Input lag in duties

[Zanthos]

Since the update yesterday there seems to be periods, when in a duty, I cannot use any weaponskills while mashing the button for it. It will last for a few seconds, then it will trigger and then no response again. Seems to be affecting weapon skills primarily. Abilities trigger normally. Also, outside of a duty everything works fine on a striking dummy, issue is only within duties: the new dungeon, solo instance and new trial. Help!

Greetings fellow Eorzean,

We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing with packet loss issues. Please provide the following information:

- Platform (Windows, Mac, Playstation 4 or 5, etc)
- Are you using a wired or wireless connection?
- Do you have any firewalls or anti-virus software installed on the machine if are using a Mac or Windows PC? If so, which ones do you have installed?
- Internet Service Provider
- Location/Region you are in (Not in game, your actual location)
- Does any specific error message/code occur when the issue happens?
- Does the issue only happen with one specific character or a certain time frame? Please clarify.

We look forward to your reply back.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!

Playstation 5

Wireless connection, around 21 Mbps download, 8 Mbps upload

Verizon Fios internet

North America, East Coast

No error codes, however I used the mouse cursor and hovered over my connection status in game and I seem to fluctuate around 500 sending while traveling, but as soon as I enter combat via open world or duty finder, the sending plummets straight to 0 and ranges from 0-100 the entire time. When I exit combat, it goes back to around 500 again, receiving remained pretty consistent.

I only use one main character, happens across multiple jobs and I've been playing around 6pm-11pm. I've restarted the PlayStation-5, power cycled the modem, but to no avail. First time this has happened in the 9 years I've been playing.

Been having this same issue since the patch, only in instanced duties
- Windows
- Wired
- Windows Defender and Malwarebytes
- Telenor
- Sweden, Europe
- No specific error codes or messages
- Only tested on my main so cant say if its the same across my alts, no specific timeframe.
Usually starts out okay on each pull but as the fight goes on weaponskill "drifting" becomes progressively worse and at some times i even dc for a few seconds, ill note that my partner is playing on the same connection without any issues and i've tried swapping ethernet cables, editing my router settings and reinstalled the game but nothing has worked.
Never had this issue prior to this patch.

Replying to this as i've since then been playing on one of my alts and i can confirm that for me this issue only happens on my main character, i can play on my alt around the same hours and in the same type of instanced content without any clipping or short disconnects on my alt but the moment i swap to my main it comes back, i have no idea what causes this issue.
Edit: i should specify that both my characters are on the same data center and the same server
