Windows 7 Latency Registry Fix
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 11:04 pm
After setting up Windows 7 and finally fixing WoW freezing up at the loading screen, I noticed my normal latency just about doubled. I was sitting anywhere from 400 to 500ms where I am normally around 200.
I tried a number of different things, but these fixes worked for me:
*USE THIS ONLY ON WINDOWS 7*
* Open Regedit
* Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
* Find the interface folder that is currently in use. It will be the one that has an IPAddress and the most fields.
* Right click on the interface and choose New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it: “TcpAckFrequencyâ€
