I recently have gotten back into the game and have been experiencing some serious lag when I play. I experience things like rubberbanding,... Hello!

I recently have gotten back into the game and have been experiencing some serious lag when I play. I experience things like rubberbanding, character freeze, and delayed npc menus. The lag will last for until it crashes saying "Connection with the server was lost 90006".
I can't really find the exact time the lag begins happening, it really is intermittent. I have had session where I play 3hrs and then the lag hits on the 4th hour. I have logged in and then the lag starts. It really doesn't have any consistency.

My partner doesn't experience the same lag while they play and we are on the same network. I'm guessing something is going on with my clients connection?
What's interesting is that, even though I see lag on my side, my inputs are STILL being sent. I did a dungeon with my partner and she could still see me moving around on her screen even though everyone was idling on my screen.

The lag has been so bad at times that my UI wouldn't even load in when I join a dungeon. I would run the whole dungeon without a UI.

My ISP is Google Fiber on 1Gig.

My protection software is Bitdefender.

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5080 (3 monitor setup. Each monitor is 144hz at 4k)


What I have tried so far:
-Release and renew IP
-Switch the game from "Borderless window" to "Full Screen"
-Reinstall
-Reset router
-Contact ISP (They see no issue in my connections)
-Reinstalled on my C: drive (it's an NVME)


Any help would be appreciated! I used to play this game without lag at all, so this is VERY unusual for it to be acting like this. ]]> Support Center Resolved Mcmoblin https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/530519-Extreme-Lag
