I normally run 300-250 latency. After using the fix I am at 100.

For anyone that wants to know how it works before even clicking the link to find out:
posted:
How It Works
Online games generally use the TCP protocol which requires that network segments sent to your computer be acknowledged in order to provide a reliable connection. Windows bundles these acknowledgements together and sends them in pairs. While this is an efficient way of dealing with them generally, the inevitable delays caused by the bundling process increase latency considerably. This is because when Windows queues up an acknowledgement in order to bundle it with the following one, the game server has to wait for the acknowledgement timer to expire before sending new data. Leatrix Latency Fix removes the acknowledgement bundling process so that an acknowledgement is sent immediately for every segment that's received. This produces a significant reduction in latency as there is no longer a delay before new data is sent to your computer. In a normal networking environment, you would prioritise network efficiency over latency and use the Windows defaults, but in online games the opposite is true and you want the lowest latency you can possibly get.]

I'm betting once he reformats, the script will also have stolen and ebay'd all his gold.
I enjoyed towards the bottom of the page where there were a couple of bullet points reminding the user to make sure you provide the script with admin privileges and ignore any antivirus messages that pop up.

Wait, you people think Leatrix isn't legit? Hahaha. Leatrix has been around for years, and it works just fine. It will cut your ping in half, or more. If you managed to mess up installing it, you're pretty terrible at computers.

Went from average of 80 latency to average of *15* latency. Insanity.

I did not realize you were monitoring my account status, I am flattered. You are completely wrong as usual, but still flattered.
I prefer to think of myself here as a lightning rod for intelligent debate and addiction intervention, not normal trolling. Tyvm.

It only appears to reduce your latency by sending an ACK packet for every one you receive. The wow servers still send them in pairs.

Yeah, the real question is do people notice a significant difference in gameplay. And I'm sure many will just due to placebo...

Disabled and deleted this thing late last night. Did an instance and had the strangest latency issue. I could see incoming data changes, like party members moving and chatting, but all my outgoing data changes were on a 10 second delay. Was a horrible, horrible mess. Once I disabled it and rebooted, I was back to normal.

I believe I posted in the previous thread. It dropped my latency significantly in both wow and bad company 2.

Also been using it for years.
All it does is deal with windows' built-in throttling of tcp/ip...
I recommend to all my guildies that have latency issues, do new windows installs, and/or aren't already familiar with it.
