On PC, when Ctrl–Shift–R is pressed, PNG, RTT and IND appear. I suppose PNG stands for ping. What do RTT and IND mean, and how do they translate to gameplay experiences?
Are the numbers related like for example PNG = RTT + IND?
By that I mean to ask, what happens when:
- PNG > RTT > IND
- PNG > IND > RTT
- RTT > IND > PNG
- Etc. (Provided they obey the math relationship between them)
Is there a meaningful reflection of these numbers in terms of gameplay experiences?
I.e. which combination(s) causes gameplay experiences such as:
- Landing a hit on the opponent in my perspective, when the opponent is already behind cover in his.
- The opponent landing a hit on me in his perspective, when I'm already behind cover in mine.
- Etc.
Best Answer
PNG = Ping = how long it takes you to contact the server
IND = indication = how long it takes the server to tell you stuff
RTT = round trip time = both of the above together
