Severe lag issue

[Wailynn]

The best way i can describe this is that ill be perfectly fine for a little while then out of nowhere people will start stuttering on the map and ill have alot of lag on skills and actions etc. i thought it was my wifi but my girlfriend who plays right next to me is perfectly fine.

I’m getting this as well, people rubber banding randomly. I heard it was due to high traffic on the servers and would stabilise a week or two after release. Not sure if that’s correct or not

Ah glad it's not just me, I always have to relog to fix it but it's only temporary.

I'm also on leviathan which is a higher pop server so that makes sense

I have seen posts about this on reddit and on here so it’s not just a few people. I guess the servers are just struggling under the pressure seeing as more and more people are playing compared to last expansion

I am also having this issue. I was able to play the first couple of days of early access with no issues whatsoever, but now I have severe rubberbanding.

I’ve tried everything to fix it but after speaking to an engineer from my ISP we have isolated it to a server side issue.

Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

There maybe issues connecting to the servers as many of them are still congestion. Due to the high volumes of people signing on and accessing the game,you may experience things such as lag or disconnection. If anyone is using wifi, please connect directly to the router.

Just here to say: youre not alone. From Ragnarok here o/

Since the shb-launch i got very iregular lag issues up to 12 seconds and timeouts.
Using the same connection as my gf where everything works fine.
Did pingtests to several servers and was monitoring in the past few days.
No clues until some well-timed traces that showed the lags resolve somwere inbetween the data centers network.

*shrug* we'll stand it through, hope you can enjoy the game anyway
