Bad lag again with NTT's NA server network

Good to know! Granted, I use it the same way you do and just turn it on when I start FFXIV and off when I'm done. Kinda fun to watch the ping and packet loss graphs jump when I do that.

Yeah and I also learned not to turn it on / off when I'm logged in because then it kicks me out and makes me wait a minute to get back in ������

But turning it on / off on the login screen / character selection screen seems fine.

Does WARP have split tunneling, as mentioned by lolnotacat above? I checked the link, but it doesn't seem to be specific.

My VPN provider (PIA) has this but I can't get it to work with FF14. Works fine with browsers or other apps though.

Edit: Not sure why I didn't think of this sooner.

So I tried to have FFXIV go though the VPN only using split tunneling and it didn't work. So I just tried the other way, I only assigned apps I want to bypass the VPN to the list, everything else goes though it. That works. Now I can browse to google search without getting an annoying "check all crosswalks" popup. Also I can use imgur because they seem to block a lot of the PIA IP's.

So my web browser of choice, Discord and whatever else I want I just add to the list to bypass. Browser is really the only needed one.

Unless the VPN restricts you from changing your own route table, you can change your routing table with a lot of vpns but this is no easy task for someone not familiar with routing. I have this working for me but I'm hesitant to try to explain as it could cause bigger issues if not well understood. I am not using Warp so I can't offer advice on that one.

Shortly after this started I contacted AT&T. They sent a tech out to my place, dude shrugged and said there wasn't anything he could do other than replace my gateway (which he did, and thankfully I wasn't charged). AT&T support followed up and basically said it wasn't their problem and that I needed to contact Square instead.

52 pages of forum thread with boatloads of data, likely quite a few support tickets sent in with even *more* data... and we're told to contact our ISPs.
Here's my daily bump of "Still broken without CF Warp turned on", I guess.



So much for hoping for a resolution before 6.4 drops. I was considering resubbing since I can play fine w/ Warp, but given the abysmal communication I'm honestly tempted to just leave my sub canceled and move on until we get an actual resolution. The new Guilty Gear Strive character is coming out this weekend and Street Fighter 6 is close as well. At least I can play those games without needing a VPN.

welp at least i can manage expectations now
only reason i've still been able to play the game last week is because i was already familiar with the content and was able to preposition to avoid damage despite the lag

not gonna bother trying to learn new content with this lag
least hype i've ever had for a patch

Why are so many raging at SE when it's NA garbage service providers and their infrastructure that is the problem?

Nevertheless, hopefully SE can make ATT pull their finger out and fix their garbage.

Because the issue is NTT. You can see this with all the trace routes provided. NTT is the data center contracted by Square Enix.

Another way to look at it is all of us experiencing the issue ONLY have this issue with FFXIV. This isn't an ATT issue, it's an NTT issue. And NTT isn't our customer, Squenix is. They have to get on NTT's butt about fixing it.

Why are so many raging at SE

Because communication on the issue has been basically non-existent. People are still finding this now 53-page thread who had no idea what was going on, because there hasn't been an official Lodestone post about it even though this has been going on for over a week.
