Cloudflare WARP can be tested as an optional solution. It installs directly on your computer and routes your connection through Cloudflare’s network.

WARP does not modify Zethrone, the launcher or the game files. It also does not place the Zethrone server behind Cloudflare. It only changes the network route used by your own computer.
Cloudflare WARP is completely optional and does not guarantee lower latency.
Depending on your location and Internet provider, it may:
* Reduce latency.
* Improve network routing.
* Reduce packet loss.
* Improve connection stability.
* Make no noticeable difference.
* Occasionally make the connection slower.
For this reason, we recommend testing Zethrone both with WARP enabled and disabled.
Step 1: Close Zethrone and Other VPNs
Before installing or activating WARP:
1. Close Zethrone completely.
2. Close the Zethrone Launcher.
3. Disable any other VPN, gaming VPN or proxy currently running.
4. Pause large downloads, torrents, streaming services and background updates.
Using multiple VPN or routing applications at the same time may cause connection conflicts.
Step 2: Download Cloudflare WARP
Search for the official **Cloudflare WARP** application and download the Windows version.
Only download it from Cloudflare’s official website. Do not use unofficial websites, third-party mirrors or file-sharing services.
Step 3: Install Cloudflare WARP
1. Open the downloaded installer.
2. Follow the installation instructions.
3. Accept the required conditions.
4. Wait for the installation to finish.
5. Open Cloudflare WARP.
After installation, the Cloudflare icon should appear in the Windows notification area next to the clock.
Step 4: Select the Correct Connection Mode
This is the most important step.
Open Cloudflare WARP and select:
> WARP
Depending on the installed version, it may also appear as:
> Traffic and DNS**
Do not select:
> 1.1.1.1
or:
> DNS only
The DNS-only option changes how domain names are resolved, but it does not route the game connection through Cloudflare’s network.
To test whether Cloudflare can improve your Zethrone connection, you must use the full **WARP** mode.
Step 5: Activate WARP
Use the main switch in the Cloudflare application to enable WARP.
Wait until the application displays:
> Connected
Do not start Zethrone while WARP is still showing **Connecting** or **Disconnected**.
You do not need to configure a manual proxy, IP address, server address or port. WARP works automatically at device level.
Step 6: Restart the Zethrone Launcher
Once WARP is connected:
1. Open the Zethrone Launcher.
2. Start the game normally.
3. Enter the same game mode and area where you previously experienced latency.
4. Play for at least five to ten minutes.
Starting the launcher after activating WARP ensures that the game establishes a new connection through the new route.
Step 7: Compare the Results
Test Zethrone under similar conditions with WARP enabled and disabled.
Pay attention to:
* Skill response time.
* Character movement delays.
* Enemy movement.
* Rubber-banding or teleporting.
* Sudden ping variations.
* Disconnections.
* General combat responsiveness.
Keep WARP enabled when:
* The game responds more quickly.
* Your connection feels more stable.
* Rubber-banding is reduced.
* Packet loss appears lower.
* Your latency is consistently better.
Disable WARP when:
* Your latency becomes higher.
* The game takes longer to connect.
* You experience more disconnections.
* Your connection becomes unstable.
* Your download speed decreases significantly.
* You do not notice any improvement.
WARP does not improve every connection. The result depends on your country, Internet provider and the route between your computer and the Zethrone server.
How to Disable WARP
1. Open the Cloudflare icon next to the Windows clock.
2. Turn off the main connection switch.
3. Wait until it displays **Disconnected**.
4. Close and restart the Zethrone Launcher and the game.
WARP can be enabled or disabled whenever you need it.
Troubleshooting
WARP Does Not Connect
Try the following:
1. Disable any other VPN or proxy.
2. Close and reopen Cloudflare WARP.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Check whether your antivirus or firewall is blocking the application.
5. Restart your router.
6. Try a different Internet connection, if available.
The Internet Stops Working After Enabling WARP
1. Disable WARP.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Check that your normal Internet connection works.
4. Enable WARP again and test it.
5. Leave WARP disabled if the problem continues.
Zethrone Does Not Connect with WARP Enabled
1. Disable WARP.
2. Close the Zethrone Launcher completely.
3. Restart the launcher.
4. Start the game again without WARP.
Some Internet providers or security systems may not work correctly with the alternative route used by WARP.
What WARP Can Help With
Cloudflare WARP may help with:
* High latency caused by poor routing.
* Packet loss.
* Unstable international routes.
* Sudden ping variations.
* Rubber-banding.
* Certain connection interruptions.
What WARP Cannot Fix
Cloudflare WARP cannot fix:
* Client freezes.
* Shader or asset loading.
* Low FPS.
* Damaged game files.
* Slow storage devices.
* Game bugs.
* Server-side processing problems.
* Long loading screens unrelated to the network.
A complete game freeze is not necessarily a latency problem. If the entire image stops responding, the issue may be related to the client, hardware, files or game processing rather than the Internet connection.
Final Recommendation
Cloudflare WARP should be used as an optional test, not as a requirement.
Test Zethrone with WARP enabled and disabled, then keep the configuration that provides the best connection for your location and Internet provider.
When reporting latency problems, please include:
* Your country.
* Your Internet provider.
* Your approximate ping.
* Whether WARP improved or worsened the connection.
* The game mode and area where the problem occurred.
* Whether the issue is latency, rubber-banding, disconnections or a complete client freeze.
This information will help the Zethrone team distinguish network-routing problems from client or server-performance issues.
