Frequent R0 lag spikes and freezing

[Orophin]

Did a traceroute from work (Qwest/Centurylink provider) to my game server and it takes a totally different route up till the game server. It stays within Qwest's network until it hops over to Japan. Could others on Cox, Mediacom, Pipex, etc, post some traceroute results to their server IP and/or 202.67.48.202?

Guys, let me know if you're experiencing R0's this evening (Monday October 24th). I've been running smooth so far and I believe it may be because it's a weekday and there are less people online tonight.

I'll update the thread around 11 PM PST with any news of R0's on my end.

ya it seems to be working ok tonight. Idk.


relatively normal, got a couple spikes up to 40ms, but its pretty normal right now.

It's 9 PST and I haven't had any R0's yet, but I did have a couple yellow lag spikes. Will keep y'all posted.

Glad to hear it Pia!

It's 11 PST now so I believe we've made it through tonight's prime hours. I'm happy to say that I didn't have any R0's either.

With that said, I'm starting to think that the reason we're getting R0's in the first place is due to our servers being over loaded with users. The fact that we were able to avoid an R0 episode tonight can be explained by there being less people playing on a weeknight (school+work the next morning etc).

Unfortunately, if the above is true there is probably little we can do to resolve the latency issues during the weekend prime hours. Hopefully with the upcoming server re-structuring they'll be able to address and optimize the servers so we can have a better experience over weekends.

No lag tonight..maybe SE ninja fixed something. Let's just hope it doesn't break again.

[Bluetaro]

I doubt they would have fixed the issue this quick without any feed back or hotfix notes, so I'm going to wait till this weekend before getting my hopes up.

(I hope you're right though Oro!)

I would tend towards being skeptical. I'm not trying to be negative, but thurs-sat was more or less the same for me as last night. But I do also hope its gone for good.

Last night must have been a slow night for FFXIV on the bodhum server. I only had 1-2% packet loss. I will monitor again on Tues.
