How can I view the ping in The Division 2? How to change server if the game is lagging? Anyone who plays the new online shooter adventure from Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft may ask themselves, can you somehow activate a ping display via a start parameter or in the settings in order to be able to find out the latency to the server?
Show ping in The Division 2: Here’s how
Similar to the FPS display, The Division 2 does not offer a direct ping display, which can easily be activated in the game settings. However, there is a way to find out the ping to the server and this can even be done using the on-board Windows tools. This variant may already be known to some players, as it was used more often in The Division 1. We have described exactly how you can display the ping for The Division 2 server in the following short instructions.
- Start The Division 2 and load the game.
- Now switch to the desktop using the ALT+Tab key and open the task manager via the taskbar.
- Under the “Performance” tab you now have to open the “Resource Monitor” at the bottom.
- In the “Resource Monitor” go to the “Network” tab and open the “TCP Connections” at the bottom.
- Here you should now see several entries for “TheDivision2.exe”. The last column shows the latency in ms (i.e. your ping). By the way, the actual latency of the game connection is the entry, which is updated approximately every second.
By the way, it often happened to us that we ended up on a server with a high latency or a high ping. It usually helped to log out or join a friend’s session, as this apparently changes the server. Does The Division 2 now have a ping display? If something has changed on the topic as a result of an update, please leave us a brief note in the comments.
