[ NETWORK QUALITY READOUT CHANGES ]

Pre-Armory Update measured "bad" packets based on:

• Dropped packets
• Out-of-order packets not corrected by network stack

Issues with old measurement:

• Counted non-impactful events as "bad"
• Missed actual gameplay-impacting jitter issues

Armory Update (October 2, 2024) changes:

• Expanded "bad" packet criteria to include:
  • Packet loss
  • Uncorrectable out-of-order packets
  • Packets with above-threshold jitter

Latest Update Improvements:

• Network quality indicator now only shows events affecting gameplay
• Takes into account Source 2 Engine's automatic jitter buffering
• Provides more accurate representation of connection issues

The new system focuses solely on network events that directly impact gameplay performance, offering players a more reliable indicator of actual connection problems.
