Measuring your ping to game servers

The in-game server browser usually shows ping for each region. You can also measure outside the game.

Steps

1. Open the game's server browser and note the ping for each region.
2. From a terminal, use ping against a known IP or game-server hostname for 30 seconds.
3. Run a speed test that also reports latency and jitter.
4. Compare wired vs. Wi-Fi to see how much your wireless setup is costing you.

Tip: A high ping plus high jitter is worse than a steady high ping — the game has to predict more.
