Same issue. I am from Australia on iPrimus and have not been able to play since logging in today.
Same issue, finding it moreso during instances (granted havn't been doing anything else lol)
Playing on Excailbur. My ping tests run 100 ms to the servers so don't know. but i've been getting lag spikes that have last 1min now its turning unplayable.
Same here, for my friend and I on opposite sides of the country with different ISPs. Also on Behemoth.
Yep, lagging from Aussie here ass well, I believe the problem is on the SE side of things as all my ping tests and tracerts don't show any issues.
SE need to address this and fast, it will be a problem within their network infrastructure, and I would imagine it's affecting everyone, not just the vocal few who are prepared to post on the forums here.
also lagging. a few hours ago before i go to sleep everything was fine. even sold a titan run. but now... eh.
Same here - either lag that makes the game unplayable or constant disconnects. I can't progress on any characters because I can't do the instances that each of my chicks need, and I can't progress on my 50 because I can't stay connected so I can do instance runs. I'm tired of chasing fates which is the only thing I can do (w/o a group) because I can lag out or disconnect at any moment.
I can play Rift and SW just fine, no lag, no disconnects. I'm getting beyond frustrated and I'm generally pretty chill. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that progression is tied to instances AND those instances require fast reaction times. My healer has been stuck on Titan for three days now because I lag out or disconnect every time I get in there.
Same. The lag is so bad I feel like im going to dc in any instance I enter
Exact same problem - Just first started happening after maintenance Thursday evening (HST) on Sargatanas, connecting from Hawaii.
Never had the problem before, played since beta 3. Now I get random 5-10 second lag spikes especially in dungeons such as AK or Ifrit Hard (interrupting eruption is really hard with those spikes...).
Started happening to me last night too. In dungeons, enemies would appear on my screen several seconds after other people could see them. Knew something was wrong when my friends were attacking thin air. Also, some monsters would be motionless then "teleport" halfway across the room. Made it completely impossible to play.
This hasn't happened to me yet, but I've had a few people run into this issue while doing AK. Two of the tanks I had last night were lagging terribly, and one couldn't even finish the run. Both were from Behemoth.
Same here. past 2-3 days experiencing heavy lag spikes. Never have seen them before.
After Thurs. maintenance was when it started for me as well. I was fine before that.
Ditto, I've never had a problem before and the lag spikes began a few days ago. The lag spikes occur particularly in dungeons. I'm still able to do Garuda, but I don't even want to bother attempting Titan.
Same here, it's hit or miss when it happens, sometimes I go hours with no problems, other times it's an every five minutes sort of thing.
It's extremely frustrating being blamed for a wipe because I lagged during an Eruption. I'm almost afraid to do any dungeons if I even get a hint that I might be lagging before-hand.
Same here. I'm in New York City and starting yesterday it got really bad. Tonight is almost unplayable. People will suddenly freeze on screen and then snap into place very quickly. When I'm crafting it will tell me I crafted something and then 3 seconds later the bar on the counter will register it. Just makes playing very difficult.
Same here. Lag spikes are out of control. Also was unable to see or target members of my party while running Castrum M. Glad its not just me.
This is happening to me as well. Really bad for me because I main as a healer. I hate having to leave a dungeon because I cant respond properly.
Exact same thing's going on with me. Started with Thursday maintenance never had a problem otherwise.
I basically 90k during boss cutscenes or when activating nodes, or changing characters. If not that, it's during specific boss moves. It's been happening consistently the past couple of days and has never been a problem before. I can't run dungeons and even starting a new class has become troublesome.
I've contacted my ISP, and they said the problem lies game server side. I'm not showing any problems in any other games/programs. I will link the tracert below.

but liek usual you will hear nothing from SE on this
Same here - couldn't do Titan last night due to it. Kept getting hit by AoEs I had run from immediately. I even got accused of trolling because the others in my PUG thought I wasn't trying at all :( Checked my connection and it's excellent... guess I'll stick to crafting and hope there's a fix soon.
Same here on Odin. Happens every day at 7-8 pm CEST.
Same here. Been getting really bad lag spikes lately, started over the weekend. I checked my connection and everything, even hard wired my connection just to make sure and getting the same results.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm on Hyperion and started noticing the same behavior others have described in this thread after last Thursday's maintenance. At first it wasn't happening very often. As the days pass it's becoming worse. I'm located in the middle of the United States and have checked my connection and set-up without finding any problems.
The behavior I'm experiencing is primarily but not limited to instances from the duty finder. As soon as combat starts, everything stops moving. I can still use skills and spells but it does not affect the target. I can move, but cannot interact with anything. I can even send and receive party chat. This will continue for anywhere between ten and thirty seconds until the game appears to fast forward to the point everyone else is at. during these lag spikes, my character appears (from the perspective of other party members) to be auto-attacking without using any of the skills I had been hammering on while I was stuck in limbo.
It got so bad at one point last night that I disconnected after about a two minute delay-three times in a row. This is the same behavior that one of my friends experienced in the dungeon, (Haukke Manor) but it happens in any dungeon.
This problem seems to be getting worse and renders progression in the main story line impossible.
Ye lag spikes here too from like 15 hours straight . It is very annoying while playing monk and trying to catch up with your formation of skills . like 7 seconds of combat all ok and then next 3 skills are delayed for like 1.5-3 seconds each . And ofc i take all aoe in the face ,no matter how quick i run from them.
If you are experiencing the game-breaking issue described in this thread, please reply with your experience and file a bug report in-game so SE will work to resolve it.
Im having the same issue. It has been ruining my game experience since yesterday night. Today until 12pm, i think, it was not that noticable, but after that it was a mess. Im playing at EU, Shiva server from Greece. I also contacted my ISP and they said there isnt any issue with the line at their end. I have also checked my ping with other games and it is my usual standard ping. I hope u'll fix it soon because i cannot run any instance or do any other activity like this.
Balmung, Today
Seeing spikes (as reported by Win7's Resource Monitor) up to 510ms+, though I suspect that it's higher than that, just not properly reported.
Same thing here. Have had constant 5-10 second delays last two evenings. I'm on Cerberus. It's decent during off hours, but now for example it's barely possible to level mining without going insane.
Bug report sent. Hope they fix it soon.
Yep, same here and playing from Finland. It's not my connection, tested it with 2 different connections and it does the same, also my broadband is on a 100mb fiber with a 10gb network. SE having problems again and judging from this thread it seems like I'm not the only one either with this problem.
Same here during peak hours getting major lag and only on this game my internet average 15ms ... I get hit by stuff I'm not standing in, I also have players pause a couple seconds then go fast forward mode to catch up
All started about a week ago
Same thing here, US connection,PS3, game is completely unplayable. Dungeons are so broken that first it lags, then it catches up all of a sudden (usually I die b/c I've been hit by enemies I couldn't see) then it goes back to lagging but all the enemies/bosses/my other party members vanish. I had a party literally carry my dead body thru an entire run because I couldnt do anything but needed the instance to progress the story.
Outside of dungeons there's always a small lag, even when there are no other PC around, if there are, or if there's a FATE anywhere NEAR me, forget it, nothing doing.
SE has a great game here, when it plays, but their customer relations are horrid. If the PS3 version is going to stay unplayable it shouldnt have been released, and the least they could do, since they won't do refunds, is give the PS3 players the PC version if that is like, a game that can actually be played.
Somehow I'm happy to see I'm not the only one with this problem. Have heard so much of "change your ISP !" and "it's your connection that is bad" or even "get a VPN !" but I'm sure this is not a problem on my side. My connection is perfect the rest of the time. Never had any trouble until approximately 2 weeks ago... and now, mainly on prime hours I'm having, not continuous lag (no problem at all avoiding the AoE for example, when everything is going well), but giant lag spikes that sometimes disconnect me. It gets worse in instances I would say but even in the outside world it can happen. It's extremely embarrassing when I'm tanking or healing, I don't dare to enter dungeons anymore...
Good thing is that until the problems happened I used to play very smoothly so it's not like the problem cannot be fixed...
Got big lag for the first time monday evening on Cerberus, from Sweden. Continued yesterday.
Happened the last two nights on Moogle for me, and it's happened occasionally before but not regularly. I'm in UK, on PllusNet. It's been fine for me all day pretty much, same thing yesterday. Very annoying.
I am having this problem also, people on my screen freeze for several seconds then resume making dungeons very hard to play.
