[Dev response requested] Unplayable lag since the hotfixes

[Alhanelem]

putting [dev response requested] won't get you a dev response. Please refrain from placing tags like that in your topic titles, it just clutters them up and doesn't accelerate resolution of your question/issue.

the community team is on vacation anyway, so the soonest you could possibly get a dev response is after the new year.

I've also had this issue since the 2.1 patch. Everyone will stop for like 5-10 seconds then dart off somewhere else, almost like there has been a clog up of information. I can't say if 2.1 caused this since i stopped playing 3 weeks prior to 2.1. But i've been loving the 2.1 patch so i tend to log in more often now. Also just a note. This seems to only happen after 10PM EST for me and i'm with Charter communications. Just replaced my router and modem because of this, so hopefully it fixes issues.

PS: Happy holidays everyone!

I used to have this problem, but I actually found an odd fix. Hopefully it works for all of you too. What happens is if I launch FFXIV with ANY OTHER PROGRAM open, I will consistently lag for 10+ seconds at a time. HOWEVER, the fix I found is that if I close all the programs on my computer (excluding non-intensive programs such as an instant messenger) the lag will not occur. However one type of program that will cause this lag for me are all voice chat programs. Raidcall mumble teamspeak ANYTHING related to VOIP will cause my xiv to experience the 10 second lag if it is open before XIV. Try this out and see if it works for you.

This problem began right after the last Network Maintenance for every person with Verizon FIOS. It's not related to individual PC lag.

It's been pretty bad for me as well last couple hot-fixes. I've had to move before plumes spawn to avoid them (look at others' positions and run from group) which is less than useful when trying to get a healer relic. Also saw someone be hit with a landslide from 20+ ft out of it (was already and sprint and went from one edge to the other). That was... humorous, but surely frustrating for the victim.

I personally don't have Fios, but I have Verizon as my ISP. I've been having a lot of freezes since yesterday, and it happens during most of the day. It only gets better during midnight.

Some players on Technical Support suggest that it has to do with the snowstorm that hit the northeast part of United States, which caused a large amount of traffic problems.

I hope the maintenance we're having today will fix it.

I tried playing during a few fates after i set up my new modem and router and i get the same thing. I thought it might be fixed but i'm not sure what i can do about this now. I replaced everything @ my house and i still am getting the same huge pauses between actions. People will fight in a fate then just stand there and the same with the enemies, then after 5-10 seconds, it'll just all go fast like it was in fast forward. Ironic that now that i want to actually play the game, it prevents me from enjoying it.

My fiancee and I are having the same problems with Verizon fios and ffxiv. Hopefully it's already fixed or fixed soon :<!
