Waysto: Reduce Your Aion Ping

Another gem of an aion guide from Jasdemi. A quick look at reducing Pings while you play Aion. But please do take necessary backups before you play around with your registry. We have had a lot of experiences in being overly excited and screwing along the way. Take care..play safe Please add any more comments if you have any…

Aion Large Ping

So many people were QQ’ing about their super-high pings lately, so I decided to share some tweaks with you! My average ping in Aion is 25ms btw.
(to check your ping ingame, type /ping in the chat)

Let’s start with my two favourite tweaks

TPCAckFrequency and TCP NoDelay are disabled by default. Enabling them may lower your ping by up to 50%(or even more).

WARNING: Edit your registry step by step like in the following guides. Do not touch there anything else if you
don’t know what you’re doing, you may mess it up. Better do it slow, but carefully.

TcpAckFrequency (alternate, easy way: Leatrix Latency Fix script. Thanks to @Remaxer for sharing this.)

Click on your Windows icon on the left corner, type regedit and
confirm with ENTER. (XP users must enter it in
Run). A new window will open. Here you can edit your registry.
Go to the following directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\
Multiple interfaces should be there now. (e.g.
{385D50B4-99B9-4290-ABAA-2B3CCDDECBD1})
Now check every single of them and find out what is the right one. The one
we’re looking for has usually the most entries and contains your computer IP,
DHCP informations, etc. (Note: If you’re too dumb to can’t find the right one,
just do all the following changes for all of them.
Now right-click in the right hand panel and choose: New > DWORD
(32bit) Rename the newly created file to
TcpAckFrequency
Right click it and select Modify. A new window will open, enter
1 into the Value data box and confirm with OK
We’re done with this one. Check out if this reduced your ping.

TCP NoDelay

Click on your Windows icon on the left corner, type regedit and
confirm with ENTER. (XP users must enter it in
Run). A new window will open. Here you can edit your registry.
Go to the following directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters (if it
doesn’t exist, create one. Registry folder is called is called a
key)
Now right-click in the right hand panel and choose: New > DWORD
(32bit) Rename the newly created file to TCPNoDelay
Right click it and select Modify. A new window will open, enter
1 into the Value data box
and confirm with OK
Check if it has reduced your pings

SmoothPING

SmoothPING is a proxy
server. I haven’t tested it myself, but many Aion users confirm ping drops up to
50%. It’s not free, there is a 20 minutes trial available though. It’s more
than enough time to see if it reduced your ping or not. Give it a shot!

Want more?

The 3 above are the ultimate lag killers, if they didn’t reduce your ping, you
might troubleshoot this:

Is your internet connection fast enough to handle Aion? A broadband connection is
required.
Are programs running in the background, like torrents or something else that may
consume your bandwidth too much?
Pointless internet securtiy
bullshit running? Turn it off
temporally and see if it helped.
Ports forwarded? 2106, 7777,
10241 should be open
Last but not least, stop downloading prons ffs!
