Option to show latency/ping of players while in lobby?

[ketiux]

While sometimes you can host a lobby with good quality racing (everyone has good connection) sometimes it's the opposite (players are stuck loading and everyone is waiting). It would help quite a bit if the latency can be seen right next to the players name.

It would also be nice if we could set a minimum requirement for latency, so that those whose connection falls below the set threshold cannot enter the room.

Yeah, that would help too! Many times I hosted a fixed lobby so people with low bandwidth can join...

Maybe it would be a good idea to re-word the title & your OP, as there is actually no question in it as required.

This would be amazing to have even for the private lobbies - latency and NAT type.

There is always one culprit in lobby that crashes the game for all players. Being able to easily find out who has issues with connection - especially NAT type - would solve myriad of problems.

Full support 👍

Changed the title a bit. Either implementing latency (showing bars) or ping (showing number). Also, as mentioned, a filter-like option to limit low bandwidth would really help.

I meant having a minimum setting to keep people with low bandwidth out, so that they don't slow the whole room up & mess things up for everyone else.

I know what you mean. I was just saying that sometimes I had to do a "fixed" lobby to help out people with low bandwidth. But turning on the option to limit player with not so good latency (that doesn't mean they have a bad connection, it means they are very far away!) will make things so much easier for online hosts!
