Ping Details
This window opens when you select an arena on the Select Arena screen and click Ping Details. It shows how good your connection to that arena's host is.
The line at the top shows the host name, its IP address and the arena name.
The game sends one test packet (a ping) to the host each second. The graph shows the time each ping took to go from you to the host and back, from 0 ms at the bottom to 1000 ms (one second) at the top. Lost pings are drawn at the top of the graph. A low, flat line means a good connection.
- Sent: - The number of pings sent to the host.
- Received: - The number of pings that came back.
- Lost: - The number of pings that did not come back. Lost pings mean packet loss, which can cause warping and other problems in the game.
