Latency Issues still not fixed??

[NyneAlexander]

this new latency issue is definitely on squares end and most likely related to the patch. Using a VPN to bypass crappy nodes has NOT fixed the issue.

What patch? Even the 2.28 hot fix was the 6th and the issue started on the 8th. There have also been plenty of reports of battleping fixing tge issue. Haven't read much from WTFast users. There's also enough reports of people (myself included) who aren't having any problems. You can ping the problem node outside the game and see the issue.

2.28 WAS the patch. :P They did hotfix it though.

And the issue doesn't correlate with the 2.28 release OR the hot fix... It sounds more like the daily reset caused SEs servers to be assigned fresh IPs from their ISP on potentially a different DNS that is routing through a node that can't handle the volume.

I don't know much about networking so I can't really speak on the technical issues. I also guess this doesn't give me much cause to blame SE for this. However, what I do know is there was a patch, there was a hotfix, and my connection went from pretty good to "abhorrent". And using battleping, routed to the DC and New York servers, did not fix the issue at all. Rubberbanding and network hiccups left and right. Primals and Coil were unplayable.

I play on PS3, so I can't do everything that you've done. But generally I don't have any kind of lag issues. But yesterday, all day, I had huge lag spikes in dungeons and instances. A party of all i90+ players wiped 3 times on Thornmarch (Hard, not extreme) last night. We were just playing it for fun. But so many of us had these huge lag issues that it was damn near impossible, even with the 20% echo!

Hm...now I'm wondering if it was a PSN issue because now they're doing ninja maintenance and I can't log back in.

That could be a possibility. I know that at least one other person in my party who was lagging like I was plays on a PS4.

The current issues with the FFXIV servers are due to problems in the Level 3 network. If you look at 4.69.153.86 (Level 3, Montreal 2), 4.69.140.89 (Level 3, Chicago 1), 4.69.132.62 (Level 3, Chicago 2), and 4.28.20.29 (Level 3, Denver) you'll see that these hops have heavy packet losses going on. While I have to think that Level 3 knows about these issues since they're a major internet backbone it would be nice to have some level of communication.

For now all i can say is don't beat SE or Sony too hard. These issues are out of their control
