Bizarre Latency / Lag

[Vociferate]

Well over the last 4-5 days I have been experiencing the strangest lag I can say that I have seen. It only effects Quest Turn-ins/Accepts, IWT for repairs and NPC's, joining and leaving heroics/dungeons, and joining and leaving battlegrounds.

Sometimes the delay is almost 2 minutes for the client to respond on a slave. The worst part is, it's not always the same account. It may be Slot 2, relog reboot, w/e then it's slot 4. Rinse repeat ad nauseum.

Yet, when I am fighting mobs or players, the spells are all perfect. The ping is 250-330 on all clients. They IWT to get to the NPC/Mob/Player normally. They can cast all their spells with the right latency. Only the things above take FOREVER.

So far I have, deleted my cache and standard Blizzard folders. Reset the rotuer, the computer and checked the wiring. Nothing seems to be working.

Any ideas? Maybe something through my command prompt in order to fix the random latency issue?

What does perfmon say? Hanging is a wait state of some sort my guess, should be easy to track.

[Vociferate]

Perfmon? Not sure what you mean. o.o

[katsurahama]

Start -> run -> type 'perfmon' -> press enter

(assuming you use windows)

It ended up being an addon conflction with JAMBA. Not sure which one it was, I just turned off a few on the slaves that didn't need to be on them (Atlas, Auctioneer, oGlow, etc...)

Problem was fixed.

The same problem started happening to me after 4.0.6

The only addons on my slaves are bartender, addon control panel and superdupermacro. Of course JAMBA is on there too.

Random lag spikes and more annoyingly, random disconnects in dungeons

Any ideas what could be causing this ?

I've been experiencing this quite a bit - but it's mainly affecting my casting. Noticed it during peak hours (6pm - midnight, local). Turns out by running WinMTR we were able to trace it to a single hop on AT&T's network. I've contacted them to hopefully get it straightened out.

That's where you can get the WinMTR program. Point it at the IP for your server, which can be found :

And let it rip. Might be a source of problems for you, might not.

I am running winmtr with the ip of my server but it says no response from host ...

It was actually my internet provider. Once I contact them, they were telling me that the game and the ISP were conflicting, despite my tunneling service (WoW Tunnels).

They did some shit behind the scenes, and was fixed about a week later.

This is exactly what happened to me a month ago. OMG I was so upset. Before the ISP admitted a problem. I did this.
many virus scans in safe mode
removed all addons
repaired wow
deleted the WTF and other Cache folders
uninstalled wow and reloaded
uninstalled ISBoxer and reloaded
purchased and installed new video card
added more RAM
reformatted HD
upgraded OS software to Win 7
bought new router
checked for open ports
ran several other tests..finally determined its NOT me.
(of course, Ive called the ISP several times by now... "No issues in your area, your modem showing working properly")

Finally, I demanded the ISP come check out the modem. He came, but the night before I got an automated call from ISP... they had some technical work finish local to me.... did I still want them to come out, press 1?

Internet started working perfectly, but I had the dude come out anyway, and replace the cable lines, and the CAT5 cables, and the modem... just cause I was pissy.

I did my usual run yesterday (heroic vp) without a glitch.

I don't remember doing anything different.... weird....

A week or to ago there was a patch that changed the way wow shaped data, at least according to the tech support forum. The new way is apparently throwing some isps off into thinking it's the same as torrent data, so it's getting throttled for some % of users.

I've been having high world spikes that drop a toon or two randomly any time day or night since about two weeks ago. They can still talk but not cast, which sucks because if you don't force the client closed you won't notice the dc for the five minutes or so it might take to actually kick them offline (or until you notice a dps not casting or you're not getting any heals on a boss fight!). There's a giant stickied thread where they are collecting tracerts and such, and some smaller more vocally pissed of threads below.

I reactivated City of Heroes for a month to let them sort it out because it was very frustrating.

they rolled back the changes on how the data is being sent to the clients ... link above is a blue post explanation

Ah well then I'm still getting busted anytime I try to play, as recently as Tuesday night.

Just because you have latency issues, doesn't mean it's on your end.

Im having frame rate issues, is it because of the new cata content ? I wotlk I could use 5 boxed toons, im struggling now with 4, frame rates are all over the place, barely moveable in the citys and im not on a big popped realm. I can play for short times then frame rate just literally dies and i need to force a reboot.

Only addons I have on are isboxer/jamba and titan panel, I thought maybe using alt f and alt shift f alot might haev freaked it out seems when i press alt a fair bit funnily enough
