Last night I had 8000ms lag in 25 mans, but my local latency was fine. I dont know if that was my local connection or what. I had to pull out the raid.

Lepetiet, you've got mail. :D


Avert, awesome to see people like you try help out in this way!
 
Hey all. Ive been doing some trials with Avert pre 3.3.2 patch and the results were amazing. Used ProxyCap 3.23 (im on Win 7 x64). Since the patch tho ive been unable to log in with the tunneler, ProxyCap freezes up WoW after i enter the password and FreeCap 64bit errors out just as i run the exe. Any Win7 64 users out there using the service able to give me some pointers as to how to get things up and runnning again?
 
I trialed it using the tools from smoothping and just changing the settings to work with his server and worked no problem. Got the occasional wow error on launch, but that's it.

@avert, apologies for my tardiness will throw some money at you asap, work has been kinda my prio recently.

Which one of the Smoothping packages did you use and are you also on win7 x64 mayb? If possible cud u PM me the link m8? Thx
 
Thx alot m8, will try that tonight. IIRC Freecap gave me a 'Wow.exe has stopped working' the moment i launch it.Mayb using the older version will solve it. Fingers crossed!
 
Sigh - no luck still. i dont know if im maybe setting up the Putty wrong or what the heck i might be messing up but i get the same results no matter what kind of apps i use. The guide to setting up Putty is down also.
 
Personally I may not be using this service, but I use Sockscap32 with my own server and never have problems, maybe once every second week WoW will crash but generally speaking its more than fine.
 
I really dont know what i seem to be doing wrong..... Ive tried Putty, as well as Putty x64.... the tunnel opens fine (or at least i think so... it asks for details and at the end says login successful), but regardless of what application i use then it refuses to log in. Proxycap 3.23 = Hangs WoW after password is entered (as if it cant find it), Freecap x64 = Crashes wow... 3rd time lucky it launches it, hangs after password is entered ; Sockscap32 = Refuses to open WoW. ; Wipecap = Hangs after password. Sigh...

The Putty settings im using are : avert.za.org Port 22, SSH -> Tunnels -> Remove 443, add Dynamic 1080 then launch and enter account details. After that is Login Successful, but then nada.

are you running any kind of 3rd party software firewall that interferes with windows's network subsystem?

Not that i know of... Im running Win7 x64 with the firewall turned OFF, but Windows Defender is running. I have made a few tweaks to my Router Config last week. Mayb turned the firewall on again on that, but i dont see how that could affect it.
 
Quick question , do you see the "Latest News" box on the left when you start up wow using the software you mentioned?

Ive been looking out for that as well and no, i dont. The moment WoW starts up and i dont see that i kinda already know its not gonna work :\
 
Then there is definitely something blocking the proxy app (putty) from accessing the internet.

Also , the software isn't causing wow to hang , wow handles the event of you trying to log in without access to the net very badly.

edit: wait , you're using proxifier to configure wow to route your wow traffic through putty?

Thats cool - thats about as much as i figured... but i think the tunneler (Putty) can access the internet fine, seeing i get reply from Avert's server asking for username and pass, ultimately followed by Login Successful. Now if i understand the concept of tunneling correctly Putty makes this 'tunnel' between the server and the predefined port (1080). You then tell your socketing application to go look on your 127.0.0.1:1080 (which is in fact your own PC, thus pointing it toward the tunnel) and that program relays the connectivity towards the application it is running. Now since putty works fine i assume its getting the connection, but the socketing application is not picking up the tunnel on 1080 (mayb localhost / 127.0.0.1 is not accepting connections on 1080, who knows, but i can ping 127.0.0.1) so its must be a port issue. this could lead to 'no connectivity' going into the application and it indeed not being able to connect and timing out rather that hanging. What just baffles me is why 1080 would be blocked since im clearly telling putty to put the connection there and the socketing app to search for it there.
 
Hmmm as i posted my reply i thought of that as per my edit are you using proxifier and has it worked before?

Also , the "connectivity app" is configuring wow correctly otherwise it would've just connected using your normal routing. So maybe you're onto something :/

I knew there was one i havent tried yet, Proxifier would be it. But i HAVE idd used Proxycap 3.23 (64bit) just before last week and it worked just fine. Since the SAT3 break / 3.3.2 WoW patch something kinda got lost.(Ive tried ProxyCap now to no avail, as well as SocksCap, FreeCap, WideCap). I might go and check my router config that i played with again tonight and try out proxifier. Also gonna try using a port sniffer to indeed determine if 127.0.0.1:1080 is receiving data from Putty.
 
Just my monthly check-up. I hope everything is ok.

I am also running a Mumble server( http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumble_(software) )
It has some cool features like positional audio and being optimized for gaming and low latency and normalization(hooray).

So if you are currently using gordon and are interested in voice chat for arena/raiding/whatever, pm me for the details.
