Can we please get a more accurate connection check?
I'm so sick and tired of picking a server that has 0% PL and 50-80ms and then be greeted with latency and packet loss icon through out my whole game.

@Daze623 The lobby server is not what you get in game. I have no idea how it works but I know it isnt the lobby one.
@hayhorLobby server handles player data (account stuff, stats, matchmaking, etc.) while game servers process match simulation (positioning, interactions, outcome, etc.). Very different things which would affect the gaming experience very badly if done simultaneously on the same machine.
Also, the performance display doesn't reflect the network buffering, which might be dynamic to make up for the limitations of performance. The buffer may vary between 1-3 frames (maybe more), and that can mean 33-150ms of additional lag server side(considering the tick rate of 20-30hz) and 16.66 - 50ms of additional lag client side (considering a framerate of 60 fps). It's a pretty wild guess, but can explain the hugely different experience we sometimes get, although the basic ping is about the same.
