Sounds good. Let me know if the Realtek drivers help. Still haven't lagged on the Wutai server while my Selbina connection is fading intermittently :/

so odd i could communicate with my sis comp over linkshell and i could see it, while all the other action was frozen during my R0. I mean like 4-5 messages received during the r0 that makes no sense to me.

[Bluetaro]

Yeah, the fact that you can still use the chat while R0'ing doesn't make sense to me either.

I'm so glad i'm not the only one having this issue. My ISP is Cox as well. This doesn't happen until 9pm EST, after that it's pretty much goodbye to Green dot. I R0 every 5 seconds, i mean chat and stuff still goes by but i literally can't do anything else. Can't craft, fight, gather, it's pretty much unplayable.

Like others i didn't have this issue until after the patch.

Gonna throw in the towel for tonight too. Better luck tomorrow :[

it is absolutely atrocious that square is still having this problem. his is the same thing that caused me to quite ffxi -- random, incessant, unexplainable R0 errors.

square needs to hire away one of blizzard's network wizards and get him working on their protocol, because nothing short of an internet backbone malfunction keeps people from playing wow.

That likely was when they were getting attacked with a DDoS. Much in the same way PSN has had issues lately. I remember those days. It took them awhile to fix that. But somehow i doubt this is related to a DDoS.

I'm having the exact same issues, I get a few R0's during the day but as soon as it hits 9:00-10:00PM EST it gets unbearable, when it hits 1:00AM I pretty much have to call it quits, I just can't play at all. I freeze up from anything between 10 seconds to 3 minutes, when I come out of the huge spikes, everything I've missed just happens in 3 seconds really quickly, like you're fast forwarding and I usually come out dead, because I have been in Ifrit eating eruptions/plumes that didn't even appear on my screen. I know I shouldn't go in, but I keep hoping I won't get a spike for a battle =/ it sucks to have to tell your LS you just can't come with them and experience their first kill with them, but as it stands with my connection I am more of a burden to them and an MP sponge!

I've zoned into the Ifrit battle with 2 Ifrits waiting for me, I am standing up alive when I am dead, I have issues with not being able to put my wepaon away, Ifrit vanishes for me completely for half the fight, I've even experienced my tank and dps sat outside the ring just where you zone in for the entire fight on their chocobos, but there chocobos weren't actually there.

Saturday I had Cox come out to look at my line, they told me it was my modem and replaced it, 1 hour later I R0'd, called them back they set up an appointment for Monday, 2 technicians came, could see their was an issue with my line but didn't know what it was, so they connected this white box with loads of cables coming out of it to my modem to 'stabilize' it, and made another appointment with maintenance to check my pole and wires outside, they've been now, I still R0, and now I am waiting for a call from the Field Supervisor.

This is getting really annoying now, I've been it experiencing it since this patch, before then I ran flawlessly, with very very few dc's.

1) Operating system: Win7 64 bit

2) Antivirus program: Trend

3) Exact Error Message:
None, game freezes for a few seconds up to 3-4 minutes and r0 is displayed in corner.

4) What area were you in when the error occurred?
All over the world, where ever I am, it happens.

5) What were you doing when the error occurred?
Standing still, crafting, fighting, leves, anything I normally do.

6) Were you in a party at the time the error occurred?
Happens outside and inside parties (0-8 players)

7) Estimate number of characters that were near you at time of error?
0-100, happens in cities and in remote locations.

8) Were you able to log back into FFXIV after the error?
I never dc from this issue, but if I was to force quit, yes, I can get right back in, I load in with the red circle next to my name though and R0ing.

I hope this issue gets fixed soon, because as it stands I basically can't play in the evenings anymore, which gives me a sad ; ;
