Party Members Disappeared in Haukke Manor

Last night while doing a run of Haukke Manor using the duty finder, about 5 minutes into the dungeon my party members stopped moving. Even though they were continuing to progress through the dungeon they remained in the same place on my screen. As a result, I could no longer see any of my party members as we proceeded further into the Manor.

I could still hear/see actions and weapon skills performed on the monsters, but the party members were not visible. This did not apply to NPC's like Carbuncle and Eos. They were visible throughout the entire dungeon. When we warped back to the start of the manor the party members appeared on my screen again. They did not move from that spot however and the problem continued all the way through the final boss at the end.

My character was an Arcanist and my server is Ramuh.

Interesting, never happened to me before.

It's just lagging. No need to worry just restart the client. And it'll be fixed.

It was fixed as soon as the dungeon ended. I did not need to restart the client and my next run through the manor was fine. I can't imagine lag causing that problem for the entire run, but perhaps it's possible. Nonetheless, I thought it worry mentioning.

I just had this problem myself in Tam-tara Deepcroft. Have not seen this issue during any beta tests...I'm guessing it's related to the heavy server load...

The issue temporarily fixed itself when I let myself die (after discussing it first with my party members, of course) and used the shortcut to meet up with them. The rest of the dungeon ran fine until the boss cutscene where afterwards, the tank was out of my sight again. Thankfully I can still heal them in this situation using Medica, but it did draw the enmity onto myself spamming that. I was able to tank sufficiently just curing off all the water spam that hit me, but I'm wondering if this is a legitimate bug or if it is related to the server load...

I wanted to help out a friend in Sastasha today and had the same problem. I guess it's not really a problem for any class but a healer (that's me alright!) since I can't target the player anymore. Medica does seem to work, though. In this case it was the tank that I couldn't target so... he died. Him dying solved the problem briefly and then a DPS got stuck behind while other partymembers told me he was standing right next to me.

My mom has this happen to her a lot in the starter dungeons. It's only my bfs character that stops moving. She is on a PS3. Are all you guys experiencing this on PS3 too?

I'm on PS3 as well, yes. I didn't experience these problems during closed beta in phase 3 at all...if the problem persists after the addition of new servers settles we're going to have to start escalating the issue higher.

I made a bug thread (with mandatory template - so thay can't just discard it) about this : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ngeon-instance

Glad to see that Im not the only one, however Im worried if that issue get rampant. This has never happened to me before this week end or in P3/P4.
