Thread: Game has become unplayable due to latency since the 18th

Hello,

Writing here as a last resort before giving up.

I play on PS4 and had played this game for 6 weeks without one issue of latency. Ever since around the 18th this game has become very close to unplayable. Progressing in Level 50 content is impossible. Every minute, I will freeze for 5-10 seconds, and then all at once everything catches back up. This has resulted in countless deaths, and all other kind of frustrations. I can't interact with things for 5-10 seconds. Have to keep trying over. I've managed to use a limit break 3 times on my screen. All of my GCD moves will be used on my end and the timer resets but they don't get applied. Forget doing my Mudras. The game has become an absolute nightmare to load up.

I have 50 mbps download speeds and 18 mbps upload speeds. I can connect to share play on the PS4 and play FFXIV on a PS4 across the country lag free. I can't run an extra program as i've read suggested since I am on PS4 and I don't think I should be required to.

Is there anything that can be done before I have to cut my losses and stop paying for a game that is virtually unplayable?

Thank you
