Problems with connection (R0) lag

[Suliana_Atavuli]

I've been having a similar problem.

I live in northern Vermont. A tracert to the server returns a * at the 7th hop, which shows as somewhere in Montreal. Ping is averaging somewhere in the 150-200ms range. When I do manage to connect to the server (Behemoth, specifically) I'm not able to keep a connection long - gameplay is very, very laggy and stutters a lot, and I get a LOT of 90000 errors - server kickoffs. Based on my location and the bit of research I did, my connection problem appears to be happening within the data center itself.

Having the exact same issues here on the Masamune Legacy Server.

Whilst I'm playing I can move around and cast/attack things fine and see other people moving about, But after a few minutes or so everything completely stops. I can still move and cast but nothing is received by the server. Eventually everything will come right, and speed forward rather rapidly.

For example: I was attacking a monster with "Stone" on Conjurer. When everything stops I can continue to cast maybe 4-5 times with no damage being done to the enemy. Likewise the enemy does no damage to me either. Once the "lag/latency" is over everything speeds forward and all 4-5 "Stone" spells that I cast inflict damage all at once on the enemy. At the same time all the enemies damage is inflicted on me.
It's quite an issue and when trying to be a healer its definitely not good. lol.

Sometimes when this "stopping" happens (more so then before) the game will quit with a 90000 error. This happened about 5 times during the run of Sastasha Seagrot. Luckily the people I was with were understanding and didn't throw me out. haha

When I was in the Sastasha Seagrot I noticed I could still send and receive messages to and from the party I was with in the chat window on the bottom left even though this "stopping/lag/latency" was happing which is extremely odd.

I am an Oceanic player living down in New Zealand

Update for 8/29: Maybe it was because I wasn't doing a dungeon, but I seemed to be doing okay today. I did a few Fates, and didn't seem to be lagging at all.

Obviously people are still having problems, but maybe it's being worked on as a side effect of whatever they're doing with the capacity issue. No idea. This all being said, if I decide to do a dungeon tomorrow, watch me lag like crazy and cause my party to wipe endlessly.

Bump for visibility.

Now is actually good, not so much lag. Eariler around 12pm to about 8 pm. It was a like a slide show

Bump.

I was doing fine until EA, but now my game is almost unplayable. The only time I have no trouble is in an inn room, so I think most of this (at least for me) is on the server side.

Hey everyone!

I live in France, playing on Ragnarok server, my ISP is FREE, and having exactly the same issue :
Every 3-5 minutes, lag spikes of 10-15s with everything frozen on screen.

my ping is excellent (120ms) and I got this problem only with FF14arr and only since EA.

Hope this is going to be fixed soon because I can only play DPS for now because of that :/

Good luck to everyone here !

I'm playing on PS3, wired connection. Beta phase 3/4 and early access were fine, I never had any lag problems. Now I'm having intermittent issues where I stop receiving data, my health drops from mobs I cant see on my enemy list, players take a long time to load etc.

I have created a quick video to show the lag issue I'm having. As it is hard to tell by words, This video will hopefully help show the problem in full.

I'm not very good at speaking...
It would be good to know if this is the same issue as every one else's.

Ah that's very good to know. I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.
