I use it on XP and halved my latency though I just play one time zone away from my own. I just wanted to clarify that Leatrix Latency Fix is not Vista specific.

Resigned as GM, handed it to my offtank from the tier 6 days, and have decided to take a break from MT'ng after tanking 8 consecutive tiers. Gonna kick back and take it easy for a bit, pvp and dps time for me. I'm still keeping up with tanking t-craft, and I will still be tanking for my 10m crew (gotta have my meta frostwyrm from icecrown), but essentially yeah I'm done tanking for now.

It's a good tweak. I blogged on that too, but didn't know about the handy script! <a href="../../../06/11/improving-fps-and-latency/" rel="nofollow">My post</a>.</p> Suffer - you're not tanking? Just dps now? Thanks. It’s a good tweak. I blogged on that too, but didn’t know about the handy script! My post.

Suffer – you’re not tanking? Just dps now?

My entire guild's used it now with results from 150ms- 90 ms drops (including a dps warr reporting a 27 ms ping now!). So I felt the need to share the link as its not a keylogger or anything of that sort and it does an exceptional job (dropped me from 240ms average to ~90ms ping). http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13581-LeatrixLatencyFix.html It's a pretty simple tweak to how windows by default digests network traffic, seems Microsloth felt the need to prioritize EVERYTHING to the cpu with vista despite having hardware to handle it elsewhere. It also comes with a sister script to remove itself should you for some reason end up with issues, wonderful for those of us who have disastorous luck with registry editing. All the registry tweak does is tell vista to stop waiting on a second ping before sending an aknowledgement, and instead tells it to behave how it always did (screw efficiency, we want performance). Keep up the good work Grav, I'm no longer tanking but still feel compelled to glance at your blog pretty much daily.
