windows tweaks guide. (Nagle's Algorithm and system gaming responsiveness)

Nagle’s Algorithm
Nagle’s algorithm combines several small packets into a single, larger packet for more efficient transmissions. This is designed to improve throughput efficiency of data transmission. Disabling “nagling” can help reduce latency/ping in some games. Nagle’s algorithm is enabled in Windows by default.

To implement this tweak, modify the following registry keys.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{NIC-id}
For the {NIC-id}, look for the one with your IP address listed. Under this {NIC-id} key, create the following DWORD value:

TcpAckFrequency and set it to 1 to disable “nagling” for gaming.

TCPNoDelay and set it also to 1 to disable “nagling”

TcpDelAckTicks and set it to 0

Note: Some reports say that the tweaks did reduce latency when playing Dota 2 and League of Legends but it doesn’t work for some. I have tried it and my latency improved from 110 to 90ms (SEA Server) when playing Dota 2.

Network Throttling Index
Windows implements a network throttling mechanism, the idea behind such throttling is that processing of network packets can be a resource-intensive task. It is beneficial to turn off such throttling for achieving maximum throughput.

To implement this tweak, run regedit and modify the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile. Under SystemProfile, create a DWORD value and name it to “NetworkThrottlingIndex” then set its Hexadecimal value to ffffffff for gaming and max throughput: ffffffff completely disables throttling.

System Gaming Responsiveness
Multimedia streaming and some games that uses “Multimedia Class Scheduler” service (MMCSS) can only utilize up to 80% of the CPU. The “Multimedia Class Scheduler” service (MMCSS) ensures prioritized access to CPU resources, without denying CPU resources to lower-priority background applications.

To implement this tweak, run regedit and modify the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile. From there, create a new DWORD and name it to “SystemResponsiveness” set its hexadecimal value to 00000000 for pure gaming/streaming.

In the same Registry hive as the above tweak, you can also change the priority of Games. To implement this tweak, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games and change the following registry values:

“GPU Priority” change its values to 8 for gaming.

“Priority” set to 6 for gaming.

~ Reboot your PC to confirm and apply the changes ~

This one began as a dream.

I once dreamed of Japan — cliffs draped in cherry blossoms, walkways glowing under twilight, and water that shimmered like painted silk. When I told Fred about it, he didn’t laugh or brush it off. He simply said, “Let’s build it.”

And so we did.

But there’s one moment that sealed Zensational's Sakuragawa into my heart forever.
Two years ago, on Easter morning, I logged in to find the most beautiful gift waiting for me: the glowing blue bell flowers you’ll see along the river, created by Fred and quietly placed into the land like a blessing. No announcement, no fanfare — just a pure act of creativity and kindness.

That morning, the whole region felt touched by magic.

On this day of giving thanks, I want to honor that spirit — Fred’s imagination, his generosity, and the way he brings life to every idea I hand him. Zensational's Sakuragawa exists because he believed in a dream I tried to describe half-awake.

Now I’m inviting the OpenSim community to come walk inside that dream.

Explore the bridges and lantern paths.
Rest beneath the cherry trees.
Follow the glowing flowers gifted on Easter morning.
Let this region remind you how beautiful a shared vision can become.

Visitors, photographers, wanderers — you’re welcome here.

Come see what happens when a dream is met with friendship, creativity, and the simple magic of someone saying, “Let’s make it real.”

I am thankful for you @FerdFrederix 😘 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

Athena – dreimal Stil, dreimal Magie.

Mal wild wie ein nächtlicher Tanz auf glühendem Asphalt, mal ein Feuerwerk aus Farben, das den Sommer küsst, mal die stille Eleganz einer Frau, die weiß, was sie will.

Jede Silhouette erzählt von Mut zur Mode, von Lust am Spiel, von einem Blick, der sagt: Ich bin da – und ich bleibe. Athena ist kein Outfit. Athena ist ein Gefühl.

Mercado Navideño, en nuesto sim el Sueño de Jhon, vestuarios, regalos, decoración, y una gran pista de patinaje sobre hielo, donde pasareis momentos navideños super agradables , encontrareis a nuestro Papa Noel donde haceros la foto de recuerdo de esta Navidad 2025, os esperamos

It's Thanksgiving Eve in the USA and after today's news about the passing of our dear friend Luna Lunaria, I got to thinking how blessed I am for having known her, and then I looked at my friends lists and thought, how blessed I am for all of my friends! Then I looked at all the comments and posts in Discord and here in OSW and except for a few really mean ones.... belittling others...complaining about this and that, everyone in Open Sim is so kind, such great creators, performers.... and I thought.... why isn't everyday Thanksgiving?
So, I would like to ask that tomorrow, everyone, no matter what you celebrate, how you believe or where you live.... take a minute to thank someone for being in your life! Take a minute to send that apology.... make that sweet compliment...say I AM THANKFUL FOR YOU!! Why on Earth should we wait for a special holiday or event to do that? We should be grateful every single day for this life we have been given!!
And... I am :)
I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL OF YOU!
Hugggs and love,
Harmony Jo!

Dear Tommy and Paristella,

Open your eyes!

The biggest troublemaker is Icelady!

Den Termin für dieses Gespräch hatte Edward Lennard vermittelt, nachdem John Blacky ihn danach gefragt hatte , wann er denn einmal Prinz Lennard sprechen könne. Eddy empfing John auf dem Anwesen der Lemonds und führte ihn hinein ins Haus wo er im Kaminzimmer bereits erwartet wurde.

There are actually users who create anonymous OSW accounts to claim that they use fake avatars at their parties, which is simply not true. Such people don't have the courage to express themselves with their real accounts—how pathetic.

Dear enemies, haters, liars, and false friends, we still have so much for you to gossip about!

Patience, Patience...........

Ci sono effettivamente utenti che creano account OSW anonimi per affermare che utilizzano avatar falsi alle loro feste, il che semplicemente non è vero. Queste persone non hanno il coraggio di esprimersi con i loro account reali: che cosa patetica.

Cari nemici, haters, bugiardi e falsi amici, abbiamo ancora molto su cui spettegolare!

Pazienza, pazienza...

There are actually users who create anonymous OSW accounts

I too join in the condolences for Luna. I was completely shocked when I read this. She was a good friend and always gave me tips on how I could improve or could do it better. We had many intense conversations. I will miss her. Rest in peace!

🌹 Memorial Note for Luna Lunaria

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Luna Lunaria, a beloved friend, visionary creator, and cherished member of our community.

Just two days ago, Luna left us suddenly due to a massive heart attack, leaving all who knew them in shock and sorrow.

Luna was the heart behind Lunaria’s Emporium and Luxor, stores that became cornerstones in OpenSim. Through these creations, countless people found joy, inspiration, and connection. Luna’s work was more than commerce—it was artistry. From buildings to intricate items, every creation carried a spark of imagination and care that made them unforgettable.

What set Luna apart was not only extraordinary talent but also a profound dedication to others. Customers were never just buyers; they were valued friends. Luna always ensured that each person felt cared for, listened to, and delighted with what they received. This compassion, paired with creative brilliance, made Luna a living legacy in every sense.

Luna’s presence will be deeply missed, but the legacy lives on in the worlds built, the communities touched, and the memories shared. To all who adored Luna and their creations, may we carry forward that same spirit of creativity, kindness, and connection.
