Connectivity issue.

While playing, I've noticed this nifty issue while healing dungeons. Happens atleast 1 time each run, sometimes, 2-3 at the extreme.

Issue:
Send/Receive goes to 0/XXXX. This makes me incapable of healing, moving, or acting in any way. However, that being said, my screen shows me with the party, but the party sees me way behind them, just standing around.

The only awkward part of this, is I can still chat with the group, with no issues.

Troubleshooting done:
I've confirmed my internet is fine, ran speed tests, browsed the internet, talked on voice chats and had no issue with connecting to the internet.

Ran pings to the servers, everything came back fine.


This issue has been persistent since CBT3, during the Duty Finder release.

Can still be issues with your ISP, if they have packet shaping and things enabled.
Which ISP are you using?

I'm having the same problem, i've reset my pc, modem, router, and direct connected my computer to my modem, i have problem sense Sunday-throught today

I'm having the issue as well. It also started on Sunday for me. Everything was fine, then I was disconnected from a dungeon, (So was everyone else in my party) but upon logging back in, I had huge lag spikes that last 10-20 seconds each, every few seconds. I also get disconnected after "playing" for about 20 minutes. This issue has rendered the game completely unplayable, as I'm unable to do dungeons, quests, or even mine. The chat log seems to work fine at all times.

I've run tests that confirm that the problem is not with my ISP or connectivity.

I'm playing on Hyperion (NA/EU server) from Japan.

There is maintenance in a little more than 14 hours... That should fix your problems...

go the same problem as well since sunday night east time when am able to log, getting lag spike than 5-10 min later error 9000. My sister playing on the same router but another server and she got no problem. look like server side.

So, post maintenance, this issue is still occuring.

Yep, I get huge lag spikes then 90000 error. Was fine before patch, on the plus side I can login 5 mins after error but please fix ASAP.

Same, I can get right back in but still... frustrating :/

Same issue on balmung server.

Had this happen to me 4 times in an hour, it's extremely bothersome.

Sounds downright infrequent compared to my lag issues. I get it every three to five minutes it seems like. Somehow managed to only get the 90000 error once since Monday, but it doesn't make any difference since it's impossible to play the game effectively with this much lag. It is not ISP throttle either, as I checked on that. I've been buying Square's (and Enix's) stuff since the 80's, but this might be the last time I buy in good faith at launch.

Even if the ISP doesn't directly throttle or filter traffic, there are other nodes between the ISP and SE that can cause issues as well.

You should post which ISP you're using.

I checked with a few friends and none of them reported the issues you are experiencing. Must be something with your ISP as Nekodar says.

If that's the case, why would I have had no issues up until this past Monday? My ISP is through OCN / NTT in Japan, and it's a fiber optic connection that I've had no issues with where any other game is concerned. I'm on PS3 as well, so my options for diagnostic measures are a little limited. I've contacted OCN and they assured me they weren't throttling anything I was running. Also, this issue is all over these forums, so we're hardly alone on this.

I am using Time warner, if it were an ISP issue, the guy who lives next door to me, would be having the same issue, yet he isn't. figured that would have been enough to eliminate that as a ruling factor.

Here's a topic about it under Technical Support. More than likely, you're experiencing the same issue, which means it's not your ISP.

So please, stop blaming everyone's ISP.

You are such a tool sir , you go in every thread with that issue asking people for their ISP like it will make a difference and you tell them it;s their ISP when it's not. Stop being a jerk i am tire of seeing your obnoxious post everywhere when we try to find solution and you just bring " What's your ISP " when we obviously all did our little test or phone call to know if it was our ISP in first hand. Just get out of the forums right now we don't need you. That's the first time i am being really rude to someone on the forum but you are a tool and you deserve it.

@ Paintballrulz: I agree, it's frustrating. I have no idea why this guy wants to adamantly insist that it's your ISP when there are so many things that could possibly go wrong, most of them being under the realm of SE's responsibility. I'm a big fan of SE, but I'll be the first to tell you that they have a long history of awful customer service and a habit of taking a long time to get around to acknowledging/fixing technical issues.

@ OP: Please update your first post with a link to this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...serious-issues

It's posted under technical support, so I'm hoping that more people posting in that thread will make SE more likely to notice it.

Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon and we can all get back to playing.
