Well it’s just gone 02:00 as I right this and I’m level 70. Ended up working from 18:00-23:00 in additon to the morning so it has taken me till now to get the 2 levels for today!

Due to being away at least one day this weekend, and anything else that might crop up, I have decieded to stay up tonight and keep leveling and see how high it can take me.

Anyway, enough about me – how about something for you guys?

How I reduced my latency by 80% in 2 minutes.

Whopse, I typed 90% by mistake in to the title… it’s 80% – still a major major reduction though!

Simply download Leatrix Latency Fix from WoWInterface, extract the zip file and double click Install.vbs and then restart your computer.

Now for the hard part…

Or not! There is no hard part – that was it!

Doing so reduced my latency from 120ms to just 25ms instantly, which is just remarkable. And it isn’t just some fancy number change, it really is that low – consistantly. It’s a joy to be playing at this time of night with 19ms, and you can only wonder how helpful this will be in arenas or raiding where latency really matters most.

Now there are some caveats, so you should read through the documentation on WoWInterface carefully. Most notably it only works on the follow operating systems.

• Windows XP (SP2 or higher)
• Windows Vista (SP1 or higher)
• Windows 7

So it looks like Mac/Linux/other users are out of luck… or are very lucky to not be using Windows, depending how you look at it ;)
