high latacey rates of late

[mad-mio]

Been having problem with DDO of late with high latacey rates >1000ms. found and fixed the problem, TurbineLauncher.exe was stay open and using lot bandwidth to connect to 199.21.80.42 whois (http://whois.domaintools.com/199.21.80.42) shows that this is a turbine control IP address.

fixed by add outbound firewall rule to block to tcp traffic to 199.21.80.42 and problem solved.

not sure permanent fix as do not know what that address is for.

i thought there was a setting in the options of the launcher to turn that off. "allow launcher to stay running" or something like that

There is it's under Options>General>Keep launcher open, untick the box and the launcher will close once you log in to the game.
