I mean, you can't really say that it's because of too many players because it's not laggy in Ul'dah or Limsa despite the crowd. I don't understand why it's laggy in Eureka...
Thanks.
Why is it laggy in Eureka?

It actually is laggy in those places, depends on your machine specs and game settings. In Eureka it's harder to avoid because all those players are usually focused in select locations and the game and servers have to calculate damage and skills and buffs, as well as all the enemies...
If you haven't already, I'd recommend reducing the number of objects loaded, as well as disable other players' skills' visuals. Might help some. -

I'll leave it to you to work out the answer. -

Can't believe this is a question lol
Connection and Machine specs really. I have Zero lag, then again mp machine is high spec. If you want to make it more stable lower the graphics and mainly show your own or party. Disable all others. -

Gee, I wonder... -

I want to say you're trolling but part of me also thinks this is a serious question. I'm confused.

Maybe for Eureka they should just cut mobs in there by half and cut it from 144 players to 75. That should help ones that's lagging bad in there.

Oh look, another golden nugget forum thread by he of the stellar social skills.
Clearly you have forgotten that there are zero mobs, zero fates and zero combat in Ul'dah and Limsa.Quote:

This feels different. I'm getting lagged out everywhere now, including in Rhalgr's Reach or the Mist. It started in Alphascape. Where the lag was so bad I spent my last fight 99% kissing the floor and watching as the game would pause and then catch up every 30secs to a minute.
It feels akin to a DDoS attack again. -

Pyros feels like a ddos attack in there every time entered it this week. Get zero lag outside Eureka.
