerdebaard]

Meh, decrease of latency, but more bandwidth usage. More overhead, especialy for ADSL users. :(

[Majestic_Clown]

HAHA I R PWNT!

Yes Decrease latency.


Quoted from the patch notes for the next major patch



Reduced network latency by disabling the Nagle algorithm.

this will DECREASE (:P) latency by between 50-250 depending on location

[Hippieman]

HAHA I R PWNT!

Yes Decrease latency.

this will DECREASE (:P) latency by between 50-250 depending on location That means I'll have -10 latency :shock:

[Ellay]

It's actually 2 registry changes that need to be done. I noticed a very nice drop in my ping. I've quoted a guide I used to do the changes, If your not comfortable touching your Registry please please please do not do it, this is pretty much the brain of your system and 1 wrong key entry may = PC does not work. If you do in fact make the changes, be very careful triple check!!!


International lag fix
WoW lags, it's not something new if you're playing on servers a bit far away from your country, but don't worry people are fixing it ! Out of all the methods offered to fix the lag on your machine, one of them posted on Elitistjerks forums seems to work very well.

<> <> <> Read this first <> <> <>
1 - It might have side effects, like slowing down your download speed or affecting your performance on other softwares. (In my case, it didn't change anything)
2 - If you're not sure about what you're doing, just don't do it. I don't want to be responsible because you crashed your computer in some way because you wasted your registry.
2.1 - Seriously, if you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. It will be fixed in one or two weeks anyway. (and the official fix won't have any impact on other softwares)
3 - If you don't have the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\ directory, you can download and apply this file to your registry.
4 - Windows Vista users might want to check this post too.

Source - Elitistjerks.com

"1 - TcpAckFrequency - NOTE if you are running Windows Vista this setting may not have any effect - a hotfix is needed which i'm tracking down. This works fine under Windows XP

Type "regedit" in windows "run.." dialog to bring up registry menu

Then find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\

There will be multiple NIC interfaces listed in there, find the one you use to connect to the internet, there will be several interfaces listed (they have long names like {7DBA6DCA-FFE8-4002-A28F-4D2B57AE8383}. Click each one, the right one will have lots of settings in it and you will see your machines IP address listed there somewhere. Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TcpAckFrequency, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.

You can change it back to 2 (default) at a later stage if it affects your other TCP application performance. it tells windows how many TCP packets to wait before sending ACK. if the value is 1, windows will send ACK every time it receives a TCP package.

2 - TCPNoDelay
This one is pretty simple (Discussed here)

Type "regedit" in windows "run.." dialog to bring up registry menu

Then find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Paramet ers

Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TCPNoDelay, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.

Click Ok and close the registry editor, then reboot your PC."

Basically, this fix is deactivating the Nagle algorithm to improve your ping. If you don't want to do it you can just wait for the 2.3.2 patch as it's supposed to deactivate it too, but I don't think you can test it on PTRs right now because the updated patch notes from the latest PTR Build (7705) are actually for the upcoming build (7710).

Once you're done with the technical stuff (it probably won't take more than 1 minute if you're not too bad), you can finally get your reward.


Even if in this case, the fix was used to decrease a very high ping, it seems to work very well on low (~100ms) ping for some people (lowered to ~20 or ~30ms).

[Majestic_Clown]

btw doing this will get your account banned as it intercepts the world of warcraft data between the user and server.

This is FACT that it will get you banned, even blue postings on this, will have to dig to get them.

hmmmm...i dont agree that this will get you banned...that is if you are talking about the registry fix.

I did this on UO(ultima online) UO finally had to make changes within their system to control the speed hacks.

Again, I would say that if its on ur registry ur PC then HOW can WOW ban you? lol doesnt make sense. Your not changeing anything within the game. WOW cannot tell you how your PC should be run and in FACT is illegal if not questionable that they even monitor your PC with their WARDEN crap.

[Majestic_Clown]

yeah sorry misread the tutorial, there is one very simular which used tunneling traffic with a regedit.

My mistake :P

[wougoose]

Nice find Ellay, latency down from 120+ to between 30-40 :)

[schlange]

Damn I have Vista64.

Not sure if there is any additional performance improvement with this fix AFTER the patch???

[Zutok]

Damn I have Vista64.

There's not... I tested it, just to see. The patch basically removed the Nagle's algorithm (relative of the fisherman) itself.

[Bravo]

I found this tutorial on patch day and decided to hold off seeing how the patch would fix this... the past 3-4 days I've had some terrible lag at night... my latency has been around 200ms before and after the patch, but after the patch I've seen my one or two of my character's (I'm running 5) suffer from lag issues and then DC.

I ran all 5 in the day yesterday with no problems at all, even in the day my latency is around 200ms... and then around 8-9pm the problems started, running 1 character is fine. Is there a way to tell if it's my ISP or it's just my server getting busier?

[skarlot]

The TcpAckFrequency hack is still making a difference post patch from my tests (by disabling on one PC, these toons follow half a body length behind).

[Ughmahedhurtz]

and then around 8-9pm the problems started, running 1 character is fine. Is there a way to tell if it's my ISP or it's just my server getting busier?
Download Ping Plotter Freeware (http://www.pingplotter.com/freeware.html). This is a Great Tool(tm). ;) Then do a trace to us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com. You'll see something like this:

http://l00py.net/wow/Trace1.jpg

Look for the last line you see before you get the "destination unreachable" error. That is the last upstream server before you get into the WoW network (if one of you other folks remembers how to get the server IP, lemme know...I forget). Put that address into the "Address to trace" box, set your "# of times to trace" to 9999, set your trace delay to 1 second, set your "Samples to include" to 9999 and click the Trace button. Let that run for several minutes while you're having trouble. If you see any link in there that's got a huge spike in response time or shows any packet loss, you've probably found the culprit. If it all looks good there, then yeah, the problem is probably your server.

[marvein]

the logon server ip is 12.129.232.113

[Ughmahedhurtz]

the logon server ip is 12.129.232.113
Actually, I meant the actual play server IP (i.e.: the direct IP for Magtheridon). I say this because the logon server is for everyone, whereas the play servers are in different datacenters.

Oh :)

*edit* I think magetheridon is 12.129.224.113

blizzard seems to own a large range of IPs. like 12.129.210.0-12.129.240.0

*edit* n/m that isnt mag it is another lobby server.

looks like everything that ends in .113 is part of their logon server cluster.

*edit* kel'thuzad is 206.17.111.86 gimme a min to find mag's

it looks like mag is 206.16.23.44 but that makes no sense unless the registrant is outdated...

WoW servers seem to be in the range of 206.17.111.0-206.17.111.255

*edit*
if you want to try this yourself open a command prompt (start>run cmd) and type netstat and note the addresses listed. Then start wow, login and load the character on the realm you wish to identify. You should wait a minute or two to make sure you are not still communicating witht elobby servers then go back to the command window and do netstat again and look for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3724 And that is your server's IP

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Whoa. I'm astounded. This registry fix has decreased the apparent lag time on my followers by about 70%. As an example, without the TCP settings above, I'd hit jump on my keyboard and the 4 alts would jump about time my main hit the ground. With the TCP settings, the alts jump when my main is about halfway UP. Targeting delays seem a LOT lower, too. :D

[qcumber]

I know this is an old thread but I just tried the TcpAckFrequency/TcpNoDelay trick and it changed my latency from 200-220 to 60-70. Took 1 minute to do. :thumbsup:

[Chorizotarian]

Damn I have Vista64.

Not sure if there is any additional performance improvement with this fix AFTER the patch???

There's not... I tested it, just to see. The patch basically removed the Nagle's algorithm (relative of the fisherman) itself.

There was for me (Vista x64). My pings are a consistent 70-90 ms now.

[Eteocles]

I tried this once; I have about 8 or 9 entries in my registry for the connections. I put the tcpack thing in one that had my IP; didn't do shit.

I tried again more recently(When Comcast was being a bitch and the entire southeast US was being routed through a bad 300+ms hop in Sharp's Ridge TN) and put the entry in TWO registry slots that had my IP in it; my pings have been a consistent 30-60ms now, down from 160+.

[d0z3rr]

I'm super skeptical, but will try this when I get home.

[Chorizotarian]

If you want to know more about what it's doing to your computer and why it helps search for the 2 regkey names on microsoft.com. I think there is an article explaining.

[kojak965]

I vouch for this fix still works 21/6/08 im in australia pings are often 300-500 now its normal ping too USA as if i was playing a FPS. Now its 180-230. SOOOO MUCH BETTER TY TY TY TY

THIS SHOULD BE PINED.

[Basilikos]

Note that this is an easy fix and does work well. The TCPNoDelay part DOES NOT apply to Vista, however. Just the first step is required (note that you must verify you have the correct network interface if you have more that one).

[JoeWunsch]

By doing the two registry changes my ping on The Forgotten Coast dropped from 240's to 120-130's.

I recently moved there and on Illidan I had a ping of 70, so I noticed the weird behavior and was shocked when i saw my ping was in the mid 200's.

Much nicer back at a more reasonable number.

[yarr]

can anyone confirm if this actually reduces latency? or does it just drop your listed ping number?

[JoeWunsch]

can anyone confirm if this actually reduces latency? or does it just drop your listed ping number?What do you mean just drop the listed ping number? This isn't some type of visual hack that shows you a wrong ping, tracking people into thinking it helped them.

It lowers your latency..

[Basilikos]

can anyone confirm if this actually reduces latency? or does it just drop your listed ping number?

It actually works. It's not just the visual confirmation on your latency bar - performance changes wildly, especially for people that have high latency before.

[x4rth]

Anyone knows where I can download the registry adds required? I don't have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\ in my registry.

[BobGnarly]

If you can't find that key, just do the first one. The one that works on:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\

That's the only one I did, and it worked great.

[Griznah]

I thought they implemented this in the 2.3.0 patch?

Yeah, working good, playing with about 50ms now instead of 120 :)

[SoulSeekerUSA]

You can download a little program off of cursegaming that fixes the problem. I went from 200-300 on each toon down to under 125 for all 5. It is called faster ping. Here is a link to it on curse:

http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/10599/

[x4rth]

Changing the TcpAckFrequency seriously hampered my download-speed on my Vista Ultimate x64. I can usually download at about 5MB/sec but got stuck at 50kb/sec, so this just isn't for me. Shame 'cause it really helped my latency.

[valkry]

Gz I suppose for taking your latency from 120 to 40 lol. Wish my country was as good, I'll just keep going with my 400-600 lat, even with the changes :(

[Tasty]

Wish my country was as goodAus rocks! don't diss it :P

[Fleecy]

I have only just today discovered my ISP used to run a 'WoW tunneling service' but it was recently dropped as the technician managing the project has left the company. After a brief search I've discovered a similar service, its called WoW Tunnels, and strangely enough its located at www.wowtunnels.com. Today (about 1 hour ago) is the very first time I have ever used such a service. Because I live in New Zealand and I play on US server my in-game ping is around 500-700ms (yes I know its BAD) but if its sitting around 450 I'm happy with it. Over the last couple of weeks its been averaging around 600ms. I used the tunneling service about an hour ago and my ping is sitting stable at 230ms - during US prime time.

[Jamien]

There was a mod on curse that changed some settings on your PC (not related to wow, but stuff in the registry .. which I had already done >_> ) which helped a bit.

I tried out lowerping, which worked great, except for the fact that it's bannable.
People say it's not and try to find a loophole in the rules somewhere, but after reading numerous blue posts and spending ages trying to make sense of the FUBAR T&C/EULA/etc it's not worth the 100ms for my 5 accounts.
So yeh, tunneling isn't worth it. I've had guildies say they've been using it for ages fine, and heard from others that they were using it one day and banned the next.

[Fleecy]

I'm at work right now and I've remotely connected to home and setup the tunnel software, I've got got a single WoW running right now but in about 2 hours I'll be testing all 5 accounts.

The WoW Tunnel web site claim its perfectly legal and there is currently nothing in the ToS that says otherwise. The only real concern I have is vastly differing IP addresses when I use the tunnel client and when I don't use it. Ofcause when I don't use the client my IP address is NZ based, but when I do use the software my IP address is US based. I don't want Blizzard looking at that and thinking account sharing, so I'm having a little chat with them. I've got a ticket open at the moment and I'm waiting for a reply from a GM about the legality of it.

I'm still amazed at how much difference its made to my ping - from 600+ down to 235! I just can't get over the difference.

[Jamien]

It's redirecting your normal WoW traffic, which is a violation of the .. something or other. Can't remember which one.
But it's so loosely worded that they can bend it to whatever they want. That said, they also chucked in the "we can ban you for whatever reason, if any" clause too.

Pretty much I think the bans mostly come from people connecting via a tunnel service (redirects your connection so it looks like you are connecting from america (I'm in aus so yeh)) for a while, play on it like normal then oh noes their PC crashes, or they have to restart wow or whatever, then start wow back up and keep playing but forget to use the tunnel.
It then would pop up a big red flag (atleast I think it would) saying that it's detected an account that's all of a sudden connecting from the other side of the world in a timespan thats not humanly possible to travel. So it looks like account sharing/power levelling.
Most of the bans have come from, or been reported by, people levelling toons with it on, especially if you keep changing the server you're connecting from.

So before you jump headlong into it, just remember that it will flag you as even more suspicious if you are using it then forget to use it or change where it's connecting to. And boxers know that they get more attention than your average bear.

[mattbott]

(if one of you other folks remembers how to get the server IP, lemme know...I forget).
1) Log on to a character on WoW
2) Open up a comand prompt (Start > Run> type in cmd > press enter)
3) In the command prompt, type in:

netstat -n
4) Look in the second column (Foreign Address) and look for the IP and ends in :3724 (The port that WoW uses). That is the IP of the server.

[Fleecy]

My ticket was answered by a GM but he has directed me to email billing. I'm currently awaiting a reply from billing on the issues of tunneling. I do believe Jamien is correct in 'flagging' of IP addresses. My email to billing raises this question as a potential bannable offense. I'll post more as soon as I've recieved a reply.

As for multiboxing through the tunnel... I installed & setup the tunnel software on all my (multiboxing) computers last night and had a good old play with it. The only issue (and its a very small one at that) is you can't use Octopus / Keyclone to 'maximize' the WoW window, you have to start WoW from within a tunneling program, in my case its an applicationed called FreeCap. If its not started via this software then it does not use the tunnel, and thus defeats the purpose. I had all my girls running around questing in and it worked flawlessly!! Its amazing how much more responsive the game is, it 'felt' so much smoother and more controllable.

I did a brief search of google and found many tunneling services, most of those I looked at were located in Australia. The only Australian service I tried gave me a higher ping than I normally have, I was sitting around 700+. In fairness it was a trial account I used and the pipe queue was indicated as being full. The (FREE) service I've been using wowtunnels.com, is infact located in Australia. And to my amazement my ISP (Slingshot.co.nz) will soon be offering the same service in New Zealand. A statment from a staff member ... "we are not aware of anyone being banned by using our beta WoW tunnel service. Blizzard should not have an issue with ISPs providing a service to improve WoW, but it is Blizzard and their ToS can be changed when they see fit."

I will continue to use the free tunneling service I've been trialing until a) I hear from Blizzard and they say NO or b) My ISP officially release their own.

Oh, I also implimented the registry changes mentioned above and it did indeed make a difference to my in-game ping. I'm using Vista 64bit btw. Without using the tunneling service (and after the registry change) my in-game ping is now only 380-450 ms.

[Caspian]

Why don't you try hitting the CS forums about tunneling. They are usually very responsive.

[Fleecy]

Why don't you try hitting the CS forums about tunneling. They are usually very responsive.

There are many many posts about tunneling, including a 32 page thread. Not a single one has a blue response. They all start out civil and constructed and then they turn into the usual in-fighting we have all come to expect from the WoW forums. There are many people for tunneling and there are just as many people against it. And those against it are probably the same people who against multiboxing - a lot of uninformed, ignorant fools.

I was banned for using lowerping.com which is a tunnel service.

It was a 72 hour ban and it was quite a hassle to get any warnings etc removed. It's quite possible that I could continue to use it now and never get banned again but with Blizzard's customer service its pretty risky.

My ban expired long before I got any response from wowaccountadmin and they will not discuss any ban issues over the phone.

The -100ms ping was great but still not sure it's worth the risk especially with multiple accounts involved.

[Maklar]

I run Win Xp and made the first registry change but not the 2nd as it didn't exist in my registry. It dropped my ping from ~260 to around 120 so I was pleasently surprised.

[bsdll]

As was posted above, while great for WoW because it changes the packet size to force your computer to send smaller packets more often, it will totally screw with your downloads from the web. The web hates lots of smaller packets as there is more overhead. So make sure you don't do it on heavy download computers (including wow patches that are coming soon).

Anyone doing this stuff should probably just change everything back after they are done playing WoW.

Messing around with network stuff without knowing anything about it is just asking for trouble.
