Step 2 - Open Program

Next, open the unzipped folder and Double click "W3DR". Delay Reducer will only work when Warcraft3 is running. However, you do not need to run Delay Reducer before you run Warcraft3. **If any errors occure then you will need to download .Net Version 2 Framework here. Otherwise proceed to the Handling Instructions with the running of your Delay Reducer**


Step 3 - Handling Options

Right click the Delay Reducer icon in the task bar. Enter the desired value into the text box and press Enter. If the text box is disabled it means that either Warcraft III is not running or the Delay Reducer is unable find Warcraft III. You may also alter the delay in the game by entering the following information into the Warcraft 3 Chat screen: !dr "Desired number" (Example: !dr 75) It is recommended that you stay in between 30-80 depending on your connection.

Step 6 - Further Notes

Appendix Compendium:
- You don't have to remake the game if you forget to open W3DR, just open it whilst the game is in a commenced state and change the latency.
- You don't have to have W3DR open the whole game. Change it once and all future games will be delay free (until you close Warcraft).
- This is only for the host, if the host is not using W3DR then you will have delay, if the host is using W3DR then all players will have reduced delay (even if players dont have W3DR).
- Players using GGC, LC, Hamachi and LAN can now reduce delay.
- Vista users need admin priviliges.
- The recommended latency setting is 75, it will allow for international players to connect to you with minimal delay, without having to deal with any Delay/Lag spikes.
