Feedback- How to check Ping with ease! -Poll update-

- Start date
on a Windows box try "ping -t 51.89.234.64" and see if those numbers stabilize. -t just keeps it rolling.
I'm West Coast, NA, fiber to house, good ISP, and 137-138 ping every time I check.
Someone enlight me, I understand that the lower the better but what is the "Ping" and how influence the game playing? Also fps?
Thank you
Thank you
A "ping" is the amount of time it takes for you to send a signal to a remote computer and get a response back.
For online games that means it is a general measure of how long it takes the remote server and your computer to communicate.
This is the most common definition of lag if you have very high ping to remote computer. Essentially you might see other players floating or continuing to move in a direction because you are not getting a prompt response back from the computer or you might execute a command and the server doesn't receive it for a while so that you don't move out of the way of an attack for example.
FPS stands for frames per second which is instead a measure of quickly your local computer is able to display the games graphics and is based on your computer's power.
Bad ping (lag) but good fps would have the game graphics being smooth but you would see other players jumping around or your commands being delayed.
Good ping but bad fps would have the games graphics being choppy or slow but players and commands would be responsive.
There is still a lot you can do, you will just be at a disadvantage fighting EU and NA guys 1v1
