unstable ms problem

hello. lately im having MS problems on slave windows. Im running 6 characters with ISboxer. My pc setup is i5 4460, r9 380 4g, 16gb ddr3 ram. Slot 1 has no problem ( around 55-60 MS ) , but other windows' MS is not stable. Some of them go to 150ish MS, some of them go to 100ish MS, some of them go to 75ish MS . Even if they have higher MS than slot 1, sometimes they sync perfectly, sometimes not. I dont understand. It was going very well till 8.1 patch. I dont think its a connection problem. because i dont have any problem on slot 1. Can it be related with low fps on slave windows? It happens when i farm mobs.

Btw im just using elvUI, jamba and isboxer addons. All windows are running graphic window "1". Sorry for terrible english.

What you're calling "ms" is generally referred to as ping. The ping, in each window, tells you how long it takes for a message to get to the server and back to you.

Maybe? Generally your ping is not related to FPS at all -- one is how fast the network is going, and the other is how fast the GPU/CPU are rendering the game world. Networking is not typically restricted by your FPS, but we also don't know what you're calling "low FPS" or why they are "low FPS" either.

If your CPU usage is pegged at 100% while playing, I would certainly recommend reducing that to allow your system to process everything (including networking) more efficiently.

Exactly. I know what difference between fps and ping is. I set foregroud FPS for 60 and background FPS for 30 in CPU strategy generator. While im playing, fps is changing around 40-58 for main window and 20-30 for slaves. There was not any problem until 8.1 patch. Thats what i mean.

I have a druid team and farming mobs. Lets say all of them have @player starfall macro at "3" button. When i press 3, master slot hits directly, slot 2-3-4 hit 2 or 3 seconds later. slot 5 hit nothing even if i wait 5 seconds and slot 6 hits directly. Then i go rotation (there is delay on some windows here too), when starfall ends i hit "3" button again. This time slot 2 and 3 hit directly like master slot. Slot 4-5 hit a few seconds later and slot 6 hit nothing. And it goes on. The scenario is like that. When i use "Loot a Rang", some of them loot, some of them not. It makes me slower and i cant find any solution. ( ofc im calculating the ping, im not hitting buttons like crazy :D ) I have no problem while gathering herbs by the way ( rarely one of slaves is braking follow). It happens when i farm hyperspawn mobs.

Do u suggest me delete some files like cache , logs , errors in WoW folder? Addons and ingame settings are really significant for me. I dont want to delete something wrong.

I just realized that 3rd and 4th cores are working at %100 constant. 1st and 2nd core are working around %25-%50. Is it okay?

No, certainly you should not have 2 cores that are maxed out, and 2 cores that are doing basically nothing. Make sure your CPU Strategy is "All windows use all CPU cores".

Other than that, no I don't believe there is much you're going to find to do to improve your ping by changing settings. (And frankly, 100ms is not all that bad, certainly would not cause a 2+ second delay)


The issue you're running into is not client side.

I think what you're looking at is the same thing a lot of players have been complaining about since 8.1: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wo...-latency/50358

There are lot of people online now, especially in org, if you are horde. My toons tend to lag a bit behind. If i leave populated areas and/or enter instances, its smooth as silk again.

yeah you're right. but im always in a BFA zone where is deserted. actually there is not even a quest or world quest here. surprisingly when i make any slave my main screen, delay ends. Slaves dont obey their master lol. this is the solution for me in the short term

The cpu only have 4 cores and thats it. And you are running 6 accounts spamming those keys. You are pushing the good old trusty hard.

Run hwmonitor (reset values after you have logged on into all the games, then start to farm for a bit, then look at the new numbers) and figure out if you are bottlenecking anything and how the temps look like.

Cpu cores usage.
Cpu temps.
Ram usage.
Vram usage.
