Reduce Lag and Improve Ping Guide

[SakuraInoue]

1) Instead of confusing people into regedit'ing and possibly breaking shit: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...atencyFix.html

2) No, just no, Your ISP's DNS server should be the fastest. It's usually in your ISP's local network instead of having to go to an internet exchange (which is 99% of the times slower) to reach a 3rd party DNS server. Only use different DNS servers if you suspect your ISP of feeding you crap (read blocking websites).

3) Bullshit, leave managing the registry to windows itself. Any third party tool that thinks it understands it will just cause fuckups.

4) I have a *very* good connection. I have the 0.3 problems yet WTFast ect only increases my lag by 4% (according to it's software). Square Really needs to fix this server issue



5) Stop reading wrong shit

Firstly, THANK YOU! i was trying to find that Leatrix program forever since i reinstalled windows but just couldnt remember the name of it.

Secondly, i would like to point out speed test sites such as you used in your're pic dont mean crap for this game, you need to cmd ping ip the actual severs ip, these can be obtained using such package monitoring tools such as wireshark.

To answer your points:
1) I understand not everyone will get how the registry fixes work, in the video I explained it slowly and clearly. I added the Leatrix link to the description a while ago.
2) After calling my ISP about the DNS the technical support said they prefer using Google Public DNS over their own too. Namebench reported a 187% increase for me.
3) The point about the third party tools I suggested is that they are 100% free and always will be. I would say that spending money on a registry cleaner would be a complete waste.
4) Square Enix did say that in dungeon/raids they will be reducing the 0.3 position checker. For me WTFast improved my latency from 480ms to 260ms, which is a game changer for me.

This video was simply my own experience of how to improve lag as well as make my internet browsing experience better and I was just sharing it in case it might be useful for others.
