Solution for all you suffering from gameplay delay (aka can't move out of red zones)

[Mishari]

Solution for all you suffering from gameplay delay (aka can't move out of red zones / aka my latency is too high etc.)

First of: In most cases the problem is not your internet connection or that the servers
are so "far" away (I'm looking at you eu players. I myself am from europe.)
Some may suffer from bad routing. But that is a ISP thing.
SE itself said, that some ISP's handel the FFXIV-Client as a P2P application.
In the german forum, the com rep is gathering information from players about their ISP's.
Rep said, that SE is in contact with some ISP's, trying to find a solution.

Now to a solution, that may help many of you because
in most cases it is a client/hardware problem.
Try this: Go to your graphic settings and choose a standard setting.
Then go to display settings, scroll down and set "Frame Rate Limit" to "None".
That's it. Try it out and tell me if it helped.
It has helped me and many other players as well.

This is of course only a workaround.
SE must do something about it.

Edit:
After you edited your settings, your FPS should be 50+.
If this is not the case, i'm not sure if this workaround will help you.

I will give this a shot right now because as now, i cant do Titan without feeling like i am playing russian roulette.

I'll try this out, granted I don't have this problem as bad but I am sometimes caught in red zones when tanking, and want to see if I can improve in any way. Another solution I found that works is to move farther away from red zones, like literally walk as far away from them as you can. I always give this advice when fighting Titan for players having trouble with landslide, and I find they have much less trouble doing so.

I thought I was imagining that. Sometimes if I stop right next to the AOE i'm still hit, but if I run far from it it's fine !

yeah, that s what you suppose to do after all, the Legacy had done that back since in 1.0. Run a bit farther away from the rec circlet is a safe solution

Those of us on the PS3, sadly, do not have that option. At least I do not see one anyhow.

I find though, that I do not have much of an issue with RZ's and LAG, unless I am severely lagging. And that happens rarely to be honest.

But it would be nice to see a fix of some sorts in the near future, as I am most sure that it is effecting a lot of peeps

My solution is trying to move before the AoE even start showing the red zone. for the example, Titan will always face the tank but if he start to turn around you should start running no matter if the landslide will be on you or not. for the plumes just keep running around before the plumes appear.

Another thing i used to do:
As soon as im out of the red zone, i start a skill.
It's not importatnt that the skill aktivates. Just hit a button.
The server will recognize your position if you do that.

But since i did the settings-thing, there is no more need for that.

Assuming you're keep tabs on who it does or doesn't help.. I have tried this (as well as turning the graphics down to low with FPS at unlimited) and I still get hit while out of stuff. Mine isn't bad, as long as I get out by 85%-90% of the cast bar I'm fine.. it's that last percentage bit that tends to get me hit even if I'm out.

Also, just as a net thing... using speedtest...

That's with my boyfriend streaming. Picking a random server in Canada (they don't really have many available).. I get...

[B][SIZE="2"]not .3 positional delay or some other shit people came up with.

Positional checks every 0.3 seconds is not "some shit people came up with" but a dev confirmed thing. It was 0.4 before they lowered it to what it is now in beta. Also, taking an FPS limiter off should have no logical reason to help with the problem in question, and it also shouldn't randomly raise your FPS to 50+ if it wasn't there already. Or did you have the limit at 30?
