Everyday disconnect. Willing to do w/e i need to, to get it to stop.

Hmm. So I just ran winMTR against 204.2.229.10 and I'm also getting a pretty high lossrate on 204.2.229.234. But, maybe it just doesn't like pings or something? Because I've been playing every day without issue.

Ok, appreciate it! Thank you for running that. So that probably isn't the issue, just seen a lot of people with this issue say that and no one has said I have no problems and have high packet loss there as well until now. So I guess it's probably a hardware issue but I have no idea what to replace. I mean I bought my nighthawk xr300 less than a year ago and it came out in 2019. So I think it would be fine. I mean at this point I am down to believe hardware issue too, and maybe ffxiv is more taxing than anything else I do. The reason why it's the only game/thing to disconnect. Also, it is just like everything is fine then I d/c immediately but then can immediately log back in so it is just a spike. So power supply issue? graphic card issue? Hmm, I tried drkdays suggestion of lowering the graphics. So maybe this will help. Like I said I will give it a week and see if not i guess i will start replacing everything to do with graphics and connection, except for my isp unfortunately only have one where I live.

My issue was exactly like this, and it was still a network issue of course, just not what it seemed at first. So, I wouldn't write off network entirely. VPN didn't help you so, I guess, make sure to check the firewall... if you have antivirus that's not windows' built in, make sure it doesn't also come with a firewall that might be interfering? And if you haven't already tried it, bypass your router/directly plug in the computer to the modem and see if that helps maybe?

And just to doublecheck - you're getting 90k errors, right?

If you're not getting an error message and it just crashes/goes black, then personally, I'd take that as a queue to check for driver issues, look at the windows event log, and so on.

But if it's 90k, I'd focus more on firewall/router/network etc.

I don't have a VPN and I can stay connected for days, it's a question of connection stability, micro outages that go unnoticed in normal net usage don't bother, but the slightest outage with MMO servers or any online game and you're disconnected.

It's best to check with your internet provider, it has nothing to do with FFXIV.

I'm on Ps4 Pro with a good low latency and stable connection, I don't have any disconnection issues usually, the connection issues but it's very rare over the year.

It's not just microoutages.

Like the OP, I could play other games way more latency sensitive than FF14 and never have an issue. My connection, sans VPN, is very stable.

But for some reason FF14 and one other game had a lot of trouble. I can only guess that maybe my ISP was trying to block something malicious and the 2 games got caught up in it. What isn't a guess: it wasn't the connection suddenly going unstable - I started monitoring everything else very closely during my troubles, and there definitely weren't microoutages nor sudden spikes in packetloss.

Though I'm not sure that's necessarily Malakii's issue, it's definitely possible for FF14 to struggle with a stable, low ping connection.

Yeah, it is 90k, got 4 today. I have my graphics on low now. So I don't think that is the issue. Specifically 90001. Found alot of helpful guides on the internet apparently this is common for windows users. So i am going to go down these list and give them a try. If any works i will update. Thanks for all the replys.

In case any of this helps anyone with their issue. My issue seems to be resolved by changing things inside my network adapaters.

Press “Window + R”, type in “devmgmt.msc” and press Enter on your keyboard to launch into the device management window.
Typing devmgmt.msc in the Run prompt
Typing devmgmt.msc in the Run prompt
Double click on the “Network adapters” dropdown and right-click on your network device.
Select the “Update driver” option and choose the “Search automatically for updated driver software” button.
Search automatically for updated driver to fix Final Fantasy XIV Error 90001
Search automatically for updated driver
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.
After that, repeat from steps 1 to 3 but this time, select the “Properties” option instead of “Update driver” and go to the “Power Management” tab.
Uncheck the option “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” and also disable the “Energy Efficient Ethernet” option.
Save these changes and restart your computer.
Check to see if you have been able to fix the Final Fantasy XIV Error 90001 on your computer.

I had no issues for the last few days.
