There’s still a way to do it but it’s convoluted compared to if they’d just add a damn resource monitor into the game itself.
If you still care about figuring out your ping: this comment on reddit from a year ago tells you how to find your games server IP, from there you can just fire up command prompt and hit with
ping -n 100 <IP/Adress>
This should return your ping and packet loss with the server.
Kinda crazy when they subvert expectations like that sometimes and actually prove themselves as a journalist.
You’d think a journalist for Teen Vogue or Cosmopolitan would be a hack and then all of a sudden they drop some in-depth, well written op-ed that makes you go “what? How?..”
Like I said elsewhere, I’ve actually got a couple copies of Rolling Stone from the opening weeks/months of the Iraq Invasion (their somewhere in my personal library) and the comparison to issues from before the war is staggering. Their journalists were actually really good and when they weren’t being told to write a bunch of gobbledygook about a has-been one hit wonder, they were really capable journalists.
