Seems like no one cares about the lag

[XxZeiferxX]

Square Enix - since Christmas until today 6th Jan. Are you even listening? 8PM Singapore time here. It's unplayable again. I have 10 days left on my subs, if this continues, Imma stop the game for awhile until it's fixed. No point sub more if I can't even play the 4 hours leisure time of my night after work.................what a waste of money.

Same. This starts at 10 PM Eastern and continues until roughly 1 AM every night - like literally we were mid-pull tonight and at 10 PM on the dot everyone started iceskating on my screen.

This is clearly a traffic shaping behavior NTT is engaging in on that node during west coast primetime. Square, you guys have gotta get in touch with them to get it resolved.

Bump. Same issue again tonight. Started around 9pm CST. Same node within NTT's network in San Jose.
The support ticket I have they stated that they have numerous reports of this and they are working on it. Take that as you will.

I come back here everyday, the lag is so bad.

[NevaehQuest]

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my lag... And my mouse... even my keyboard... The gcd I've lost... the ogcd I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you?

[Dregnos]

Having lag issues as well again, 7-9pm until midnight or 1am. East Coast USA.

[Zinzu]

Yep, same problems tonight.

[Jconix]

Well as far as updates are concerned.

Seems the ramp up starts 30 minutes after the usual 7:00 pm pst, but they come in very awkward intervals as my ping will return to normal for a good couple minutes and then spike back up. It's not a constant 2-3 hour all around ping spike as it was before.. so it's small marginal progress I suppose.

Platform? (Steam/Windows/PS4/PS5/Mac etc.)

WINDOWS 10

Have you tried using a wired or wireless connection?

WIRELESS (BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE, I MEAN INCLUDING TWITCH, JUST FFXIV'S MESSING UP)

Internet Service Provider:

TAIWAN MOBILE

Region/Location: (your actual region not in game)

TAIWAN

Separate Modem and Router or Hybrid?

ROUTER

Are you using a Firewall/Anti-virus solution? If so, which ones?

DEFAULT WINDOWS ONES

Does the issue only happen with specific characters or all characters or during a specific time or in a specific zone in the game? Please clarify.

I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT TIMING BECAUSE IT JUST HAPPENS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT (MORE LIKELY WHEN IN AREAS WITH MORE PLAYERS SUCH AS MOST MAJOR CITIES, IT SEEMS), IT WAS LIKE THIS WHEN MY MAIN WAS IN HYPERION BUT MOSTLY HAPPENED AT 3AM EST THEN

Server your characters are on:

EXCALIBUR

You have to have top of the line ISP, top of the line PC, servers that are located a block from where you live to get top notch gameplay!
