    i have found that this only happens on window mode, if i leave the FFXIV window and start using another window lets say google chrome, the UI timer will offset and somtimes when going back to ffxiv window ill get red connection icon and UI is non responsive for like 5 secs the i get green connection ui responds but timers are off.

    if you can please confirm this i think it would help devs to know whats causing the issue.

    to test try playing full screen for like an houra and see how often if it happens, your timers show the wrong timer. then set windowed mode play, then chose another windows window then back to ffxiv and check timers

    I play full screen. I rarely log out, so I think it's happening because I leave the game on all the time. Only way to fix is to completely shut down and restart the game.

    This sounds like an issue with your internet then. I have this issue only because I have shite internet. Not ALL the time but I know exactly what you are describing here. Just because you are told by your ISP that you have X and Y doesn't mean you get X or Y. Read the fine print. No matter WHAT provider you have or type, FiOS, Cable, DSL or Sat, you are only legally gauranteed a certain amount from your provider. I'm not sure what the cap is but I do know from working for both Comcast and Charter, they advertise 16 MB DOWNLOAD, but they will only gaurantee 128k LMFAO! So yeah.

    Edit: This really only applies to US ISP providers. In Europe, they have a much better and more consistent network and actually CARE that you get what you pay for or damn close to it.
