Does anyone else experience awful lag during hunt trains?

This post isn't a complaint however, I am unable to participate in hunt trains since the cross world stuff was announced. I was wondering if anyone experienced awful lag and or even sometimes lag so bad frame by frame then the game crashes? My PC is not the issue or my ISP before anyone asks. Sometimes, I wish hunts were how they were before the cross world stuff. Sucks I miss out on so many nuts...

Before you dismiss the issue being your PC, you should at least post the PC's specs and what graphic/game settings you are using.

ShB A-Rank CW trains can easily exceed a powerful computer if the hardware, drivers, or game setting are beyond what having 150+ players in one spot can be rendered/handled by the PC.
If you have trouble keeping the A-Rank mark targeted, as in it keeps fading from view, then your system is attempting to display more things that it actually can, and the A-Rank keeps getting pushed further down the in the priority list.
To counter, you need to create a situation of less things being displayed, so the A-Rank mark stays visible.

A few things can help with A-Rank Hunt Trains:
Dismiss your Chocobo and/or Minion, request others do the same.
Fight as close to the mark as possible, use a job that can generate a lot of enmity, and maintain it even if you loose target (Tank stance, Healer AOE heals, DoT skills, No-Target AOE skill, and such)
Reduce the spell/skill effects setting to turn off displaying it from others or others outside your party.
Disable Player Name Plates and lower to minimum Character and Object Quantity.

I've done all that. It's really not my PC. I have the settings low too.

Can you post your PC specs?

Good afternoon and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

We apologize for the delay in our response to your concern. When experiencing lag, are you connected to the internet through WiFi or are you using an ethernet cable? Additionally what have you tried to alleviate the issue?
