Where in god's name do I see my ping value?

Postby RocketRooster » 13 Apr 2017, 11:35

Hi guys,

I can see my CPU/Ping rating bar in the lobby, the score is 134, but I assume this is CPU only. I have no idea what my ping is. HALP!

Thanks!

I got sorted! I've learned that only the host can see pings, faf user Forceh hosted a game on my behalf.

You can't see your ping to somebody in the lobby unless it is 500 or more.
Also the ping bar is broken(it never becomes visible) in current FAF version so don't be surprised it doesn't show up.

I also advise you to try fafdevelop, because there the ping bar is seperated from cpu bar.
And it should be fixed there for sure.

PS: As far as i know, host can't see more ping related things. Not sure where that idea comes from...

Thanks KB. It turns out my ping is hovering around 250... at least that is what it was in the game hosted to test it. I'm ready to rock!

Remember that the ping is to individuals, not a server.
