These icons indicate that your current Connection Quality could be impacting your online gameplay experience.
If the icons display in yellow, there may be some loss in the quality of your experience. If the icons are in red, there may be a more significant loss in the quality of your experience.
- High ping - You’ll see this icon when you’re currently experiencing a high ping value.
- Packet loss - You’ll see this icon when you’re experiencing potentially impactful packet loss.
- Jitter - You’ll see this icon when you’re experiencing jitter, a sudden and significant change to your ping within a short window of time.
Why you’re seeing these icons
When one or more of these icons displays during a match, you may be experiencing some impact to your online gameplay due to your Connection Quality.
If you see one or more of these icons displayed throughout the entire match, your connection is likely unstable and struggling with a solid gameplay experience.
