Flashes your screen and sounds an alarm when your ping spikes — designed to keep Classic Hardcore characters alive.

Description

If LagAlarm has saved your character, consider supporting development (you’ll be redirected off CurseForge):     

 

LagAlarm is a lightweight lag monitor built for WoW Classic Hardcore players. When your ping spikes to a dangerous level, LagAlarm hits you with a full-screen red flash, a loud alarm sound, and a raid-warning style message in the center of your screen — so you always know when your connection is putting your character at risk.

Features:

  • 🔴 Full-screen red flash overlay when lag is detected
  • 🔔 Alarm sound alert
  • ⚠️ Raid-warning style text displayed center-screen
  • 📢 Chat message showing your exact ping and lag type
  • Detects both high home latency (your connection) and server-side lag (world vs. home gap)
  • Combat Only Mode — suppress alerts outside of combat to reduce noise
  • All settings save automatically between sessions

Settings (open with /lagalarm or /la):

  • Ping Alert Threshold — alert when home latency exceeds X ms
  • Server Lag Threshold — alert when world/home latency gap exceeds X ms
  • Alert Cooldown — minimum seconds between repeated alerts
  • Check Interval — how often your latency is sampled
  • Toggle screen flash, sound, and combat-only mode individually
  • Test Alert button to preview the flash and sound
  • Reset Defaults button
