thanks for your reply
its just lag, ppl staying for 1sec without moving and then they move instantly around.
in ultimate the feathers from Garuda porting around, or mounting lags

Platform: PC
the nature of the latency: absolut no problems, the big chaos lag in the past, and this now is the only time i got lags in around 5 years of ffxiv gameplay, latency is between 20 and 40ms on shiva
Type of connection: wired
Other programs running while the game is playing: just drivers for my controller and a browser
Everything you have tried to resolve the issue: restart Router, restart PC, ask other ppl if they have the same issue

yesterday in our raid all ppl had the issues, and this appeared after the last patches/hotfixes, before that it was all smoth without any problems

Hello affenmensch, Thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

The issue you are describing is most associated with interference with the game data. Most of the time, it results from certain security/privacy changes on Internet Explorer. Other times it occurs when an application that is running in the background is causing interference, such as Anti-virus software, firewalls, media players, web browsers, etc.

Please make sure all background applications (including anti-virus programs such as Norton, Kaspersky, Windows Defender, etc.) have been disabled and/or closed to minimize game interference.

Ensure that the latest version of Internet Explorer is installed on your PC (even if you don't use Internet Explorer), please do not use Edge as that is a different internet platform. Once Internet Explorer is up-to-date, please open the IE browser, open the "Tools", go to "Internet Options" and adjust the following settings:
Under the "General" tab, please delete ALL browser history.
Under the "Security" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or no higher than "Medium"
Under the "Privacy" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or to "Allow All Cookies"
Under the "Advanced" tab, please make sure that "Allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid" is CHECKED.
Make sure that all SSL and TLS (EXCEPT SSL 3.0) are CHECKED.
[SSL 3.0 should be UNCHECKED]
Hit "Apply" to save the settings, and then "OK, to close the Internet Options menu.
Right-Click on the FFXIV launcher icon and select "Properties"
Go to the "Compatibility" tab, and change the compatibility mode to "Windows 7"
Hit "Apply", then "OK" to save the changes.
Please RESTART your PC now.


Once your PC has been restarted, Right-Click the FFXIV launcher icon once more and select "Run as Administrator"

If the suggestions provided above do not resolve the issue, then there is a communication error.
Check the following Port Ranges on your router/modem to ensure that the following Port Ranges have been opened/forwarded/triggered:
▼TCP
54992 through 54994,
55006 through 55007,
55021 through 55040

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV! Hope to see you online.

Hey Ty again for your answer
its clearly not a Problem on my side, game was running fine before the hotfixes, and i think you know that we had the big 40+ pages thread about the chaos lags some while ago
its just the same as before, and need to be fixed on gameserver side again like it was a while ago.
if this would be a Problem on my side, i would not get infos from other players that they get the same lags since some patches/hotfixes ago.
would be nice if you can forward this to someone who does the server side stuff and can look into it, maybe
ty for your time to help

I'm having the same problem (Chaos Datacenter). The lag started back in last November (2017!), after some sort of network maintenance Square Enix did.

After the Data Center crash a few months ago it got fixed, everything was smooth for some time but it came back a few weeks ago, about the time when the Companion App was released.

Jup, rarely but it does for me too. Doing eureka fine with full internet and suddenly everything stops moving only to jump a few sec afterwards. Or spells not triggering or not reaching the targed. All that stuff we just know too well...
