Problems with connection (R0) lag

Not lagging that bad today

I was lucky to avoid all problems from open beta untill today. Today afternoon (30/8 around 13:00 CMT+1) I started to experience huge lag spikes that delay everything for 5-10sec and it's game wide, in all areas and instances. Couple of hours later i started to experience 90k error and for the rest of the day, and night, game is just unplayable.

Server: Cerberus.
Location: Sweden.

most of the lag is NOT a routing issue or latency issue
have a look at my post here i explain it all http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...serious-issues

is just we are bound to a machine, this machine is crowded as hell and can't handle the load.
For example we can play both on the same server but i will be assigned to a crappy overcrowded server, and you will be assigned to a new fresh not crowded one. So not everyone in your server feels the lag.
You can check the server IP by executing windows ->execute -> type cmd.exe -> type netstat /ab
type that while playing and check for ffxiv.exe and look at the IP adress there aresome ip (server machines) that are more crowded than others.

Honestly, I used the default setting for the Windows client. I didn't change anything at all. Still going strong. Sorry man :(

I got this issue today and fixed it with VPN. (Used Spotflux which is free.)
The fact that VPN makes the problem go away is practically proof that this is an ISP throttling issue and not a server issue.
That and the fact that the server works perfectly fine for everyone else of course...

didnt seem to have any major issues today.... yet

Error 90000 coming out of the Ifrit fight, ive about had it with this game. First I can't play with my friends because of 1017 now 90000 has locked my JP character up..

Anima, Zephren Dracht, sick of this crap.

well something changed. no lag at all today

Still Lag for me. Am going to try a VPN i'm that desperate :(

laggy as fk since that patch.. hope the server increase and load fixes it
