I often see people who think the latency # on the F5 display is their ping to the server. Could that perhaps include the ms they are behind (based on server UPS * Latency) in a display like "Latency: 10 (160 ms)"? That might be more clear to people.

Or even rename "Latency" to "Updates Behind" or some other term that will make it clear it is the # of updates you are behind, and not a ping time in ms.

Thanks.

yes, the one is ticks (1/60 seconds or less), the other real-time.

"Ticks Behind" maybe. Just anything so someone who sees "Latency: 100" won't say things like "my ping to the server is only 100".

If this won't make it into v14 I hope you'll consider it for v15.
