Reduce your Ping / Latency In game etc..

Reduce your latency and delay

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applying the tweaks below will reduce your ping and delay in games which use TCPAck (Most MMOs). Often cutting your ping in half.

1) Determine your IP (ipconfig)
2) Run Regedit
3) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
4) Determine which interface is for your IP. The correct interface will have a DhcpIPAddress set to your current IP. (If you are behind a router, it is generally 192.168.0.100 or something similar)
5) Right-click on the interface and select New->DWORD
6) Set the name to TcpAckFrequency (case sensitive)
7) Set to a decimal value of "1"
8. Download http://benediction.sentinelguild.com/msmq.reg
9) Run msmq.reg and apply to your registry.
10) Restart your computer

All these tweaks does is instead of having Windows send TCPAck packets every 2 TCP packet it receives it sends it every 1 packet it receives.
And reduces the delay which it takes to send those packets to 0.

For me it was quite noticeable for Aion. Much less delay in pretty much everything I do.

Thanks Zank.

ah it sounds so complicated

it isnt though.

If that isn't good enough to do, then download and run something from a great company, IObit, called Game Booster! It is simple to use and shuts off all of those un-needed processes running in the back of your computer while you are trying to game.

Download Game Booster (It's free)

Yeah, nothing like your screen auto-minimizing because you have a scheduled system scan going on, lol
