Yet Another Warlock Nerf

Although this post is labeled as jokes, these guys are serious.

This new medicine apparently improves your gaming performance - if there is any truth in what the German based producer Tomarni GmbH have to say.

Tomarni have said that the FpsBrain medicine enhances your reactions, increases your perception and stops your hands from shaking – and all this starts to take affect in around 60 minutes.

I can certainly see the use for it - sometimes my hands start to shake so much after loosing arena matches I'd strangle my cat or something. Good thing I don't have one.

I prefer the good ol' coffee, but if you're into this sort of drugs, you can get 60 capsules for 19.99€ on fpsbrain.com.

Unlike the previous trick with using Windows Media Player, this one worked for me. I was surprised to see my latency dropping from 120-150 to about 50, so read on to find out how.

For this you will need to dig a bit deeper into the registry of your PC, but don't get scared, it's much easier than you may think.


First, go to Start > Run, and type regedit.

A window should pop up.
Find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\

At this point you can click on Favorites > Add to favorites in the menu and add it so you can quickly browse to it in the future.

Now you need to find your network interface. There are probably more than one listed, so check each one. The one where your IP address is listed is what you're looking for. If you can't find it, just select the one with the most values in the right pane.
Now, right click on the right pane and select New > DWORD value. Name it TcpAckFrequency. Right click on this entry, select Modify, and in Value Data field type "1" (no quotes).

Click OK and go to next step.

Now find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters

And again, right click somewhere on the right pane, choose New > DWORD value. Name it TCPNoDelay, right click the entry, select Modify and set a value of 1 again.
Click OK and close the Registry Editor.

You're done. Restart your PC and go check your latency!

Disclaimer: don't blame me if you mess up something! Follow the steps and everything should go smooth with no harm done. If you have any problems, you're welcome to post a comment and I'll try to help. Thanks to elitistjerks for this.
This worked for me like a charm on Windows Xp. If you're using Vista, I got no idea if it works or not.

Be sure to tell me if this worked for you!

> Increasing WoW performance II: Latency

I've tried it myself and it didn't work, but there's a lot of players reporting it does indeed help in some cases. It sounds weird but if your game loads slow, try running Windows Media Player prior to WoW.
It should help with loading time, low FPS issues and even latency problems.

As someone mentioned in the thread, Mac users should get the same effect by running Quicktime.

Let me know if it works!
