Once I finish the pre-Momocon cleaning (Don't shoot me. I don't want to come home to a dirty house after the con), I'll try this on my ps4 for testing but..has anyone tried changing the DNS server to Google's or something like that in settings? See if that helps at all so maybe you don't have to get a vpn? If that works, maybe me and my brother can play together until this fixes itself.

(Don't laugh about this either; but the reason my brother went for FFXIV was I installed the ps4 version on his ps5; he had to buy his own code though. He just saw that and got curious, and the rest is history.and a lot of crafting on my part since I have been spoiling him rotten)

I tried changing DNS settings last week and it didn't help. I made sure to try cloudflare's DNS also.

I'm giving Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 warp thingamajig a try right now. I'm going to run a few roulettes and see how it goes. I'll report back after I've given it enough time to form an opinion.

Cloudflare's WARP isn't a DNS thing. The confusion comes from their website, http://1.1.1.1, shares the same address as their DNS provider that they _also_ offer. It also doesn't help that WARP _also_ configures this DNS provider for you.

But no, Cloudflare's WARP actually tunnels traffic through their endpoints. Changing DNS only isn't enough as it'll still try to make the same hops.

Silicon Valley has been working pretty well for me today

Rats, thanks Binary and n_n. Hopefully there IS a easy solution for consoles then that doesn't cost money. And also is not from some questionable place.

My hope is they'll finally stop this after Momocon but we'll see.

i’ve seen if you have a laptop/pc you can set up a bridge from your router to your laptop/pc and use an ethernet from laptop/pc to console and set the console to LAN connection and use a VPN on your laptop/pcs connection and have that VPN on your console

that said i have not been able to get it to work and i don’t know if it’s an error on my end doing it wrong or if it’s ATT not allowing it

Though I haven't tried it on PS5 or PS4, I'd imagine it's a case of the latter, and that AT&T's gateways probably don't allow such a thing.

It's probably for security reasons, but that's speculation on my part. As for today, my VPN connection held steady through the entire 6.4 MSQ, both the dungeon and trial were cleared without a hitch on my end.

I'm out to lunch right now, but I'll be back later to give the Anabaseios normal raids a go. Keep the reports coming.

This isn't even considered an "issue" in the 6.4 issues list... oh really...?

If I didn't accidentally pay for VPN service again I would've cancelled my subscription already until this cleared up.

Can't believe I'm able to get under 5ms for WoW but have to fight for 50ms here. Can we enter 2023 already?

Patch downloaded and loading into the game. I've been not wanting to use a vpn or anything out of spite (because a game I pay a monthly sub to should work, yaknow?) but if patch stuff goes too poorly for me I may have to give in. : pepehands :

Stupid lag log day 9. I was able to download patch about 3pm CST with no issues. Playing game is ridiculous with packet loss. I shall continue to report my trace logs twice a day and bug the heck out of customer non support.

Been trying the proton vpn, so far it has worked and been able to do most group things well. Alliance raids and pvp been little laggy. I have cloudflare downloaded and ready to try if need be. In case others thinking about trying.

Shall keep posting here to help keep thread at top till they get this mess fixed.
