Guide: Easiest way to check ping on Windows.

[TrueJawa]

So there are a few ways to check ping and some involve downloading programs and what not but i will show you an easy way to check your ping

First off your going to open your file explorer eg. opening a folder of any kind and on the top left corner there should be an option that said Organise

Open that up and choose File and Search Options. ( on Windows 10 choose the View tab and on the far right clock options ) On this tab at the top click View, Scroll down a bit and find Hide Extensions for known file types. Make sure this is unchecked then apply and ok. You can always turn this off if need be later on.

Second right click your desktop goto new > Text Document. You want to rename this file something like Ping.bat, Keep in mind that .bat at the end is important

Third you want to right click the file and choose Edit. After the file is open you want to type this

 

Ping  64.25.35.100

pause

 

The IP will change depending on your server for me it's 64.25.35.100

 

IP 206.127.149.3 Soha EU

IP 64.25.37.238 Mushin NA

 

After that is done save the file and close it.

Your now done just open the file and a CMD will open up and tell you your ping.

If you have troubles opening the file for whatever reason just run it as Administrator and that should fix your problems.

This is generally a good check for your latency. Just keep in mind using ping is not 100% accurate; it specifically moves small packets to test latency, which does not reflect what could happen real-time within the game. (such as different packet sizes depending on what you're doing, network traffic, etc.)

 

Observing your TCP connections is the most accurate:

Open up task manager > Performance tab > Resource Monitor > Network Tab
Alt tab back into game, play for a minute or two then go back to Task manager > TCP connections > find client.exe > look under Latency
