Game is way too picky when it comes to a single packet loss

[Snow_Princess]

I do not know why this game expects your internet to be 100% perfect, 24/7:


this single packet loss prevented me to mount (I had to cast it twice)

I been monitoring pings and such closely due to the blaming of my ISP, but it does not look like all problems are linked to it.

That's because there is server verification on a lot of things to help prevent cheating. I prefer it over gameguard and that other crap games make you install for cheat prevention.

People still cheat though people teleport hack, etc... gather bot.. you can spam reports on endgame level gather bots but they do nothing. So I do not see that as an excuse to have it that way, ffxi does not do that and that game is fine, and that game has more reason to be more protective since they do not hand you stuff and takes years to get (they just ban you)

I've seen similar issues tonight with packet loss. My last instance was very laggy and I thought it may be my ISP. I did a tracert, then I checked pings to some IP addresses along the route to FFXIV's gear. I didn't see any issues. I'm only seeing packets drop a lot when I ping the FFXVI IP directly.

Did you do a tracert to see if the issue was actually directly from SE's servers and not your own ISP?

I been testing my butt off lately because I want to know who to blame and right now my isp is in hot water, this ping is from this vpn:

my isp wants to go to new york first with my data, this 69-78 ms from VPN is turned from a 130-150 MS due to the extra hops my isp does, this is a lot more stable then my isp , as i have yet to D/C from this vpn ( wtfast had a d/c going to lav beds) from the 2 spots I been constantly d/cing with my real isp, that was teleporting to lav beds, and at the end of the DF if CS was on, I would d/c during the ending CS.

When I saw the mount fail i looked at my cmd ping command, it was 1 line, it happened right as the cast finished,causing the mount to fail.

Seems more like it would be an issue of ping rather than packet loss if your ISP does more ms than the VPN connection. But it could just be the hops that your ISP uses aren't that great so you are getting packet loss. I would also guess that a higher ping would also result in a higher chance of packet loss.

This game depends too much on server checks, I can play gw2 with packet loss and barely notice it.

The worst thing is latency affecting gameplay. Your overall dps and ability to dodge shouldn't be affected by something so arbitrary.

Still having the same dumb connection issue(delayed packets/error 90006) since the 4.06a patch. My passed month has been nothing but calling my ISP to query many things and posting on their forums. They even sent me a new router to try and see if that resolved my issue, but nope. I've also been taking a lot of networking "advice" from SE support via Email. Tried out many things, but still nope. The issues persist and eventually SE support loops you back around to these very forums, where I began.

I'm tired of it now, really tired. I've never tried to troubleshoot my network/pc settings etc. so much before. Just because of something that clearly went wrong during a patch. I was absolutely fine before that patch. But whatever, I honestly feel like I've done all I can. I'm actually burnt out on "querying" my settings and w/e else. Everything works fine, but my connection to this game.
