How to read WTFast client stats

1. UNDERSTANDING THE CLIENT STATS

2. STATS
When you are viewing the
statistics screen in the
application you will start to see
active connection stats after you
have been connected to your
game for 2 minutes.

3. STATS
PING GRAPH
SERVERS STATS
PERFORMANCE STATS
The statistics shown in the
WTFast client are separated
into 3 sections:

4. STATS
PING GRAPH
- The Ping Graph will show you a historical graph of the
moment by moment ping you are getting with WTFast and what
you we get without WTFast
- WTFast is shown in Yellow
- Your normal internet is shown in Red
- WTFast Advanced is shown in Blue
- The graph is updated in real time while you are connected to
your game
- Occasionally you will only see the yellow WTFast graph shown
in the ping graph, in this case it is possible that your current
connection configuration may not be optimal or there is a
problem collecting the data
- Under the ping graph is another real-time graph showing the
number of lost packets during your connection time.

5. STATS
SERVERS STATS
- Overall Improvement Meter: This meter displays your overall
game connection improvement when using WTFast versus a
standard Internet connection. This improvement is calculated
by averaging and comparing all key connection metrics.
- Next to the improvement meter is another reporting screen
which shows you your current active connections, the
estimated server location of the WTFast server that you are
connected to, and the estimated server location of the game
server that you are connecting to. It also shows the active
server that you selected to connect to before launching your
game. This should correspond to the estimated WTFast server
location.
- The last section will show the amount of time since you
launched your game with WTFast. It also shows your current in
game ping with WTFast at that exact moment in time. It also
has a meter for how much data has been sent and received
through the WTFast servers for your game session.

PERFORMANCE STATS
Under performance stats, there are 3 different columns;
The WTFast column shows you your current connection
performance while using WTFast
The Internet column shows you the connection performance you
would be getting if you where not using WTFast.
The Connection Stat Improvement % column shows you the
connection performance improvement you are achieving by using
WTFast instead of the basic Internet connection
WTFast
Your
Internet
- Ping Average: average ping during your entire game connection
- Ping Spikes: number of times that your game connection has seen large latency spikes. This can have a
dramatic impact on the smoothness of gameplay
- Ping Flux Average: the average increase in ping related to your Ping Spikes. A ping flux average that is much
higher than the overall ping average indicates a less stable connection.
- 10 Second Ping: the average in game ping for the last 10 seconds

FINAL COMMENTS
- As an example, if you are getting an average ping of 100ms with your regular internet connection and you
use WTFast and you get an average ping of 90ms with WTFast you will see 90ms in the WTFast column and
100ms in the Internet column.
- This will then cause the Connection Stat Improvement % column to update to show that you are getting a
10% improvement for your ping average with WTFast over your regular internet connection.
- Sometimes you may see an empty column in the stats reporting. Why, you ask? In this case it is possible
that your current connection configuration may not be optimal or there is a problem collecting the data.
- The stats are designed to allow you to monitor and measure the improvement for most important
elements of a game connection that can cause choppy game play, slow game response, missed clicks,
disconnects and more. There are times you may not even be able to feel the difference but it can have an
impact on your game play because milliseconds can be the difference between a winning and losing move.
