Thread: Lag since patch 7.05

Mine was still bad, question: are your packet drops only peak time? So was your connection fine during the day?

I do experience the same thing since 7.05. I'm on Garuda server, can't really play the game that much because of that constant lag and DC. I tried to play other video game, and it runs smoothly. So I think there's problem with the server, my friend sometimes get those lag, but not as often as I am. on rare occasion the lag is low and bearable, but most of the time, I can only see other player teleporting and I cannot handle mechanics and died a lot...

Hello, I'm getting the same issue. I play on Tonberry Elemental from Singapore.

I have been lagging for more than a couple of weeks... maybe even from Dawntrail release. It usually happens in the evenings, between 8 to 10pm SGT. But I did get it in the afternoons during this weekend.

Something I just tried was to connect to Materia. I surprisingly do not get lag there. :O

Have you folks also tried to submit a traceroute via this page?

I fixed my issues my swapping ISPs today.

Aussie broadbabd do some weird routing and don't directly peer to akermai which SE are behind.

You can see they go to melb via there backbone and then have to switch to an equinix internet exchange before getting on akermai.

What isp doesnt peer directly with akermai? Like most of the internet is behind them lol.

I bet it something like it goes via equinix in melbourne but the return traffic get switched to another internet exchange in tyo to get back to aussie.

Playing at peak times just now, I'm getting intermittent packet loss again <_< but it's better than before. I check the tracert again and this time the Tata and Concave servers are gone?? Yet when I ping Elemental it shows up as just fine with no packet loss, though sometimes the ping jumps from 95 to 130.

i was told to port forward by the support team but I'm still getting packet loss. I told them and they told me to reinstall my game lol. why hasn't SE acknowledged this issue? I can't do any content, its unplayable.

i told my ISP about the packet loss and they said that they fixed the packet loss and rto

now my ping is increased by 50ms but stable LMAO
