Latency problems with multi-instances open

[Braggon]

Hey all. I'm boxing again. Woot. Problem though: I have noticed that my WoW clients all have different degrees of latency. Eg. - I multi-box on 2 PC's. I have 3 clients on PC A. 2 clients on PC B. I use Keyclone along with Multiplicity. On PC A I run E6700 dual core...2GB ram...8800GTX. On PC B AMD 4600+ x2...7800....2GB ram. Both PC's utilize xp home edition. I have my FPS set through Keyclone. The FPS seem accurate. My latency Varies bigtime though.Eg: 200m/s....120m/s.....500m/s.......120m/s.......550m/s. Im having a problem with coordination becasue of this. Anyone with a possible soulution? Thank you!

It sounds like a network problem, have you tried pinging your computers to see if it's not a local network problem?
Are they wired or wireless and what type/model is your router.

[Braggon]

I'm not a real technical incite person so I wouldn't know how to ping my computers. Lol. My wired router is D-link DI-604.

I suggest disabling the Nagle algorithm. There was a thread here recently with info about how to do it.

I did that fix on my Vista machine and it made a tremendous difference.

Morning guys. Thanks for the excellent tip. Will apply and hope for the best. Sounds very promising. :thumbsup:

Also, are you cabled in to your router or are you connecting via wireless? Wireless will give you some latency as well.

I'm wired with short distance cat cable. My router may be getting old but very reliable so far. Its early for full servers but il log on and try it out!

Good luck! :)

Another thing to do would be disable Quality of Service Packet Scheduler on your network adapters.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network > right click on your adapter > Properties

Highlight the "Quality of Service Packet Scheduler" and uninstall or uncheck the box and select OK.

The reasons why that function has been installed by default by microsoft for the last 2 OS releases absolutely baffles me. It has no functionality in 99% of all networks on the planet.

My computers need all the help they can get! :P

OMG! I can't belive it. I tested my high end guys by running around shatt in circles and didnt have the slightest amount of lag or drop in FPS. Im shocked. My lat on all open instances were 49m/s across the board. I really can't belive it. WOOT! LOL!

On a funny note, I did realize why I kept losing one toon . While everyone was on their epic mounts he was riding his 40 mount. lol Oh well. Im very happy and pleased. I like to thank everyone who responded.

I hope all is well tonight when the server becomes a little heavier. Even though it was at medium currently.

Glad it worked for ya! :D

So its still helps to disable the nagle algorithm? The original post mentions that this shouldn't be a problem anymore with wow version 2.3.x and up..

[ThatIrishGuy]

It helps alot because blizz f*cked it up again. >_>

[Havelcek]

Yes it still helps, I just did it 2 weeks ago.

:thumbup:

[Dorffo]

yeah Blizz hasn't done so well with that one, it won't fix all latency issues but can make a big difference!
