Network and NIC issues fix

[lusty cloak]

Today i want to share the guide "A Better Online Gaming Experience". As far I saw, sources in it are credible and I think it could solve some of the problems shared here on windows level. I have read it thoroughly, so I can answer some questions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=727946014

fuck you. I really don't want to read this... 😭

[lusty cloak]

Watch your mouth, mister.

[vital cobalt]

Can't, there's a beard in the way

[lusty cloak]

Sounds like "hair" problem

Here's the NIC settings for "fast" tuning.

Addendum
In case you were wondering what settings I recommend generically:

ARP Offload - Disabled
** Auto Disable Gigabit - Disabled ** - will deny gigabit capable users auto-negotiated gigabit

• Energy Efficient Ethernet - Disabled * -
  ** Flow Control - Disabled **
  ** Green Ethernet - Disabled ** -
  ** Interrupt Moderation - Disabled ** (Even MS says turn this off for low latency)
• IPv4 Checksum Offload – Disabled *
  Jumbo Frame - Disabled
  ** Large Send Offload v2 IPv4 - Disabled ** (affects net like IM, according to sys-admin blog)
  ** Large Send Offload v2 IPv6 - Disabled **
  Maximum Number of RSS Queues – X - does nothing with RSS disabled
  Network Address - Not Present
  NS Offload - Disabled
  Priority & VLAN - Disabled
  Receive Buffers - 512 (MAX Setting)
  ** Receive Side-Scaling – Disabled ** - NEEDS RESEARCH
  Speed & Duplex - Auto Negotiation
• TCP Checksum Offload IPv4 – Disabled *
• TCP Checksum Offload IPv6 – Disabled *
  Transmit Buffers - 128
• UDP Checksum Offload IPv4 – Disabled *
• UDP Checksum Offload IPv6 – Disabled *
  Wake on Magic Packet - Disabled
  Wake on pattern match - Disabled
  WOL & Shutdown Link Speed - Not Speed Down

The ** marked settings are the main culprits consistent across test subjects.
The * marked settings are one’s that you'll most want to experiment with.

Did you do a before test?

[lusty cloak]

Yes, got worse jitter before

I belive ping was the same.

[vital cobalt]

Lame.
I don't think this is worth recommending to the average person.

The guide's way too long and a lot of it can do harm if they don't know what they're doing.

[lusty cloak]

I would recomend at least disabling Energy Efficient Ethernet

and other energy efficient settings

The registry tweaks are optional and beyond the guide

there're some cmd lines, not sure if it's to high of the effort not to mess up at it.

Wouldn't be worth reading, if it were too simple to set up.

I belive some youtube guides explain it even more simply if the time is of the essence

[vital cobalt]

I'm just saying a lot of people aren't very smart and will just do stuff without reading first.

I don't want to help someone with an internet problem having found out they've changed loads of settings they don't understand or even remember changing.

[lusty cloak]

I think turning of services are more dangerous

[vital cobalt]

well yeah

[lusty cloak]

I did that too btw
