Server Stability

[Zeno-Ira]

very slow login screen

[Nomski]

From Ireland so I know the feeling Aevril.

@Elexia: Sorry but that made me chuckle a bit, as I said nothing wrong with my connection, it's perfect, I monitor my network constantly. I used to work for an ISP so I'm not stabbing wildly in the dark with sniffing out possible problems on my end. It's a SE issue.

Again from the UK and i'm at the point that I can't even login because it's too slow. No severe weather going on or anything and my connection to anything else is absolutely fine...

[Elexia]

So it's likely a routing issue from EU to SE's servers since yeah I'm not seeing that many people in my shells disconnecting atm, but most are JP/NA/Canada.

We don't have that many NA members in our LS, but they seem to have just as much connection issues than we EU people do.

I have had these same exact issues. I've never had these problems. Then it started with one DC, as time went by, a couple months, I was getting DCed every few minutes.

I know this may a shitty solution for some but I saw one recommendation, which was to do a clean install of not FF but windows itself.

I was having issues on my laptop an with my OCD I wanted to get a clean install anyway. This completely fixed my problem. Since the install about a week ago, I have had FF on 24/7 and not one DC.

Just a thought if anyone wants to keep it in mind. It worked for me so just letting people know.

I'm going to chime in here, except that I live in the midwest US. Also, I have had absolutely no connection problems until this weekend. I'm willing to chalk it up to the tropical storms on the east coast, but it's worth mentioning that there does seem to be some sort of systemic problem going on recently with the connection to the FFXIV servers.

Hi Guys!

Wow, sorry for all the troubles you are having staying connected. I have checked my emails and I really don't see any announcements coming from the home office. It does seem that more EU customers are facing this than the NA, so I will poke my co-workers in London and let them know of the troubles.

I know that this is no excuse, but as someone pointed out, there are some server weather going on over here in addition to some forest fires in the mid-west, so that could be causing some issues as well.

Again, I am sorry you cannot login and enjoy the game. I will leave this thread in General Discuss, for the time being, but it may be moved to technical in the future.

Thank you.

Ah nice to know that this is getting some attention. I realize that this appears to happen to the EU players more than the NA players, but I hope that you guys look at the NA players as well.

My sis and I play FFXIV and we've been getting D/C and server errors, I've lost count of how many allowances I've used to retrying leaves. =_=;

I don't think it's our internet but any information to as to why this keeps happening would be helpful.

NA player here.

FYI, I am getting the same problems and am in NA. I can say that the disconnections happen more frequently depending on what I'm doing. I can fish at Bald Knoll for hours without getting disconnected, but every other run in AV and CC will get me a DC, and I have found myself getting DC at very specific parts of certain maps. I have to decline raids from my LS's now because of the DC problems. I want my Darklight! T_T
