Disconnect While Crafting

[Katlyna]

I've posted on this multiple times with solutions which would not have been exploitable. I've had some rough losses myself and have probably lost more over time than most (since I had notable disconnection problems). The best I can do is recommend to check out Mithrie's guide on disconnections. Below is what I wrote up for my FC members recently if anyone else finds it useful.

Hi Everyone. We all get disconnected from FFXIV sometimes. But some of us get kicked more than others. This guide applies to people who get disconnected anywhere from a few times a day to a few times a week. Most specifically when you get disconnected and your web browser is still working (and your internet is fine)

I spent quite a bit of time debugging the problem last year monitoring and logging my own disconnections, and what I found is there is an L3 problem between Canada and northern North Carolina. With this said, L3 problems can and will affect multiple people. In this case the crux of the issue is that the L3 in that area drops some packets every once in a while, not many but just a few for a second here or there.

The problem is games like FFXIV tolerate VERY VERY few missing packets or pauses in the network communication. The fix is to tell your operating system to send out smaller packets. Leatrix Latency Fix and the TcpAckFrequency registery changes are the best at doing this. I've linked some videos and instructions below for these changes. I applied both of these to my system roughly a year ago and had an immediate drop of 95% of my disconnections. I virtually never get disconnected any more. Let me know if you have any questions!
