the latency trick

[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..

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.

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

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.

I thought they implemented this in the 2.3.0 patch?

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

I don't think it ever went in. This "trick" still seems to make an improvement when used.

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:

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.
