Constant lag and disconnects

[Bloodb]

Same problem. Very recent.

COX Communications, Oklahoma

About a half a second delay to everything.

It was never like this before.

No Router my computer goes straight to my modem.

The problem is at the first hop. Bad network cable? Malfunctioning internal interface on the modem? Something wrong with your computers network stack? I'd start there.

Had to cut out a lot for the char maximum

I love this game, but it's become almost unplayable the past few months. I disconnect in Dungeons almost religiously, and the lag outside is pretty noticeable as well. I did everything that SE tech support suggested, tweaking IE and such, but to no avail. Only started happening around the release of SB sadly. But it's to the point I'm wanting to walk away. I can't enjoy the game if I'm constantly fearing my WHM is gonna drop and get my party wiped EVERY time I'm in a dungeon :-(

Not playing in NA, but after 4.1 my boyfriend and I kept getting utterly random dcs only in XIV, and it got worse before Xmas.

After trying all the voodoo we could with the router, we bit the bullet and bought a pretty expensive Asus router, and used our old router as a modem. The dcs stopped after that.

Our theory is that SE changed how the game sends packets and our old router was ill-equipped to handle it.

If you got spare cash, this is worth trying. Good luck.
