Home vs. World Latency: SHORT VERSION: 'world' is all you care about, 'home' means nothing to you.

FULL VERSION: Blizzard recently changed the way the in-game latency is reported, and has confused a lot of people. Hopefully this video will clear things up and explain what exactly is the difference between home and world latency.

  • I've never used a tunneling service but my latency is 22-22 on one server I play on and 68-68 on another. How?

    Google search "TCPOptimizer.exe" and/or "Leatrix Latency Fix" (You may only need one or the other, but I used both anyway).

    You're welcome...

  • @TheZenoid Yep but be careful with those fixes. They change the TCP Ack delay for your ENTIRE computer, not just your games... there have been reports where this has hosed people's networking abilities so, just be careful.

  • can you give me the link to that live latency addon you have plz? :P

  • @silentpiet I got it from SmoothPing . com a while back... don't remember where exactly but that's where it came from.

  • You could read this

    eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/top­ic/1710231176

    first!

  • @bobsort Yes, and if that post had existed when I made this video... perhaps I could've read it. It was posted later the same day.

see all

  • @rulomen3100 You are absolutely right about transport layer being L4. I was generally talking TCP/IP which actually is L4(TCP) and L3(IP) and it's difference from SSH (which spans the session, presentation and applications layers L5/6/7), and how they are both being used. Good pick up though, I better read what I write before posting it next time :P, might make another rookie mistake. I work with an ISP so we do a lot of tuning in our network when it comes to these things.

  • @gnomeoh

    The transport layer is L4 OSI model.
