Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone this is RapidSausage, and i’ll be showing you how to find your latency/ping to the current map you’re in in GW2.

Keep in mind, this guide is only meant for windows users, and it requires absolutely no software downloads, as we will only be using window’s software.

Here’s how to find your ping in 6 easy steps:

Step 1: Open task manager by clicking Shift+Alt+Esc simultaneously.

Step 2: On task manager, click the “Performance” tab.

Step 3: At the bottom, click “Resource Monitor”, and a new window will open.

Step 4: On Resource monitor, click the “Network” tab.

Step 5: Under “Processes with Network activity” find “GW2.exe” and tick the checkbox next to it.

Step 6: after step 5, under “TCP connections”, you will see 3 rows with the image name “GW2.exe”, and each of them will show latency values, 2 of them will mostly not change, as they update infrequently, the third one however will be updating every second, and this one is your current latency to the current map you’re in in GW2.

Another tip:

If you have a lot of addresses listed (you may have had the trading post window open for example), you can type /ip into the chat box to get the IP address of the map/server you are currently connected to and use that to find the matching Remote Address in Resource Monitor.

I often use the method described by RapidSausage to get an idea of my latency whenever I feel as if I am experiencing lag.

i use this when i need the IP to use in ping plotter.
However, when i use task manager, it’s often easy to find the map’s entry, since it’s the only one updating every second, other ones usually update every 15 seconds or so.
