Frequent R0 lag spikes and freezing

[Stanice]

I've been having this problem, too. And it still remains here, and actually it is happening to me real frequent, in every 2 minutes or so I see 'R0'. It was happening before the last maintenance and it still happens after that. Guess it is not our connection, since we all connect from a huge variety of countries with different ISS and router/modems. This has to be their server issues. And they should find a solution asap cuz this is completely killing will to play, at least it does for me.

So .. fourth day and we're still having the same problem where we get R0 for long periods of time where we can only chat and the game is unplayable. It also happens all day, regardless of the peak times or anything. One thing I've noticed is that I couldn't connect to Square Enix official website during the time I had R0 in the game (or specifically the page you're redirected to login to forums), and then my connection was established for both at the same time.

The question is, is SE actually looking into this? This is killing my will to play the game as well, I mean how many times do we have to be disapppointed to quit the game for good?

Its so odd this issue has been going on for a long time now. And sometimes its gone for weeks, and sometimes it comes back with a vengeance. It seemed ok until the recent emergency maintenance, so i dont know whats going on anymore. I'll still remain patient, because getting over-the-top upset isnt going to fix anything. It would be great if SE could acknowledge something on this tho.

I had this exact same problem for a few days. Either I would R0 and be unable to do anything or I couldn't log in at all, but both times noticed I was unable to get to FFXIV's main page or the forums...

My solution was to reset my router, which would bring both back up to working properly... for at least a couple hours, and then the whole thing would start over again. The situation was only really resolved after I ran a speed test during one of these "lag sessions" and saw that I was getting somewhere in the range of 1mb-200kb connection speed. I called my ISP and haven't had the problem since.

It's still a problem.

I agree that it seems to have gotten worse since emergency mainteance.

Experienced same problem where chat worked, R0 and could not do any actions. Screen was frozen.

I have the same problem, started after the update this week. I did some monitoring with Windows Network Monitor and Wireshark and they both detected TCP packages that were resend (and thus causing the R0). Strange thing is I never had any issue with the connection before.

So I've been encountering this issue primarily between 1830 - 2030 GMT+8 time. Only things that suffer connection issues are FFXIV and Lodestone pages. I can browse the any other sites, converse on vent and download as per nomal. My connection is perfectly stable except this inability to communicate with SE servers primarily around these times each night, which is a royal pain considering it as at these times that we do events and is our prime play time.

Has there been any official comment from SE on this matter?

[Drako]

Its sad that this drama continues with R0 whats it been now a month? Ugg I'll still remain patient.. not much we can do about it.

this issue seems to have finally hit me today. it didnt really start till the evening after around 9:30 EST. not sure why this is happening but i know my connection to my ISP is stable right. i might have to flush everything just to be safe.

This happens to me around the same time all the time as well. It is only with FFXIV too, everything else is stable. Sometimes i am in R0 for up to 30 seconds or so, and the server never disconnects me. It never happened before 1.18, however afterwords it started every now and then, and after 1.19 it happens all the time.

Not sure if this temp fix will apply, but it has helped in a few cases. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...or-Error-30002
