A Quick Question

[BrianStephan]

Do In game Addons affect latency? If so say u have 14mb running how badly will it affect it?

Mods that communicate with other mods... how to put this... like Threat/Dmg meters can start eating bandwidth (not much tho)

others like SCT, Atlas etc dont

 

[Strobemeister]

Agreed, that was the only mod that ever affected my performance. I now use Omen.

Depends on the memory needed to run the addon.
The ammount of information it sends out or collect, and the size and speed of your PC.
However latency self should not be affected unless you play on a 56k line. However you can still get lag/ game spikes from various addons.

Addons

And if ur addons use about 14mb? I have a 4mbps connection unshaped account

Then no unless you have like 256Mb ram, and can barely run wow

I have 50-70mb addons in the page file, and have no lag or latency issues.

No problem there then have 2G of DDR2 800 Ram

No but it will affect your pc preformance if you dont have alot of ram Frames per second
14m dude you have alot of adons and some may cause you to dc dont think they will cause lag.
