Leatrix Latency Fix 3

How It Works

Introduction

Online games generally use the TCP protocol which requires that network segments sent to your

computer be acknowledged in order to provide a reliable connection.

Windows bundles these acknowledgements together and sends them in pairs. While this is an

efficient way of dealing with them generally, the inevitable delays caused by the bundling

process increase latency considerably.

This is because when Windows queues up an acknowledgement in order to bundle it with the

following one, the game server has to wait for the acknowledgement timer to expire before

sending new data.

Leatrix Latency Fix removes the acknowledgement bundling process so that an

acknowledgement is sent immediately for every segment that's received. This produces a

significant reduction in latency as there is no longer a delay before new data is sent to your

computer.

In a normal networking environment, you would prioritise network efficiency over latency

and use the Windows defaults, but in online games the opposite is true and you want the

lowest latency you can possibly get.

Is Leatrix Latency Fix against the terms of service for any online games?

No, it's a local change to your computer's network configuration, nothing more. It's

completely safe to use.

Typical Scenario

If you could listen to a conversation between your computer and the game server, this is what you

would hear. Before Leatrix Latency Fix is installed:

Server: "Ok computer, I just sent a data packet over to you, got it?" Your computer: ... Server: "Come on, answer me! I don't have all day! Stop wasting time!" Your computer: ... Server: "Ok, forget it, I've waited long enough, sending another one over! Got it?" Your computer: "Yep, got that one, also got the one you sent before, thanks." Server: "Well, why didn't you acknowledge the first one when I sent it? I was waiting ages!" Your computer: "Sorry, I'm just trying to make the network more efficient by bundling the

acknowledgements together in pairs. This is how I'm setup by default."

After Leatrix Latency Fix is installed:

Server: "Ok computer, I just sent a data packet over, got it?" Your computer: "Yep, send the next!" Server: "That was fast! Ok, here's another, got that?" Your computer: "Yep, send the next!" Server: "Wow! What an improvement! Now that's more like it!"

Your computer: "Yep, it's certainly keeping me on my toes, thanks!"

Click that to download

You should be getting this file as shown in the pic below.

Simply download the zip file, extract it;

and then run Leatrix_Latency_Fix_3.00.exe. When the program launches, click the Install

button. You will see the status change from 'Not Installed' to 'Installed'. You need to restart your

computer (or disable/enable your network card) for the changes to take effect.

Your Windows account needs to have Administrator rights in order to install or remove Leatrix

Latency Fix. If your Windows account doesn't have Administrator rights, you will be prompted

for the credentials of an account that does have them.

After Leatrix Latency Fix has been installed, you can login to your online games with reduced

latency!

To uninstall Leatrix Latency Fix, click the remove button and restart your computer.

For reference, the status line in the program will show 3 possible tags. 'Installed' indicates that

all network interfaces have been modified for reduced latency. 'Not Installed' indicates that no

network interfaces are modified for reduced latency. 'Partially Installed' indicates that some

network interfaces have been modified for reduced latency. You will see this status tag if you

add a new network card (or perhaps a USB modem) after the installation of Leatrix Latency Fix.

There is a FAQ covering pretty much everything

Is this spyware, a trojan or any other nasty thing?

No. Wowinterface administrators have repeatedly confirmed that Leatrix Latenxy Fix is safe (you

can read their reports in the comments on Wowinterface).

Sharing is knowledge, and a lot of players are not sharing. Yes, it gives you and edge, or advantage, but

it leaves also many people clueless. The objective of these tutorials, is to teach, learn, educate players so ALL players have

a better under understanding of the game. The more players participate, the better the overall experience is for all players.

More attacking and defending means “lively” domains full of activity.
