what's the reason for the registry hack thingy not working on my wow/comp?

Because your line already bad? I'm using the registry tweak as well on my raiding comp. It all really depends on your connection.

If it's already bad there is no way the registry tweak would solve it.

IIRC Blizzard has disabled/redone the nat pagle algorithm, so some of the changes won't work.

My in game latency to server with the registry tweak is still around 290-350ms on good days and IP. On my laptop without the tweak I get around 490-590ms, the so call nat pagle fix is still not quite there yet

Some people are still using proxy for this reason.

i dunno but when i ping to my server using cmd...i get ping around 270-350
but in game not in that area
so does that mean bcoz of the reg hack not working or my conn is just bad?

Reformat computer? delete/rename your current WTF folder and start all over again on configuring your UI?

Deleete the WTF folder and addons folder. See what happens.

And switch from Titan Panel to Fubar, if u're using it.

oh fyi....after i reformat my pc this happened tho
lol
but im at a diff place from when i got good ping using reg hack(b4 reformat pc too)
n im using fubar or anything from wowace

What latency are u getting atm? U never mention.

well since i complained...it was never below 350ms
avg 500ms with lag spike abit

500 ms i'm happy already but only coz i don't do arenas.

Are you using Vista or XP? Coz I think someone mentioned it doesn't work for Vista.

it works on vista

im using xp

1) I think I saved about 100ms when I did the registry tweak last time, tunnel service like gamepath reduced it by another 100, bringing comfortably to 300-350. I recommend doing both if you haven't.

2) Sometimes the spikes can be graphical, especially when you are melee class on the boss so you get front row seat view of all the spell effects. Also adjusting your view distance settings for bosses like felmyst can help.

3) Also, like remi said, clear your WTF and mods occasionally. A lot of raid UIs really lag or even disconnect your PC, especially in SWP.

4) A good IP can help with the spikes. I alternate between a low latency but spiky IP (65.49.x.x) and consistent but slower IP (65.50.x.x or 218.111.x.x). Test out your connections, some fast downloading IPs are bad for WoW, and vice versa.

5) Finally, my friend had been spiking despite lowerping and registry tweaks, and his PC is amazing (Crysis and WiC at max detail). He complained to TMnut until they switched his port, and problem solved.
