Problems with connection (R0) lag

[Niko_Kishiko]

I am also having this where the game freezes then speeds up real fast then freezes then speeds up over and over again. No help from ISP. Reset modem, turned down graphics even though I can play with them a lot higher, many game logouts and restarts. I even tried hooking up a different modem.

Nothing I do is helping. This just started happening in the last few days for me.

Since the maintenance done on Thursday I've had lag spikes for 2-3 seconds.
I've contacted my ISP to take see if there are any problems/package loss.
Next to that I ran checks on my computer to see if there is anything not working correctly there.

ISP: Ziggo
Speed: 160Mb/s cable
Ping in their network: 7
Ping ARR server: 90
Latency in game: 110-150

From what they saw there where no problems from me to the server.
There is no down load throttling either or signal jam.

In other words the problem is SE their servers in my case.
From my side/ISP side it isn't fixable.

I really hope SE is looking into this. It's to the point where any progression I'd like to make with friends is largely just a roll of the dice with abilities like "Plumes" on Titan if they are used/coincide with the very frequent 1-2 second heavy desyncs/packet loss or worse the less frequent 5-10 sec drops. If SE isn't actively communicating and working on solutions in regards to this subject which is affecting large masses of their game population, then I don't see a purpose for me subbing to the game, as Raid PvE Progression with friends was my reason for wanting to pick up the game.

I play from Southern California, ISP provider is Cox. I do not have any issues with any other games. Cox does not throttle bandwidth; I've run multiple tests to ensure this.

5-10 seconds of no updates to client every few minutes; frequent 1-2 second delays with desync.

This leads to really odd things happening: dot timers will literally change amount of seconds up and down; will use an on GCD ability and and off GCD abilty without the game giving me a clue that either have registered till a second later when they both register at the same time along with other players abilites used within the 1-2 second frequent desyncs; I've had Titan's plumes spawn on everyone, then ~.75 seconds later, a seperate plume spawns under me; once I competely derped a Plume and accidently used Wind bite (locking my movement into that direction for the animation) which put me back clearly into the Plume (after already being out) yet I didn't get hit (probably the 1-2 sec random packet loss/desync, client not being able to update/communicate with server that I messed up and was actually back in the Plume); there are Plumes that I tested where I would never stop running straight (in anticipation) of the Plumes being spawned and still get hit while clearly 5 feet outside of the Plume.


This is also effecting another member of our guild who has the same experience with frequent 1-2 scond spikes and occasional 5-10 second cuts, he is also using Cox Communications as a provider.

Was doing a lot better until after maintenance tonight. The Duty Finder is brutal.

Experiencing same thing as well. Rubber-band issues and R0 every single day playing.

Past 3 days after about 8-9PM EST I've experienced the same thing. When it's happening: every 30-60 seconds or so lag spike = DCing icon then its back 5 seconds later

Having this issue as well, both yesterday night and today. As mentioned, it appears to get much worse in instances. I attempted to run Wanderer's Palace today, and was very frequently experiencing freezes followed by everything fast forwarding to catch up. I had zero problems during the day, it only seems to happen at night around 8-10pm EST.

I'm on Behemoth. Location is Ohio, provider is Cincinnati Bell.

I hope this can get fixed soon, I want to be able to run instances and not bring my party down because of something I personally cannot control.

Thanks, and keep up the hard work SE!

I have this issue as well, on Behemoth. Lag spikes where nothing happens than it all catches up. I use Comcast and had a tech out and he found nothing so tonight I fired up SWTOR and GW2 and played both tp test it and had no issues in either game, just FFXIV
