Prioritizing Connection with Regedit?

Post by carnavol1 »

So as I was strolling around youtube, I stumbled across a couple videos of people saying that they "Modified their regedit" or made a certain packet to prioritize their latency, as seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=NmghJQLAifc . This guy said it messed up his CPU, but I was told from another source that he just put the value too high, causing his pc to wear down. Another person who supposedly also found this type of regedit said it misplaces him in the game, and just makes him overpowered, given the connection boost this supposed method gives. I know it isn't TCPNoDelay, or ACKFrequency, because that barely does anything in the game, where these people claim it's night and day for them. So I am wondering after numerous hours of research on regedit packets/tutorials on how to improve you connection, if something like this exists. Tdlr; Is there a regedit packet that prioritizes and makes your connection better, or even gives you lag, but sacrifices your CPU power? Sorry, I'm probably not using the correct terminology but you guys are the first I came to to ask this since you seem reputable as a community.

"All it does is it increases your connection, your ping and your latency, so, like, say..." and it keeps going blabbing about for 5 minutes without any actual information. I want my 5 minutes back ! ;) Improving ping/latency/rtt is reducing it, not increasing it.
Anyway, it is just anecdotal, there is no substance or actual usable information in that video whatsoever. Your other source that says it is "causing his pc to wear down" seems just as reliable, as PCs don't wear down differently based on TCP/IP settings, they only affect your internet connection. I can see how some extreme setting can use up more memory or CPU for the same connection, but not "wear down" your PC. Please excuse the rant, but I couldn't resist.

And yes, they're all talking about TcpAckFrequency and TcpNoDelay for Minecraft on Youtube. The article above is much more comprehensive. If you ever find another setting please let us know and I'll be happy to look at it. Just

See, that's what I thought, however multiple videos assumed to use the same method explicity state how they are not using TCPNoDelay or ACKFreq, and that explains why they can a lot better hits. https://gyazo.com/193db2f2085b153b80037b4a06af56a4

So, do we know what exactly they changed?
