not sure wer to find out the ip address for cactuar but in command prompt type ping then the number. this will then give u your min/max and average ms results (ping) for the server

I have a 50-60% improvement in latency reduction with WTFast from 180ms to 100-110. I wouldn't play the game without it. This is with the basic model (free)



Sometimes it says "no connection improvement" (it does this randomly and then shows numbers every now and then) but as you can see from the stats, the improvement is there. I have to check that warning though. My settings should be ok, i think. If i can get sub 100ms with paid sub, i might consider.

Wanted to tag on to this. I use WTFast and I pay for it, I use a wireless connection and with WTFast I go very smooth. I see al the beauty of my great axe swinging in the air to the sad face I create and the tears that flood on the ground after failing that 4 star synth.

I thought using this type of program was against the ToS for 3rd party software? Otherwise i'd be using it myself. Can someone confirm or deny this?

No, why would it? It's not affecting anything other than your connection from you to the data center.

1. Open task manager (ctrl+shift+escape, or right click on task bar then "Start Task Manager")
2. Go to the "Performance" tab and click on "Resource Manager"
3. Go to the "Network" tab, then click on "TCP connections"
4. Locate your FFXIV game file (can't remember the exact name atm), should be 2, one is client, one is game
5. Look at the right end of the list, you should see "Latency (ms)", that's your ping

We tested this out with Battleping rather than WTFast, but found that the reduction in ping that you see in Resource Monitor is because you're now getting a ping response from the local VPN endpoint rather than the game server, making it meaningless. Assuming WTFast works the same way, which it probably does, the reduction is likely to be significantly overrated by this method, and given that FFXIV doesn't report ping itself, it's rather difficult to confirm anything.
