Had a 5060ti and 2 days ago got a 5070ti (my pc can handle it just fine). All other games: online and offline games I have no issues. With ffxiv (mostly in dungeons) i will, occasionally, get my fps from like 150+ to go back down to 10-20 fps for about 20 seconds and then it goes back to normal. It keeps happening. Sometimes it happens in cities. The game ran perfectly fine but this is a new issue for me. Looked online and said try to have vsync off which i did but still happens. Other games do not do this, online or offline: WoW, Tekken 8, Granblue Fantasy Vs Rising, Stellar Blade, GW2, etc...

So yeah I dunno why its only ffxiv and how to fix it. Drivers/BIOS all updated. PC is cool, internet still great, etc etc...just ffxiv. ]]> Technical Support iamcreo https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529668-New-5070ti.-Game-drops-FPS-big-time-%28only-game-that-does-this%29. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529565-Lag-Spikes?goto=newpost Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:52:21 GMT Hi !

I'm playing on the NA Data centers and frequently experience lag spikes that cause my ping to jump from the usual 100ms to 300ms.

I did a WinMTR test and here were the results:

I've been having issues with lag spikes/packet loss for two weeks in a row now, and it's always at the same time: around 7:00pm-ish BRT. I can't even play the game at this point, since I can only play at night during the week.

I'm a brazilian player and some of my friends are also experiencing the same issue. Only one of them have the same ISP that I do, the others do not, so it's not an ISP issue.

Other online games do not present the same problem too. While FFXIV connection is choking in itself, I can play DotA, WoW or Palia no problems whatsoever.

Do we really need to wait for the World Cup to end to play the game again? ]]> Technical Support Hyalin https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529529-Constant-lag-spikes-during-nightime https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529445-Positive-Feedback?goto=newpost Fri, 26 Jun 2026 07:28:13 GMT Positive Feedback for GM Chiewaraelonz Message: Hi all, I wanted to take a moment to share some positive feedback about GM Chiewaraelonz, who...

Hi all,
I wanted to take a moment to share some positive feedback about GM Chiewaraelonz, who recently helped me with an issue I had in-game.
Throughout our conversation, they were professional, patient, and clear in explaining everything I needed to know. They took the time to confirm important details with me and made sure my concern was fully addressed before wrapping up. The whole interaction was quick, courteous, and left me feeling well taken care of.
Thanks again to GM Chiewaraelonz for the great service — much appreciated! ]]> Technical Support Paladinian1 https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529445-Positive-Feedback https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529290-Lagging-Packet-Loss-Issues?goto=newpost Wed, 17 Jun 2026 01:34:22 GMT I'm having some strange lag issues, which I assume are packet loss. They happen around the same time, between 7 PM and midnight Brazil time. I'm connected to a North America server and this happens with all my characters. I logged in earlier in the day and played just fine, but two days in a row, around the same time, the issues happened.

I'll perform an action like summon a mount and it takes 4 seconds for it to register. Fighting enemies is the same, the combo prompt won't appear for 4 seconds. Strangely, at one point the other players in the city wouldn't move until I began moving, and when they did move, they shot all around the place, zooming and skating about. I've asked friends and they have no issues. This has never happened before.

I'm playing on PC (Windows 10), connected by ethernet cable, checked my speed, all's well. I'll contact my ISP and see if they know of anything. ]]> Technical Support CappuccinoGuil https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529290-Lagging-Packet-Loss-Issues https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529289-FFXIV-crashing-on-loading?goto=newpost Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:33:42 GMT Hello,

I've been facing constant errors and crashes while trying to load into FFXIV, specifically in Limsa Lominsa.

I usually kept my character in my FC home in The Empyreum, so I don't know how or when this crashing could've started. I suspect it started after Patch 7.5. I tried teleporting to the Azim Steppes and the crashing started. Every time I reset the game and tried to load in, it crashes. I try to change my character's home world to default to Limsa Lominsa, and it still crashes.

I've tried logging into different home worlds, lowering graphics, playing on Windowed Mode or Fullscreen, etc. It's only on my main character who's stuck in Limsa Lominsa. Logging onto another character, like one that's in the Mist, loads in fine and I'm able to move around and such.

My error message reads as follows:
An unexpected error has occurred. Exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV.

This is not from my end as other players have reported the same issue:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...kes_at_random/

It's strictly begun happening after the latest maintenance and continues to happen at random intervals rather raiding, in dungeons or just roaming. The lag spike remains even after reseting game client, internet, everything. It settles after a random amount of time passes without any real rhythem. ]]> Technical Support SunBroski https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/529257-Since-last-Maintenance-lag-spikes-have-been-increasing
