Lag in Instances + Endless "loading" screens when transitioning to a new area

[MelanyKoura]

I've been experiencing the same problems through a number of dungeon runs. Today was at its worst, with Medica and Medica II not working for at least one casting of the spell. Stoneskin would get dropped and I'd have to cast it at least twice to get the actual effect. Sometimes I'd even cast Cure after that and have it canceled, try again, and get canceled a second time. During fights where I had to consume Morbol Fruit in Aurum Vale, when I tried to activate the fruit, I was stuck there for up to 5 seconds before the game let me even try to eat them. During this time combat was still going on and everyone's HP was fluctuating. This "lag" was even present when I was even running Wanderer's Palace with friends. Trying to activate switches caused me to get stuck there, waiting for the Yes/No prompt, and even longer to even see the progress bar. Then, during the second fight I started to cast Holy to help take care of the adds. I had to have cast Holy about 10 times during that fight and not only was my MP nearly full, but some of the adds weren't even being hurt by my spell, while others took the hits and died. That's when I REALLY noticed this problem. Until this gets fixed, I'm not touching dungeons.

Lag in every instance zone since 2.2 was released. Other threads on it too. Only job that can play normal is BRD since we can move while using our abilities. Poor healers having a very rough time. Spell interrupts over and over for no reason.

Just tried to run Copperbell Mines(Hard), my tank was an FC mate and I was spam healing but only two actually healed him. My heals keep getting randomly interrupted and it is extremely annoying. I had no problems with the Guildhest servers so far just the dungeon servers.

I have no lag outside of instances. I am a new Paladin and I am trying to gear up to do the new dungeons so I can get Darklight gear. I have tried to run Copperbell Mines Hardmode 2-3 times and everyone is skipping around complaining about lag. Our combos are being cut off and the healer was spam healing, but only ended up landing 2 heals on me the entire fight. Everyone also has been getting disconnect symbols above their head. This is unacceptable, they want people to enjoy the new dungeons and content, but as it stands now you arent even capable of doing that with how bad the lag is. This needs to be addressed and fixed so I can gear up and enjoy the new dungeons.

I'm in the USA (Texas), and play with a buddy from Canada, and we're both having extreme lag / skill interruptions. People warping all over the place, but the real annoyance are the constant "INTERRUPTED" on skills accompanied by "Cannot execute at this time" messages.

Took all of these screenshots today as evidence:

This needs to be fixed - ASAP. Lots of people I grouped with today were complaining about this issue, mostly casters with long spell cast times (like myself), but it probably effects everyone to a degree. I had some people in my FC just give up doing dungeons today because the lag/skill interruptions are so bad.

I watched Transpose take 6+ seconds to switch from Astral Fire to Umbral Ice (several times) after casting, while sitting there being completely useless with little to no mana. I've had the same skill get interrupted SIX times in a row.

Unacceptable.

FYI, me and my friend are on the Leviathan server.

I also found this thread on GameFAQs mentioning the same issue: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/67805...eborn/68898091

Same here, extreme Lags in every Dungeon this Morning. (playing in Europe on Server -Shiva- )

+1 plus more..

Instances lagging severely. Especially during interactions with items/shortcuts/etc. Constant spell interrupts when there should not be. Also earlier I had the same problem while coming in and out of Ifrit-Egi ARC quest fight. A few times today it happened while trying to teleport as well. Would lag on animation and then not teleport me at all. Had to log to fix.

Similar issues are being had on Leviathan. My current statistics show that I am Sending around 20-30ms and receiving 5000-6000ms. Ran ping and speeds tests on my end and both returned well within their normal boundaries. As with Acquitor, the majority of the problems seem to come in the instanced content. My computer rig is also well above spec for the game, and I have party members and FC mates reporting their own troubles while trying to partake in dungeons.

i am on leviathan as well while over the last 12 hrs i would say lag has been getting progressivly worse in instances though i dont really know if its so much the new patch as squares problem with not having the server quality they should to actually host a mmo remember when you couldnt get in ak cause everyone was running it then they changed wp rewards to lessen the burden everyone is hitting the servers for coil leviathan and the new dungs so think its just over loaded just like there is lag now in alot of the starting areas with how many people are now running fates over and over so the starting areas have a ton of traffic and it will prob be this way for least a month or so unless they are expanded on

That thread looks familiar.

I can play just fine on the world (Shiva) but once I get into an instance all hell breaks loose.
I can’t even do a proper combination on my Paladin as of right now. People are teleporting all over the place and the healers seem to have it worst.
I had no problems with Coil and Trials, at least not yesterday until I logged out. However today I can’t play a dungeon instance without horrible lag that makes outright unplayable at times or at the very least unenjoyable.
It is certainly not my connection. I did not change anything and I was fine before 2.2 not to mention I’m on a 100mbit connection.
