Fix your latency!!

It says it works with other games, but I just downloaded it this morning for WoW and the difference is awesome.

What happens?
Basically, computers by default are set up to bundle packets together when sending information over the internet. This "latency fix" tells your computer to send packets individually rather than waiting on multiple packets.

I'm not 100% sure this will work with Maple Story or DFO, but it's worth a shot if any of you want to test it out.


basically this is what it does in a nice little youtube video. It does all this for you

Testing now, expecting little.

For people who play WoW, here's an add-on you can use to help increase reaction time.

WoW by default uses a skill when your button is released on your keyboard, rather than pressed. This add-on makes your skills go off when you press the skill rather than when you release it.

After some reading around, people are saying that this only works well on windows XP, Vista and 7 have no apparent effect.

Also it is NOT recommended, read: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic252342.html

That's an interesting read X. So it will help your ping, but reduce actual data transfer.

I'm guessing that means it'll work great for a video game, but not so well for downloading music files?

It works better when more instantaneous information is needed - consider VPNing into a compy

could you translate that into english?

You can do this on XP. I'm guessing the reason this doesn't work on Vista/7 is because it's already done.

You can do this in the registry yourself on XP. I'm guessing the reason this doesn't work on Vista/7 is because it's already done.

I'm running 7 and it wasn't already done for me.

Did it change anything for you on 7? I just thought it might have already been done elsewhere.

I didn't notice any real change, but if there was any change it was a negative one.

That sucks that it didn't work for you. Someone else told me about it. I tried it and noticed an immediate difference.

Are you running XP?

I will try this on my other computer which is a couple years old and is running XP that i use specifically for maple. I'll post my results when i actually try it.

I'm on Vista. The guy in the video is on Vista as well

I majored in Networking a lot and learned about how packets are processed, but I've never tinkered with that stuff because I don't know 100% what I'm doing. You can change priority of packets, I know that much.

Tl;dr: QoS

Enjoy. Also, yes, you can set it so that media has the highest priority and you'll lag significantly less.

Well I did it on XP and noticed the difference but on 7 I didn't see any difference really.

If I want to disable this, do I just change the value to 0 or delete the registry whole value?

I just deleted it to disable.

I'm pretty surprised this is news, it has been there since the SP1 of WinXP, if not before. I actually think I recall this feat being available on WinME.
