World of Warcraft: Fix Lag/Raise FPS/Lower Latency

[Zest]

International lag fix
WoW lags, it's not something new if you're playing on servers a bit far away from your country, but don't worry people are fixing it ! Out of all the methods offered to fix the lag on your machine, one of them posted on Elitistjerks forums seems to work very well.

1 - It might have side effects, like slowing down your download speed or affecting your performance on other softwares. (In my case, it didn't change anything)
2 - If you're not sure about what you're doing, just don't do it. I don't want to be responsible because you crashed your computer in some way because you wasted your registry.
2.1 - Seriously, if you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. It will be fixed in one or two weeks anyway. (and the official fix won't have any impact on other softwares)
3 - If you don't have the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSMQ directory, you can download and apply this file to your registry.
4 - Windows Vista users might want to check this post too.

"1 - TcpAckFrequency - NOTE if you are running Windows Vista this setting may not have any effect - a hotfix is needed which i'm tracking down. This works fine under Windows XP

Type "regedit" in windows "run.." dialog to bring up registry menu

Then find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParametersInterfaces

There will be multiple NIC interfaces listed in there, find the one you use to connect to the internet, there will be several interfaces listed (they have long names like {7DBA6DCA-FFE8-4002-A28F-4D2B57AE8383}. Click each one, the right one will have lots of settings in it and you will see your machines IP address listed there somewhere. Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TcpAckFrequency, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.

You can change it back to 2 (default) at a later stage if it affects your other TCP application performance. it tells windows how many TCP packets to wait before sending ACK. if the value is 1, windows will send ACK every time it receives a TCP package.

2 - TCPNoDelay
This one is pretty simple (Discussed here)

Type "regedit" in windows "run.." dialog to bring up registry menu

Then find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSMQParameters

Right-click in the right hand pane and add a new DWORD value, name it TCPNoDelay, then right click the entry and click Modify and assign a value of 1.

Click Ok and close the registry editor, then reboot your PC."

Basically, this fix is deactivating the Nagle algorithm to improve your ping. If you don't want to do it you can just wait for the 2.3.2 patch as it's supposed to deactivate it too, but I don't think you can test it on PTRs right now because the updated patch notes from the latest PTR Build (7705) are actually for the upcoming build (7710).

Merry Christmas,

I think this has been posted a fair few times before.

This one is pretty tho with its Colours

Btw disabling "Nagle algorithm" Won't improve your FPS as it to do with your network.

You didn't post your real source. This is an exact copy&paste of the news on mmo - champion .com, including the "Read this first" warning.

Here is a link: http://www.mmo - champion.com/index.php?topic=3031.0

Your source, elitistjerks.com, doesn't have this warning.

Edit: please remove the spaces in the link, otherwise it will be censored by the forum.

First of all I did not get this off of ************.com. Second of all, is this mmo-champion? i posted it here off of elitistjerks, and I am not going to let some random guy tell me I am wrong. If you don't have something good to say about something I post then don't say anything at all. How do you think you can tell ME where i got this from...?

[angra]

Already posted before thanks, and btw this has nothing to do with FPS or graphical lag

Haha you've been caught out dude

[Aneubarlorey]

I have no HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameter.
And besides, there's no boost for FPS in your post, FAIL.

[holllyywood]

This thread makes me giggle.

[chustuff]

I'm going to try this since the latest patch gave me horrible lag/fps

This is the biggest repost ever, EVER.
