Latency? Over 9000?

#0 - Oct. 20, 2010, 9:27 a.m.

I've been doing the tricky treats all around the world achievements and my latency has stayed at 100 consistently. When I try to do something with others i.e BG, raid or anything that has to do with a group for that matter. My latency goes sky-high. Now wtf is this? I don't understand. This is the first time that his has happened to me.

It can't be my internet connection. Also when I go into a instance after wiping the loading screen just stays there so I have to task manager quit the client and restart. I turned off that peer-to-peer thing since some told me it just makes you lag. The lag is still there only when I try to do something with others. Not when I'm just browsing around the world.

Anyone know anything?

Try the cogwheel workaround, Ahrims. You may not be being disconnected, but it does sound like you may be getting flooded with information.

We've had good reports that these commands will work as a temporary aid until the issue of instability associated with 'cogs' is permanently addressed. This may also help with some freezing issues when zoning into a BG or instance, although resetting your UI (complete method) is still recommended if you find your game freezing even with tooltips turned off via the macro below.

You will need to create two macros, one to "turn off tooltips" and one to "turn on tooltips".

Turn Off Tooltips

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);

Turn On Tooltips

/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);
