Constant packet loss since patch 6.3

[Szylver]

impossible for me to play like this. 90006 error all day, freezes and lag spikes. Internet is fine because i tried other games and no problem.

[Maajka]

Also having problems since 6.35.

I commented on the other thread linked earlier in this one about the memory leaks and almost a month later, I am still experiencing the same issues. It seems to be totally random and is happening across many different zones and instances. Some days I can play totally fine, others I cannot.

Game locks up, memory usage spikes to 99%, then either recovers after 20s-1 min or does not, and either crashes or I am forced to hard restart the game. No 3rd party tools, my FPS is locked to 60 and my settings are below what I know my machine can handle.

Please at least acknowledge this is a problem, Square!

Seems worse for me since the 6.38 patch. i am seeing people freeze more often outside of duties, and GCDs also are not registering once again…
So annoying. :/

[Smollett]

Thing got even worse after the patch. Memory leaks every few minutes. Gj SE, you make everything to people can't play your game.

Dear mods, do us a favor and show up in this thread.

I've been having connection issues with Crystal and Dynamis data centers since Saturday. So that's 3 days prior to the 6.38 update. Tracert has been indicating it's ntt.net or the data centers themselves. At first I thought maybe some preliminary work was being done prior to the big server upgrades, but nothing has changed after the upgrade. Every single time I connect to Crystal or Dynamis I get constant lag spikes. The red pokeball is now a minion that checks on me every 10-20 seconds. It doesn't matter what time of day, it appears to be packet losses happening all the time. Dungeons, trials, and raids are very unpleasant because I miss half of what's going on. Frontline is worse because the game actually drops connection about once a minute.
Standard stuff: only FFXIV, experiencing no connection issues with any other online game or any other internet content, when = genuinely always since the beginning of April.

This issue had fixed itself before the 6.38 patch, and as of today it's actually back, so that's great.
edit: In this case (unlike the 6.35 case) using mudfish actually resolved the issue. Makes me think it's routing through a bad node or something, w/e. Leaving this here in case it helps someone else.

Having this issue too. Did trace route to neolobby06.ffxiv.com and got node which is consistently timing out:

7 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms s-b3-link.ip.twelve99.net [62.115.174.226]
8 16 ms 16 ms 16 ms s-bb2-link.ip.twelve99.net [62.115.118.108]
9 41 ms 40 ms 40 ms ffm-bb2-link.ip.twelve99.net [62.115.138.105]
10 40 ms 41 ms 41 ms ffm-b11-link.ip.twelve99.net [62.115.124.119]

12 * * * Request timed out.
13 41 ms 40 ms 40 ms 80-239-145-6.teliacarrier-cust.com [80.239.145.6]

So this is definitely issue on SE end. Game is quite unplayable now, can't even do one dungeon w/o disconnecting.

Tho I guess you can't really blame this small indie game company for messing up their networking/infrastructure (:

Experiencing it quite a bit once more on Aether, especially in instances (e.g. Raids, dungeons, PvP).

First post here since I've been getting constant lag and wanted to see if others have the same problem. Glad I'm not the only one who is experiencing this. I'm from Primal and it was completely fine since 6.3 and 6.35. But two weeks prior to 6.38 was when I got the lag. It wasn't too bad and when they announce new hardware change, I thought it would've been fine, but it actually got worse. Lag was frequent especially in raids and hunts, and it got to the point where sound was also cutting off. I thought it was on my end, but after playing other online games, switching wifi to wired, and from this thread, this has to be on their end. Not to mention I'm close from the data server (west coast) if that even matters. I submitted a form, so hopefully some action takes place regards to this.

I too have been experiencing the sound cutting off. Things freeze for more than 10 seconds and then catch up all at once.
ARaids are powerpoint presentations now. It's impossible to play this while it's in this state right now.
I am from Aether - Faerie. I really hope that some action is taken to fix this.
