Ping missing from the lobby.

Not sure what happened to the post, but after 6.2 latency indicators are now missing from the starting lobbies for both survivor and killer. As a killer I can't make sure I'm not being put on a random server in the middle of no where or figure out what my latency is. They're incredibly helpful when you're in a lobby. When you're in a game it's too late and the bars aren't that useful for diagnosing problems compared to a number.

    Not sure how it is on killer side but you can see all survivors ping in a match if you are survivor by going into the menu that give you the option to leave the match. It also shows all offerings. Maybe try that to see if you can see your own ping atleast.

    As Sab said, you can't see your ping in the lobby or in game as killer. Both sides used to have a ping indicator right of the chat box you could hover over to look at actual latency. That's missing now. The only indicator you have as killer now is in game above the survivor list and that's only if it gets really bad. That's also only after the lobby launches and you can't leave anymore.

    FWIW, I think I had a lag spike in one lobby where I briefly got red ping, and the red indicator showed up for a few seconds. It might only be hidden if you don't have red ping. But I would still like to be able to see it.

    These are two different things. The ping indicator was found in the pre-game lobby, right of chat. It was a vertical bar that would show you a visual indicator as well as exact latency while hovering over it. That is now missing and the only ping indicator you can see now as killer is the red and yellow bars in game, which is after the lobby launches.
