Sudden Lag & Packet Loss

[FlatLined]

Same thing has been happening to me. Everything runs perfectly in the morning and afternoon but once it hits around 5pm to 6pm PST the game starts to lag. I live in South Cali well.
My ISP is Verizon.

Heeey! Let's keep this train rolling, also in SoCal, Frontier is the ISP. Speed test says down and up is good, and ping is good. Even tried the traceroute from Square themselves and that seemed to work well. I'm on PC too, dunno if people mentioned what platform they play on.

Maybe I'll do the hud/settings reset mentioned a few posts ago and see if that does anything?

Same here, Frontier SoCal.
Relieved to know its not my hardware. Still annoying af, though.

Yeah it literally makes the game unplayable. Was trying to do the new EX on GNB and it was literally a joke. Ppl teleporting all over the place, skills not connecting, AOEs not showing, the whole shebang. It is always around peak hrs too, because I logged in earlier and it was perfectly fine.

Keeping this thread active. Be sure to submit your tickets as well! Get this to Square Enix's attention!

I too also use Frontier 1GB... ping and all that is normal, just the spaz of random packet loss during peak hours.

Frontier "answered" my chat but didn't respond to anything.

Anyways. While route tracing I'm getting problems communicating with frontier right off the bat.

I'm gonna try changing my DNS and resetting my modem.

You guys can try it out if you want. On windows open cmd and type in "tracert 204.2.229.10" (without the quotes)

My ping to the server is usually 15ms right now its averaging 30ms.

trace route shows Request Timed Out at 2, 6, 7, 9, 13 lol

Are there any updates you can share?

Just adding to the pile. Reporting the same thing. Southern California, Frontier, extreme packet loss anywhere between 5 - 11 PM, happening since Wednesday.

Speedtest results come back normal, pinging to XIV's IP results in varying packet loss percentages, restarting router/PC/game has done nothing.

I submitted a ticket to SE as well. Hoping that sheer numbers will get them to do something sooner rather than later.
