How can I check my connection using Wireshark?

Wireshark is a popular network protocol analyzer. You can use it to check your internet connection in case of problems with authorization, or if you get randomly kicked out of battle, or if you experience other technical issues.

To check your connection, follow the instructions below:

  1. Download Wireshark from the official website and install it.

  4. Launch the game client. If you have encountered a problem with authorization, or the game has disconnected from the servers, or if you have been randomly kicked out of battle, then stop the capture. To do that, click on the red button in the top-left corner of the Wireshark window.

  6. After clicking the "Save" button, select where you want the data file to be saved and give it a name.
