WoW lag with new PC, same connection.

Unified · 10-24-2009, 05:35 AM

Well I got this PC about one month ago, no problems what so ever, except my connection. I was using the same connection on my older computer and my latency was very low, while playing world of warcraft it was about 60-100ms, now I am up to 250-320ms consistently. I have no firewalls that I am aware of. Also I think it is preventing me from downloading Vista SP2. I can not download Vista SP2, I have tried everything. Please, any tips will be much appreciated, thanks in advanced.

Take a test and post back with results.

Your speeds are fine, though your ping is pretty high. I have similar speeds (higher download, same upload) but my ping is generally 8-11. Do you lag in any other games? Also have you checked for any viruses? What do you mean you cannot install vista sp2? Were do you download from and what's the error?

Unified · 10-26-2009, 02:56 PM

I check for viruses daily. I don't play any other games so I couldnt tell ya if I lag elsewere. And I get my updates from the Updater but I cannot completely download SP2 without getting error 80070002. And I also cannot install from the microsoft website neither. I plan on getting Win7 today or tomorrow anyway.

Back to the connection. With my previous computer I had good speeds but alot of latency like I am experiencing now. But that computer on a cable connection at my old location was mint, 90ms in WoW tops. Now with this FiOS connection I am doing 200ms+

Wait so when you switched you the problem started? I'll see what that code means too, I'll try to find a answer for that ASAP. I don't like version personally, always gave me terrible support. I don't know if win7 will fix it but win7 is the best so I personally recommend for anyone with a pc =). On the virus subject, what is your current security setup?

Unified · 10-26-2009, 03:05 PM

Ill scan with Kaspersky AV 2009 and that is about it. I also tried deleting temporary Update Files and that did not fix the issue with the update.

Zealex · 10-26-2009, 03:27 PM

Well, like I asked before this started happening once you switched correct? Sounds like faulty internet, maybe a bad internet cable? Do you have a spare cable/older cable you could test?

Unified · 10-27-2009, 04:52 PM

I now have Win7 Installed, and using different Ethernet cable. My game latency is still 200ms-300ms consistently. Here are my results atm.

Unified · 10-27-2009, 04:56 PM

Someone told me it could be my ports? Is this true?

Zealex · 10-27-2009, 05:01 PM

Could be... Did you recently get a router?

Unified · 10-27-2009, 05:10 PM

No, but FiOS comes with a router, Verizon MI424WR. Don't know if that helps.

Unified · 11-01-2009, 03:57 PM

Bump for help.
