For Those with Time Warner Cable( Lag Issue)

[ZohnoReecho]

Using TWC from Lancaster, CA and the game's totally unplayable. Just today we were getting from 40 to 60 second lag with 1-2 seconds of it working in between.



Currently node 7 for us gets up to 40% packet loss and TWC is telling us that their node isn't their node. Though on average it's looking around 30% packet loss... Which isn't very good....

Otherwise Level 3's nodes are really bad. Especially node 16 which has given us about an average of 20% loss.

Tell them it's exactly their node, it's nicely written there. Even send them the link if they even try to say otherwise.

So far what I've gotten from TWC is that it's not their node. Got my modem reset after giving me a different IP. Was told to wait 48 hours before they'd have me call them again if I'm still suffering from problems. Um... I've been suffering from problems the entire phone call and have been recording everything going on and I get told that they have no problems and it's not even theirs.

The routing for it all is retarded as well. So I get routed from CA to Kansas (bad node 7) and then back into CA again with Level 3.

So far I don't see my connection getting better in the foreseeable future. From what I understand, eventhough I'm seeing that node 7 is dead... It may not be node 7's fault at all. It may be that TWC can't connect with L3 well and that causes my node 7 to see nonstop errors.

Edit: Apparently nodes 3 through 17 are all located in Kansas.

They are lieing. That IP has their name written all over it.

apparently im in this same boat here with TWC i havent played in alittle over a month and logged in today and could barley move the game was so laggy and choppy and was perfect before i stopped playing whats the deal!!!

I have TWC and live in NC and had this same problem, spoke with a friend of mine who works in IT, and he told me to change my DNS to Google DNS

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

I changed my DNS to those, and i no longer have the 2-3 second lag spikes where everyone just stops. Hope this helps people.

How do you change it to this? Also read from other posts that this didn't help them. Though I'd love to try it to see if it helps any.

I changed my routers DNS and its a world of difference for me i was about to stop playing altogether because of the spikes, and now I have none.

I'm afraid that I don't understand the internet anymore. Currently at a 55% packet loss and the game has been very playable for the last few hours. 1 second lag with about 5 second relieve.

TWC, Upstate NY. Near constant 2 second hiccups, with longer 10-15 second "freezes". Well fighting Titan, he'll just teleport into the center and do his landing damage as opposed to walk, jump, and stomp. Same with both weights and bombs. There is no dropping animation for the bombs half the time, they'll just appear en masse, and the weights will appear only as they're going off.

Have absolutely no issue with any other MMO, or Netflix, or digital downloads or anything. It's totally, 100% isolated to FFXIV.

I keep having friends asking me about it getting the game, and I seriously can't recommend it to any of them simply because of technical issues, knowing they'd be less patient and understanding than I am about them. And I'm quickly losing that patience myself. It only seems to get worse every week and with every "maintenance".

as of 12/09 the day after maintenance i am no longer getting lag spikes. anyone else?
