Fall Guys Ping Estimate

Reads the IP address of the Fall Guys Server from the player logs. Then directly pings the Fall Guys Server every 5 seconds and presents the stats in an overlay

This is different from other Fall Guys stats collectors which read the ping from the logs. The problem with that approach is the ping is not updated very often in the logs, and the value appears to be more than just an RTT ping, for example it could include processing time on the server, or it could be rounded up to specific numbers. In my experince the ping number in the player logs can not be trusted.

Download and Run Executable

If you want a one click executable file, no need to worry about the source code or anything, download and run here (first time you download Windows Defender will need ~10 seconds to scan the file and you may get a warning where you need to click "More info" -> "Run Anyway"): https://github.com/notatallshaw/fall_guys_ping_estimate/releases/download/latest/run_fgpe.exe

Shutdown

Press the X at the leftmost section of the overlay

Collect Stats

You can find statistics of all your Fall Guys sessions by opening File Explorer and pasting in the address bar: %APPDATA%\fgpe

In here you will find a file named stats.csv which you can open with Excel or import in to Google Sheets or many other tools / programming languages

Install the GeoIP Database

There is now an option to use an IP database to lookup the server location dynamically. This database must be installed manually after registering for a free account.

1. Go to https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data
2. Click "Signup for GeoLite2" (It is a free account)
3. Login to your account
4. Click on "Download Databases" or "Download Files"
5. In the "GeoLite2 City" section with format: GeoIP2 Binary (.mmdb), click "Download GZIP"
6. Decompress the downloaded file. You might need a tool like 7-zip to decompress it
7. Decompress the .tar file
8. You should have a folder with a GeoLite2-City.mmdb file in it.
9. Copy GeoLite2-City.mmdb into %APPDATA%\fgpe\ which should be like C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\fgpe
10. Restart Fall Guys Ping Estimate

Report Unknown Region / Location

Because the region and location is built manually there will likely be many ip addresses where the region and location are not known. When this happens you will see the IP address displayed instead of the region and locations.

To report this take the following steps:

1. Open a New Issue: https://github.com/notatallshaw/fall_guys_ping_estimate/issues/new
2. Put in what details you can, especiailly if you know your Fall Guys Region
3. Open File Explorer and paste in the address bar %APPDATA%\fgpe and press enter
4. Drag the file "unknown_ip_addresses.csv" in to the new issues box
5. Press "Submit new issue"
