Show Ping in Lost Ark

Source-checked About 2 minutes

Answer

Open Settings > Gameplay > Controls and Display, find the UI section, and set Show Network Latency to Always Show. Your ping appears near the bottom-left of the screen. Ping is the round-trip delay to the game server; a lower, steady number usually feels more responsive.

Open Settings

Press Esc and select the Settings gear. Do this from a safe place so the menu does not interrupt combat.

Open Controls and Display

Choose Gameplay, then Controls and Display. Scroll to the UI section.

Find Show Network Latency

Set Show Network Latency to Always Show. Apply or save the setting before closing the menu.

Read the ping number

Look near the bottom-left of the game screen. The number is measured in milliseconds and represents the delay between your computer and the Lost Ark server.

Check it during the actual problem

Watch the number while moving or fighting. A low, steady value is generally better, but there is no single perfect number for every region and connection.

Separate latency from low FPS

If the number jumps when actions are delayed, check the server status, pause downloads, and try a wired connection. If animation is choppy while ping stays steady, investigate frame rate instead.

Check current server statusFollow the official latency checks

If it does not work

  • If the number does not appear, apply the setting, return to gameplay, and restart the game once.
  • If every player is delayed, check the official server-status page before changing the computer or router.
  • If only your connection spikes, pause downloads and streams, use Ethernet when possible, and compare the same server again.
