Melhorando o Lag

Ever since the last 1.5.0.5 game update my ping went from a solid 120 to 150 ms to an absolutely horrible 350 to 400 ms steady with spikes upward to 600 to 800 ms in size. The worst thing about the lag was the fact that it seemed to come and go with each patch, while early in the beta the problem could be traced to a routing issue which was fixed with one of their first updates, a later trace route after the 1.5.0.5 update had shown no packet loss but my latency was four times worse and Im using a HighSpeed DSL connection playing from the East Coast!

Luckily during the final moments of Beta I came across a registry tweak which basically modifies the way your computer handles and acknowledges packets. And I wouldnt of believed it unless I had seen it, but it essentially cut my latency from awful 400 ms to a 50 to 90 ms steady ping- better then it was in the last patch. I believe later SP's of Windows Vista include this function by default, but if your not sure it doesnt hurt to check. If your running Windows XP you should DEFINATELY check it out. Theres a modification which even does it for you:

Leatrix Latency Fix : WoWInterface Downloads : WoW Tools & Utilities
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13581-LeatrixLatencyFix.html

Simply download the file and unzip it.

There will be three scripts inside as well as a link back to the Leatrix Latency Fix download page. The three scripts are named as they are below with their functions:

*Leatrix Latency Fix Checker - This script checks your system registry to see if the tweak is applied.

*Optimise TCP for reduced latency and faster gameplay - This script will install the registry tweak, a restart is needed afterwards.

*Restore TCP back to Windows defaults - As it says, this script undoes the changes.

Simply run the Fix Checker, if the tweak isnt present then run the Optimise TCP script, restart then your gtg! I hope this helps everyone as much is it did me. The differance was literally night and day.
