Host check ping value! Why do I have to reopen the option every time I start the game?

    They previously launched cross regional matching functionality.
    Now they finally allow users using XSS/X hosts to view ping values.
    I can't believe it took so many years for a game to add the feature of checking PING values to the console.

    However, even if they added this feature. They still seem to not want players using the console to check the ping value.
    Why? Because every time I start the game, I need to reactivate the option to view PING values in the settings.
    Because they default to viewing ping values as off.
    I need to go to bed today. Closed the game and console,
    When we continue playing tomorrow. I need to modify the options again in the settings to turn them on.

    I don't understand why host users are always discriminated against. Let's not discuss PS5 for now. XBOX is a Microsoft console brand. And RARE is the first studio under Microsoft

    You told me this is a bug.
    Release Notes 3.5.1 on September 18, 2025
    https://www.seaofthieves.com/release-notes/3.5.1

    Performance Counters
    Players on console now have the ability to display their ping in the top corner of the screen. This can be enabled from within the Video Settings.
    Players on PC can now choose to display ping only, without displaying their FPS at the same time.

    Let's see how long it will take for them to fix this issue. Three months? Six months?

    While they're at it, it would be nice if Rare gave players an option to increase the font size. Mine appears so small that it's almost unreadable. It is TINY.

    Trust me, I yelled from the rooftops about this in testing and feedback before it came in, nothing.
