Unusual Lag Spikes?

[RiceisNice]

Title. I thought it might be due to famfrit recovering from a server downage, but me and a handful of other people are experiencing excessive lag when we otherwise normally do not.

Half our raid group is currently getting lag spikes on Excalibur.

[Suirieko]

Yep. Been doing Alexander Savage 1, and all of us have been experiencing some serious lag spikes.

[DragonSlayer45]

Had some bad lag spikes earlier on Cactuar. Thought it might just have been my internet.

Been spiking here on Ultros, rather sudden before disappearing again for a while.

Are you sure that is the IP you are now using? I don't mean looking it up at ARR Status either---those haven't been entirely accurate for well over a year now. Have you looked up what IP you are using when fully logged into the game (with something like resmon or netstat)?

Reason I ask is we have seen a lot of people got switched to IP's above 100 when they broke out the new EU location. Those older lower IP's may not be actually hosting world services now.

Edit: Looks like 199.91.189.39 may not be running world service anymore. It is still responding to pings when things are down for the patch--should be timing out when the worlds are taken down. Did catch a hop in the Newark area that is going AWOL atm though when pinging around just now. So, looks like more of the usual infrastructure crud we've wrangled with for nigh on 20 years now.

Nope that is indeed the Famfrit server IP. Also I'm pinging again right now as well as in game. Currently no issues.

I've had issues with lag the past day or so, but it comes and goes. I haven't heard anyone else on my server have issues though.

Edit: Yeah, I'm Comcast as well, and the lag seems to be getting worse today.

Just had a Thordan farm fail and break up cause both of the healers and the monk kept having 3-4s lag spikes.
