| Horrible latency on WOW
After getting back from working away for a few months I came back to find that when I try to play wow I get horrible latency. I can ping all servers and they are fine but when I get in the game it just dies. I am running through Wine on linux, but I have previously played and had fine. I have been trying to figure out the problem but it escapes me. The only thing that I can think of is that Embarq is throttling wow, but that just sounds stupid. But if any one |

But when I get in game it just jumps up huge, like its not connecting, but it does receive info. |

1 edit | The only common denominator I see is your computer setup...especially if you only see the slowdown while running WoW through Wine. |

| I Play wow too and sometimes it's just where you are in the game server. Also try to play on a server you know is closer to you, this is hard cuz I know my guild plays on a server that is on the east cost but I'm in the central time zone. I played on a Chicago based server and was getting 75 ms all the time changed to the server the guild was playing on and got 90-300 ms avg. So...might just be the server!! |
