90K Errors

Posting the usual 90K errors again. Happens when I'm Q'd for DF or in Mist.

I only get 90K in Frontlines, and I'm not sure why. Unless those DDoS attacks are still in full force, I'm not what the cause is. It's been happening since 2.4 and I've been avoiding FL, thinking it would go away with time, but I just came out of a match in which I 90K'd 7 times.

All other instances are fine, it's just FL for some reason.

Likewise- PS4 user here, but from talking to other users in FL it happens across platforms, and it's hard to go a single Frontlines match without one person or another getting 90k'd out. It is intensely frustrating and can mean the difference between success and failure for a party. We've noticed it seems travel related. If the team could confirm they are investigating would be appreciated. Thanks!

^I'm on PC, but still the same issue :(

I keep 90k myself also. I think its the attacks again and what not. Because it been doing it to me all day.

I get 90k in FL every 5 minutes really frusturating cause this never happened before 2.4 nor did the lag and dc's what have they changed to cause this?

I think the FL 90k disconnects are completely unrelated to the DDoS attacks and hope they're being investigated as such. While the DDoS attacks came and went in a few waves/spikes, these have been a constant for players who not normally encounter these issues, since 2.4 at least. I think it's only because there aren't more players participating in this content that there hasn't been as much attention called to the matter... if this were in one of the new dungeons for example there would have been an uproar and it would be resolved. However, such a QoL issue discourages players from continuing to play, increases queues for potential new players trying out the content, and impedes its overall growth by limiting it to those who are willing to live with the issue vs simply do other content.

So I tried FL today and did about 10 matches, I kept getting 90K to the point where I'm forced to warn my party that I WILL 90K and risk getting kicked instantly.

Again, all other instanced content is ok except FL where it can (and has) happened 3 or 4 times in a minute, always en route to another flag. I know I can't expect a response from some kind of SE staff on these forums but I'm basically down to just wishing really hard.

Im facing the same kind of problems, i just recently decided to do FL's i did pvp before but it wasnt until FL that it was more enjoyable, i really want to like it, specially with a HUGE rank requirement for the sweet looking armors, but getting 90k'ed twice every minute is just making people kick me inmediatly, my progression wont go as smoothly (or wont go at all) as i would like it

So I have a question for those of you who only 90K in FL: When you 90k, are you mounted and travelling? The key thing here is if you are mounted.
I got really discouraged with finding any kind of solution to the problem on the FF forums so I checked reddit and found a thread by someone experiencing the same issue.

The first post mentioned that it only occurred to him while mounted and so I got REALLY desperate and tried a couple (literally just 2, it's late lol) matches where I ran throughout the map on foot while travelling between flags.
In the first match, I tried first travelling on foot from the spawn point (where I 90K 90% of the time without fail) and on foot, I was fine. Then in the same match I tried mounting and travelling and 5 seconds later, I d/c'd lol.

So, I'm not exactly convinced it's an issue with mounts (sample size of 2 lol) but the next match, I ONLY travelled on foot and got no d/cs at all, literally running from flag to flag and back across the whole map to all OPs, including helio. Travelled through the spawn point several times too, again without issue, on foot. I plan on testing more tomorrow but if is indeed a mount issue that affects others besides me, maybe we can actually report it as a bug and get the issue looked into?

/wishfulthinking

Addendum: I think most would say it's probably a routing problem that sorted itself out at this time of night, but I experience these 90Ks at all hours of the day on any day, so I'm not entirely convinced yet.

Yes i think you're right because how I noticed it initially was I always rejoined BACK on my mount, meaning I had to be on it in the first place when I got disconnected. It really stands out in my mind because dismount and resummon are the first things I always have to do after a D/C, I'm certain of it

For the one guy encountering kicks- myteam doesn't kick people for getting 90k'd, I'd never replace someone who's actually trying for something outside their control like a D/C. But sadly I'm sure plenty do. It doesn't make much sense to kick someone who can be back faster than a replacement, and lose a LB bar in the process, but people don't think about that. Who's to say their replacement wouldn't have the same issue or just not contribute. With this s type of D/C, it's possible to rejoin ASAP so if someone is gone a few minutes and didn't contribute to the effort in the first place, they're gone after a few min goes buy. But kicking someone who's D/C prone or has them but returns is a crummy thing to happen when the solution should be- no more 90k's, not- kick the players who get them.

having 90k here too, as an additional info, i made a ping to ff xiv and then, another to google; ff xiv ping always loses packages while google ping give me normal results. i frequently use this to figure out if im lagging or having a problem with my connection but this is the first time i get something like this.

Ok, so I tried out some more matches and it honestly feels like a bug. I did 4 matches just now, alternating between travelling on foot and travelling on my mount.

EDIT: For clarity, I did 1 full match on foot, then another while mounting for travelling and then just repeated that.

I d/c 100% of the time if I travel with a mount (any mount, I've tried all of the ones I have available) and 0% of the time while I'm on foot.

Now I'm just playing FL by not mounting. It's bearable for me, but not so much for my party since I'm a healer and I can't keep up with them lol.

I think I'm experiencing a bug rather than a routing error/server troubles etc, but I'm not sure how to report it. I'll look into that and hopefully for those of you experiencing this too, it'll get looked at.

all day ury day 90k woot woot!!!!
