Lower Your Ping with TcpAckFrequency & TCPNoDelay

A few hints to lower your ping in many online games:

1) Run regedit and find the following location…

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\

Parameters\Interfaces\

2) Add a new DWORD (32-bit) named “TcpAckFrequency” and set its value to “1″ under the desired interface.

3) Add a new DWORD (32-bit) named “TCPNoDelay” and set its value to “1″ as well.

4) Next, find this location…

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters

5) Add a new DWORD (32-bit) naned “TCPNoDelay” and set its value to “1″.

6) Close regedit, reboot, and you’re done.

This was taken from other sites. I just put it on my blog for my own reference purposes. Enjoy!

Must. Download. Now.
