LAGfest 2014!

[Cinicus]

I have had all I can take of this non stop lag in-game. This is the only game that gives me any lag at all! I have done the TcpAck frequency fix and called my ISP. Nothing helps and its only getting worse. SE please do something as I am a customer and have done all I can on my end. the lag I get is moments of no response from command inputs and the spikes last for varying amounts of time. It happens WAY TO MUCH!

Like everyone in all the other threads are saying, it's likely not SE. It's how your internet is routed to SE. Change your internet provider.

I was with TWC and had the same thing as you. Called them and had them come out multiple times to 'fix' the issue. They couldn't. Switched to ATT and haven't had 1 bit of lag or lost data packets since. It's how your company routes the traffic to the SE server. That's why stuff like VPNs help a lot of people, it changes how you're routed.

If you don't like it, either stop subscribing or change your internet provider. /shrug

Seriously ppl stil having lag?
Im not gonna lie i spike here and there but full lag only one time in T4 but it fixed when i loged out lol

[Cinicus]

Ya people still have lag and it sucks! Ya I'm going to try WTFast and hope it fixes things. I do not want to stop playing as I love this game it's just a shame that it is the only online game I play that has these issues

I died on Stone Vigil last night when final boss flew up due to lagged. It hurt..... a lot.

From what I can see once my connection hits hops for Level3.net (especially the montreal Level3) I get higher ping times and packet loss with high jitter. Only solution for me was to get VPN, for 30 euros I figured I'd give SE the benefit of the doubt when I bought it that it would be resolved within a year. It sucks though because it's not something people should have to do to play the content in this game.

Ya I have a hard time justifying paying for an additional service just to play this game. It's unfortunate that it is my last option and looks like there is no other way.

I'm not entirely sure what my problem is. I can play the game perfectly fine, no lag (except for some minor lag in populated areas, and even then it isn't super noticeable), but every time I go in a dungeon, I'll always without fail get either a lag spike that freezes the world around me for 20-30 seconds, or I'll get a 90k. Or both.

And the kicker is, it only seems to happen once in a dungeon. I will go the entire run perfectly fine, and then suddenly on one boss (it doesn't seem to matter which), I'll suddenly lag out or 90k. Even more annoying is that this wasn't a problem until recently, I believe after one of the small minor patches we had. Before that, I never had any trouble in dungeons with lag or 90k's, except once in a blue moon. But since then, I've had at least freeze lag in any dungeon I've done almost without fail, and plenty of 90k's along with them. It's a bit annoying being unable to do dungeons for fear of this happening.

(And yes, I've checked with my ISP, it's fine. My connection is fine, I have no dc'ing or crashing problems with any other games I own, whether single-player or MMO. At this point the only thing I can figure is something is up with SE's server. What exactly, I don't know.)

You are saying here that Level3.net is the problem for you, yet in the next sentence you state that SE should be the one fixing it?

I hadn't had major lag issues, until the last patch was implemented. Which scares me as my main is whm.. because suddenly my FPS start freezing randomly and deathga starts to happen. It mainly has hit me during random parts of CT and once on Garuda X. I have most party/alliance effects off which usually helped ease the issue. 4 man dungeons, instances, fates seem ok otherwise.. but like I said, never happened before the last patch. I also play on PS3, but I don't blame my console, I've played MMO's on console for a long time without any qualms. Having ran a long stint with SE in FFXI and now ARR, it could be buggy, usually with one patch they fix a bunch of other things and then more issues arise elsewhere. So probably will smooth over next patch -_^;
