Windows 7 High Ping Fix

Sleepy said:

I found it after remembering back when I was on vista

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

Go into the command prompt under administrator (Right click, run as Administrator) and right click and paste. Finaly I dont need to go BACK to vista or XP :)

Sticky of you wish.

I don't notice any difference after doing this. Does this need done every time the computer is restarted or is it permanent until you re-enable it again?

Also if it does remain disabled does it also require a reboot to take effect or does it take effect immediately?

I may not have had any issues with ping but I feel like my ping in COD4 is a bit high compared to the last time I had it installed so this not working may be because I had no issue in the first place. Still If I think I can lower my ping I am willing to try.

EDIT:
After flipping around through my bookmarks I did notice that all of the pages loaded noticeably faster. I browse these same pages multiple times a day and I know which ones load slower. I notice that they all load pretty much instantly now and they all load with the same speed. This side effect is positive by all means and actually makes this worth doing in and of it's self. I really like the fact that I no longer have to wait around for certain sites to load so +1 for that :)

"Multimedia Class Scheduller" service is what caused me my lag.

Just disable the service.
windows sound is dependent on this service so you will then need to;
run regedit,
then find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Audiosrv\DependOnService
double click on it and remove MMCSS from the list

reboot and play lagfree.

I searched for HOURS and HOURS and HOURS to fix my lag issues;

This fixed it for me and dropped my ping in fear combat from 180 to a solid 50

I have just tried this one we will see how I went
Cheers

whats your ping times now?
have you rum a tracerote on the game server?

Ken

Here's the speedtest results to a chicago server. (i live in around Toronto)



But even when i ping the server i usually play on i get decent ping. This is what a traceroute is right?

Hell, i can even spec people and then get a good ping and no stuttery movements. It's once i actually start playing that my ping goes nuts.

Ill try turning off the 1 other computer in the house.

you can actually use tracert <host address / domain> in cmd instead of using a ping probe lol.. no Download needed ;P!

As far as I understand this

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

Puts it back to the default

My pings are much better now

Kinda slow upload you have for online gaming. Online gaming takes upload into account more so then download. That could be one of your problems.

here are mine

I would love to see those results from my speed test. I am waiting on cable internet but surpisingly I can game over 3G, only had 1 server ask me to leave because of ping.
