for the pass week and a half I've been getting some server lag when I play in a dungeon. I play on the ps3 and its getting really bad to where I can't play that particular content in the game. it doesn't matter what time of day I play the game early morning, mid-day, or late at night I still get lag. I've tried resetting my router turning off other devices that use the same network but I still get lag that makes the game unplayable.
if anyone is having the same problem post here.
I hope SE can fix this asap.
is anyone experiencing any server lag lately?

does your PS3 normally run smoothly with the game? I've been having the same issues around the same time (8:30pm EST-9:30pm EST and onwards) during raid instances most frequently on coil nights in SBCOB. But I play on PC with a wired connection. I'm going to post a separate forum I think but if you get any info let me know. this is crippling to our static.

Yeah my ps3 runs the game just fine. It's just when I go in an instance dungeon I get the lag

Same problem here. Playing on ps3 too and everytime I'm in a dungeon it lags. Even won't accept some of the skills i use sometimes when i activate them.

Same here, though I'm on PC, I've been 90kd on and off for the past week, or just lag where everything will stop for like a minute and then catch back up. It's impossible to play when this is going on.

Same thing here. Ever since patch 2.38 I get multiple 90k's in Frontline, a lot of lag in other dungeons and open world. Today I had my record, 8 dc's in a single FL match, wasn't able to even get past the outpost. I'm on wired PS3, while boyfriend is on wifi PC and he's just fine. It's getting very annoying now since most of my actions/spells don't even register and it's very frustrating to play like this. I've rebooted everything, and still the same.

Yeah I've been having similar issues where I will lag mid combo where it doesn't register that I hit it. Or if i'm casting a spell, It'll randomly say "Spell interrupted" For no reason. It really makes the game almost impossible to play. Really hope they patch it soon or figure out what is going on with it.

Yep, having issues like that since Thursday as well. The exact same stuff Wintersolace mentioned.

I'm having the same issue. Hotbar lag that makes mnk an unplayable class. And mnk is my main, so I'm rly screwed. Gl3 has been eluding me for the past few days and perfect balance only works half the time. It's rly annoying. I'm gonna have to run coil as smn next week because the lag is so bad. At least I can kinda get away with lagging as smn cuz of all the dots

Same problems, horrible lag and multiple 90k's in frontlines. All started with the god damn 2.38 patch. I am used on spamming frontlines now I can't do that anymore. It really needs to get top priority. The only content I was doing and that made me have fun now is basically forbidden land for me. I'm spamming ex primals for nexus but even there lag kills me and my DPS gets horseshit.
Pre 2.38 I rarely ever saw the DC sign unless someone in my family decided to upload stuff. -

I know I already posted on this but I've asked around in my FC and people are having the same issues as us, I mean I know this is a console but come on SE fix this crap already. This issue is already making it so people aren't even able to play jobs like monk and war that rely on combos unplayable. As it stands for myself I feel as if my game play as just stopped.

Im having the same problem. And you know whats fun? When you guys want to 1 month ban us for whatever reason, you do it pretty fast, now to work on this great pain for all users, you guys are as slow as a Tortugue. Really? We pay you guys every month and this is how you answer us?

The issue is one which only your ISP can resolve, take it up with them.
SE has no control over which route your isp chooses to have you use to reach their servers. -
09-22-2014, 10:26 PMBebekurenai
This is not ISP related, it's all PS3. Wether or not it's PSN or the PS3 itself not connecting correctly, I don't know, although PSN seems to be only needed when starting the log-in client, after that I got booted out of PSN and was still playing without dc (pre-patch). But it's definetly not ISP. And it's also not wifi related since the wifi issue on PS3 is already well known and just by direct wiring it resolves. My boyfriend plays on wifi PC (we live together), we rebooted everything and even re-customized the wired PS3 to the internet, and the problem persists.
If you look closely, all these reports are from PS3 users and just after 2.38.
So nope, not ISP. Anyhow if we could have an answer from SE and who actually knows what's going on, thank you. -
09-22-2014, 10:46 PMNargaHuntressThis is definitely NOT our ISP. I play on Ps3 and and i ABSOLUTELY NEVER have lag of any kind. Nor do I ever d/c do to 90k. I play frontlines regularly and I can certainly tell you this problem sure as hell STARTED RIGHT AFTER patch 2.38 as I never d/c to 90k while in frontlies, LET ALONE 3 TIMES IN THE SAME MATCH! I play casting classes and my main is Scholar and my casts have been interrupted multiple times by hotbar lag. Not inly that but my crafting is also effected by this. I play ever single day and I am absolutely certain this lag started right after this poorly implemented patch. And this is happening on Pc too as my static members are on Pc and live in Ohio and I Maryland so we bothe have different ISP's but having the same problems right after 2.38 patch on different systems. No not a coincidence.Quote:

Have to consider a few things that also happened around the release of 2.38 that can be impacting internet traffic--things like new game releases (Destiny, among others), football season opened up (increased streaming from sports packages and such), seasonal change-over in the retail markets (increased online retail traffic, special sales and whatnot). Oh yeah... and a lot of people resubbed, they had a couple of free-to-play weekends promoting the game, they've been showing it at conventions, etc.---basically, a lot of people have recently hopped into the game either again or as new players.
The point is internet traffic is on the cusp of another big surge, and it is happening on multiple fronts. All of this traffic can and often does concentrate into identifiable corridors that can impact the route we are taking to the servers in Canada (hello, New York, Chicago, LA, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, etc.). This could very well be in part due to this congestion. As I am typing this at lunch time, worldwide, internet traffic is at 36% above average (mostly centered on the UK): http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/dataviz1.html . Here is a visual for you.. a map of the TWC connectivity issues that will update periodically throughout the day:
http://cdn.serinus42.com/maps/20096/latest.jpg
Source: http://downdetector.com/status/time-warner-cable
The region peaking changes throughout the day... but it follows a pattern that can be easily seen if one just bothers to look. Right now it is showing the usual kerfuffle up around Ohio and the North East hot spots (note that most of the exchanges that get us into Canada are centralized in the North East--it's like almost a 3:1 ratio that go through NY/NJ/ME area over other areas). You can find similar maps and data for other services at the downdetector site:
http://downdetector.com/companies
As for those using multiple systems in the same location---quick question: Did you set up port forwarding? If so, try undoing it and letting your router's NAT manage the traffic. Port Forwarding is typically NOT needed for games in general (haven't had to do it for a single online game since I started in 1996--only ever used it for remote desktop)--that is more a test to bypass security that may be interfering with data flow, it should not be the solution because by assigning port traffic to be pushed to just one device (like the PS3), you may be loosing data intended for the other system (like the PC). This can periodically send your connection into a wait state for disconnect. If this resolved an issue for you at one time, that is a sign that your security is causing a problem that needs to be corrected (like a firewall and/or other routing setings). You may want to look into the security options for your router--some of them clamp down a bit too much and can cause issues. Your ISP or their partners could also be choking things down because of the increased flow of data for multiple systems that they are flagging as suspicious or otherwise less important traffic (in which case, this would in fact be something that your ISP would need to address).
So... don't just patently discount the idea that your stability issues may be related to problems in route. You really should flush it out--it may not be all of your problems, but there is a very strong chance it could be partially at fault. -

Thank you for the information and I do believe it will explain most of the issue. And yes, many things are indeed overcharging at this moment or since last tuesday. But I'm trying to find logic behind this:
Same house, same time, same router, boyfriend upstairs on PC and wifi, IP adress (fictional except last digit) 183.254.0.1
my laptop wifi, ID apdress (again fictional except last digit) 183.254.0.2
PS3 wired, IP adress (blabla) 183.254.0.3.
I just don't know if Sky (our ISP) is selecting the two first IP's for one route (which is not stressed as they don't lag at all) and the last one belonging to PS3 to a diferent route when they all come from the same customer/router (diferent IP's but all consecutive), or if my case is PS3/patch specific. -
09-23-2014, 02:58 AMSqua11_LeonhartRequest the issue be escalated to tier 3 support, your ISP can do everything to resolve this, granted you speak to the correct person.Quote:

I play on PS3 and I noticed that I've been disconnecting a lot since patch 2.38. I don't know what is going on, but I am hardwired and have had absolutely no lag/dc issues since hardwiring my system...now, I noticed that my attacks aren't always registering after clicking them and I occasionally have the dc symbol next to my character.

I play on PC and am seeing some really bad server lag right now. My friend is having the same problem. I see that SE posted this http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...0258e4a9a1af54
If you ask me, they did not fix the problem. -
09-25-2014, 11:54 AMdragooon27
that was a separate incident not the current lagging problem

I've been having the same issue after 8pm EST every night since the emergency maintenance on my PC, where of course it's only FFXIV and nothing else with the problem. Would not be surprised if it's the return of the routing issues. Gonna have a fun phone adventure with Verizon tomorrow yay...
