Exclamation Lower Latency

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyVX4ARBMkM

This trick works for everyone, and I do mean everyone. It works in EVERY game as well!

It will lower your latency no matter what unless you have a real connection problem, like 5000ms ping... At which point it may give you 4300ms ping.

When I tested it, I dropped from 140ms ping, to now 43ms avg. woot! =)


No it's not rick rolled you ding bags.

Yes, there is a method that works for vista, I'll need to find that link...

EDIT: You just have to restart your computer, as apposed to restarting the connection.

There is a hotfix to download for Vista users, but that's ONLY if you don't have/want Service Pack 1. I'll provide that only if someone actually is not using SP1.

I'm not sure if I got SP1. Pressing Windows key + Pause I see: Windows Vista Home Premium. Copyright bla bla bla... Thats all. My Vista is original btw. Any way I could see if it has SP1?

PS: I did disable/re-enable my network card, I also reset the PC, I've also tried to kill the bridge I had between my 2 network cards, I tried removing the router too. Didn't notice any change. I feel like that cat on your avatar...

You may be screwed:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935458/en-us

Symptoms
On a computer that is running Windows Vista, you modify the TcpAckFrequency registry entry by following the steps that are described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 328890. However, the behavior of TCP acknowledgments (ACKs) does not change.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

I'm on a boring conference call right now, so I figured I would do a little research. I found this:

http://mattgadient.com/2007/12/13/kb...packfrequency/

The site has a link to a hotfix for Vista.

It's gotta get moved out of the public forums. This information cannot fall in the hands of the horde.

I can't watch the video right now, but I am guessing this fix is dependent on what software you're using. In Counterstrike I always have between 15ms(!!!) and maybe 60ms max, but always 130+ in WOW. I expect either the network WOW uses has something that causes the problem, or the game itself (perhaps among other games as well with same netcode design).
