Latency/Connection Issues Since the Launch of the EU Data Center

[Moonraker]

ISP: Orange

Country: France

See previous posts for full details & comments. Issue ongoing at peak times.

Conducted line test via ISP shows no issue with my connection.

our diagnosis
we have not detected an anomaly on the Orange network

Today's Pingplotter 30 minute sample data. Still showing 10%+ packet loss from hop 9 KDDI host network through to world server. Also some issue again at hop 6 for level3-3.GW.opentransit.net.

This evening and no packet loss at all and little lag for me so looking good currently. Maybe slightly different route in Frankfurt? Still some jitter on hop 6 which seems typical at peak times.

Do you think the problem it is solved ?

Thx so much for your info!

I must say I also see much improvement in connection, no packet loss since yesterday but the ping jumped from 60 to 160

Similar to what we had before the server switch. Not that bad, if you ask me.

Can Orange ISP users confirm if the lag has gone or not? Either way, I'm not coming back until there's an official post about the problem being dealt with and the reason the problem came up.

Orange-Poland here. For me game is back to the state as it used to be,no more 1-5 sec freeze nor delays. It's like it was before moving data center.

I took a break from the game in Septemer and I came back last week. The game was not uninstalled, it was still on my SSD and I left it alone, because I knew, I was going to return to it in 2 months time. Now from what I can understand, the only difference with the Chaos Server is that its placed on a EU Datacenter, right?

Since comming back, I have experienced (I am playing on the PC):

1. When clicking the FFXIV icon, the launcher shows up, but the empty places where you need to type in your Username and Password, does not show up as fast, as it used to be. There is a lag of a min or more.

2. Whenever I talk to a NPC, it takes a min or two before I see a conversation bubble or a response from them. This means when I want to enter the my room, I need to wait few min, before it gives me the "Do you want to enter" option. The same is also for Leve NPC, Barber NPC etc.

3. Alot of ingame lag, whenever I am fighting and a telegraph is under me, I run out the instant it is cast, yet I am damaged. This has always happend, but only if I stay in the telepgraph untill the final second. Since I left the moment it was cast, the only conclussion that I can find is, that there is a lag.

Game is unplayable for me, I have sadly already paid for a month subscription and I am still stuck with this issue. I do not know where this issue is comming from. To be sure that this isnt on my end, I have installed, TERA Online, Guild Wars 2, WildStar Online, Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Elders Scrolls Online. With none of those games, have I experienced any issues, which inturn confirms my hunch that this is something on SE end.
