    LAG Making FFXIV Unplayable

    Hi,

    Right around 7 PM EST I am plagued with lag that makes the game unplayable... this time it got so bad the game won't load... I'm on PC using a Comcast connection. Other players I have talked to have stated they are dealing with the same thing. Just putting it out there

    Thanks.

    Are you expecting SE to fix Comcast's terrible service? They own congressmen, I don't think SE is going to have much luck strong-arming them into fixing their hub routing issues. If it was really on SE's end you'd see more than a few complaint threads, basically the entire first page would be "FIX YOUR SERVERS!!!!!!"

    While it totally sucks you'd be better off raising the issue collectively with your ISP, barring that if you are on PC there are workarounds for the terrible hub routing many ISPs toss at us, if you are on console... good luck.

    Cox cable had same problems in past. From what I remember, level3.net (which comcast uses too i think) which is how many people in USA route to Canada's data center, is VERY laggy.

    I'm not sure if it got better or what happened, but my lag went away months ago. You can always try one of those routing programs to see if it can fix your latency. I think wtfast is a popular one.

    Since the way it works is you don't directly connect to the data center, you just hop through all kinds of networks, like all the various streets you might take on a cross country trip, a routing software would make you take a different path to the server. It's something I hate explaining cause it it sounds totally dumb when I explain it.

    But yea, if what I said made no sense, find a better nerd to explain it since my explanation sucks. :P But finding a better route to the data center, through your existing ISP would probably fix it for you.
