Game ServerPING
In Path of Exile, ping is a critical factor for gameplay, as it directly affects your character's responsiveness in the game. To check your ping in Path of Exile, you can press the F1 key while in-game, which opens a performance overlay showing FPS, latency, and other useful metrics. Lower ping values, ideally under 50ms, indicate a more responsive connection, leading to smoother gameplay. Higher ping can cause delays or "lag," making it harder to react to enemies or execute precise movements. For a more detailed ping test, you can use online tools like PingPlotter or your system’s Command Prompt to test the connection to the game servers. Consistent high ping or packet loss may indicate network issues that could be resolved by switching to a closer server, optimizing your network settings, using a wired connection, or contacting your ISP for further assistance.
