Windows 7: Windows 7 High Ping Fix

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.

For me, disabling the Nagle's algorithm like I did in WinXP seemed to work - lowered my latency in WoW from >200ms to ~60ms: http://wowacker.uuuq.com/

Anybody tested this? Is it safe to do? (i mean in the OP)

HunterZ ill give that a try. Although i did follow another guide which looks to be the same as what you posted (except it was all manual - which maybe i messed up on) and it hasnt helped too much.


EDIT: It worked! At least i think it did...

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

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.

A trace route is different. there is a free app called ping probe that will trace the actual route from your computer to the game server. It looks like this

you can tell from the spike which computer is slowing you down.

hope this helps

What do you mean by this? The other person in the server?

Anyways here's mine. Does it looks OK?

bottleneck is.

you see the line on the right side. at one point the response time goes way up (128ms) thats where my bottleneck is. that can help you because you can influence the path your route takes.


Hope this helps and feel fre to ask more if you need it

How so?

Ok so Im assuming you ran traceroute and found a node whose ping time is huge (more than 250 ms). Get the name for that node. then go to the games support and ask if there is another server you can use becuase of the high ping. If that doesn't work you can ask your ISP, If that doesn't work you could proxy to the game servers country. there are a ton of tricks. these are the easiest to do .
