FFXIV disconnect only in POTD

[Dethiroke]

So my friend is having a strange problem and I am not sure what could be causing it. When we run Palace of the dead he gets constantly DC'd while moving but never when just standing still, and he won't get DC'd when he caps his FPS at 32, but still notices slight rubberbanding. This only ever happens in FFXIV, he plays games like wow but there is no rubber banding of him or other players in it.

I really have no idea what could be causing it at this point as we play from the same location and the same internet, I have none of these problems with ffxiv. We also just built his PC, its a i5 6600k, 1070 gtx, with a 1080p 144hz monitor , 16gb ram.

Should note the rubberbanding and other players "rocketing forward" also occurs outside of potd, but only disconnects happen in there.

just posting here that I'm getting the same issues like this also, but I have had them randomly happen in wolves den, potd, frontlines, etc. same thing going on with slight rubberbanding (some players moving look to be moving, stop and continue moving and so on.)

I've got 120-125mbps download and 15-25mbps upload, provider is comcast. Midwest.

Also to add.. he can run palace of the dead solo without getting Disconnected.. anymore than himself tho he gets instalty dc'd almost upon moving.

Bump this Thread. Odin - Server, from the United Kingdom. It literally started after the 1 day patch on the 16th after that Palace of The Dead[PoTD] AND any instances will disconnect me. Walking in instances seeing players rubber-banding, spells not fully registering/seeing completion then disconnecting spontaneously. Outside of Instances and PoTD in the quarymill I literally see people rubber-banding every 5-10 seconds, they would freeze then jolt forwards or backwards after 1-3 seconds of standing still, also in the world doing fates there is still lag seeing moves/spells completed from my character or the mob with the freezes I mentioned with people standing still but also for mobs. My friend in the area is completely fine and so is my Free Company. Annoying that no one from SE has address or MENTIONED this problem anywhere! Also the errors I presume we all are getting are 90k especially the 6's and 2's. I've spent 2 days searching for the solution and nothing, even the SE team seems to be in the dark when it comes to this matter. I especially love how this happened AFTER the 1 day Maintenance update and Patch 4.0 was hit; However it's very strange how it's a bunch of people and not most. I think at this point all we want to do is play the game.
Sorry for the rant but seeing a company addressing congestion and not this triggers me. As sad as it sounds most likely we'll have to waste our money on the game and wait until a patch/maintenance comes in and fixes this issue (low probability for speed since all SE is posting is congestion and PvP issues)

Yeah I mean, we have tried new wifi stick , playing in dx9, low settings, different internet connection, drivers updates, nothing seems to be fixing it. Even did a fresh install on his pc still nothing. Its pretty much the exact same issue you are describing Merza. It does it for mobs and players ever 5-10 seconds. We however did run the first dungeon in HW's at 51 without him getting disconnected. but palace its always disconnect, unless he stands perfectly still or takes baby steps to complete the whole thing.

Well today seems better but I'm not having issues YET; Here is a related post by SE on the matter, pretty sure this is it since I'm not getting issues at the moment - http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...6e2d2454433291

Personally I've noticed it happens only when I have my chat set constantly on /p instead of the "Say" chat
But I could be wrong :s
