I normally run 300-250 latency. After using the fix I am at 100.

For anyone that wants to know how it works before even clicking the link to find out:

posted:How It Works

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.]

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

I'm betting once he reformats, the script will also have stolen and ebay'd all his gold.

I enjoyed towards the bottom of the page where there were a couple of bullet points reminding the user to make sure you provide the script with admin privileges and ignore any antivirus messages that pop up.

Wait, you people think Leatrix isn't legit? Hahaha. Leatrix has been around for years, and it works just fine. It will cut your ping in half, or more. If you managed to mess up installing it, you're pretty terrible at computers.
