Latency Issue - WoW

Liam · 20 Jan 2008 at 12:14

Recently over the past few days I have been experiancing latency issue and im getting around 350-400+ms and my bar which has been green for the last 2 years has now gone to dull green!

I've not changed any settings at all, just happened over the last few days?

Any suggestions?

Cheers

have you opened up the ports on your router/modem for wow? I have better latency since doing this

Yes mate, could you tell me what ports you have open?

It happened over the last few days and i've changed nothing!

I have never had a problem with wow, ever.

its probably some problem in the routing between you and the server.

There has been poor performance/lag/disconnection issues since the 2.3 patch. Read the forums, there's loads on it.

Since 2.3 patch, WoW actually lags my Q6600 and 8800GTS :S drops to <20fps in some instances (Ramparts is the worst). Again, check the forums about this.

FPS isn't the issue, its my latency.... jumping to red now!

Still having issues no matter what time of the day I play... Internet is generally quite slow too! It's not a realm issue because ive tried others.

any ideas?

2.3.3 patch should be on tonight I belive (currently without a net connection at home so dunno if its the case) and pretty sure I saw some latency fix issues in it. Do a google for wow 2.3.3 patch notes and im sure you'll get a few good hits.

There was once an issue with certain network drivers having an advanced option that needed tweaking, might still help. Will post back if I find/remember anything on it.

isp?

Zen have been having problems of late afaik

If it is your isp routing issue then best of luck. One of the factors me quiting back when they had problems with Nildram. They didnt care. Getting kicked out of raids because of no fault of my own wasnt fun.

I'm getting 1-1.5mb speeds when AOL confirmed that my line is good for 4-5mb!

Maybe i'll call them up and say I would like to cancel my package please! Been with them for 6-7 years, back in the Dial-up stage!

Today has been the worse so far, getting latency from 350-600 which makes it unplayable!
