Sudden Lag & Packet Loss

[VulpessRahl]

Do you have a VPN service you recommend?

I currently have been using the Norton VPN, most good VPNs you will have to pay for, free VPN services make money somehow

I attempted to chat with Frontier support and they ended the chat without responding.

I suggest you talk to them via their social media either twitter or Facebook. I contacted them earlier but unfortunately it was too early for the issue to occur. They did however, respond to me really quick. If more people press them with the issue / say they are going to switch I am pretty sure they will be forced to see wth is going on.

Popping back up to say that I didn't experience any of the packet loss so far tonight. Yesterday connection degradation began around 4 PM, today it's been fine so far (it's currently 8:43 PM). Hopefully it continue this way, and for anyone still having issues I hope they get fixed. I'll post again if it comes back.

Still experiencing it myself and sent a report to Square Enix already about it. Really hoping it'll be fixed so I can actually play this patch and not fall too far behind on progress.

Reporting post patch, ping was averaging 32 and now holds at 16 for me. Abnormal packet loss has ceased, all green on my end.

After hotfixes it has cleared up for me. Ultimate prog happened and everything lined up correctly

I've not had issues in the past two nights. I had a lot of buffering when watching streams and that seems to have cleared up as well.
Fingers crossed, things stay this way.

I've been kind of scared not to use VPN since this happened, but I'll try it out to see if these hotfixes did anything tomorrow.
