Problems with connection (R0) lag

[edgefusion]

Just want to add I'm also on Sky in the UK and experiencing the same crippling lag as everyone. Instances are unplayable, I really hope it gets sorted out ASAP.

quoted from the other thread on this to try help people in the UK using Sky/BT.

Just tested Pingzapper and it sorted out the problem. However, I'd prefer that I didn't have to use it when I didn't need to before this.

Also having this problem - UK, Sky Broadband.

Really need to get a response from one of the Devs. No point playing just now.

I'm not sure if this this is a related issue, but during certain boss fights/events I'll have a 15-20 second frame where I can move my character around, but skills are unresponsive, sound cuts out, and spell effects and ground AoEs don't appear. After the 15-20 seconds everything sort of "catches up" and seems to run like normal.

Only problem is the Ash fight in Haukke Manor HM. That'll have all the above issues and then crash to desktop with a "Unexpected error (2)(17)" message.

None of the following helped:
-Updating drivers
-Replacing 4 GB of RAM with 8 GB of RAM
-Lowering settings and resolution to the minimum

I don't appear to have this issue with any of the old content, it only happens during the new hardmode dungeons and Crystal Tower.

More tech savy people, correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe thats a symptom of packet loss somewhere between your computer and the ff14 servers.

Thank you for the response. That is something I was considering could be the issue. Is there anything I could do to test or remedy the issue? Would my router cause this?

same here, also with sky and having these problems

Know this doesn't help to resolve the issue but wanted to add that my partner and I are both UK Sky players, once again rubber-banding-like problems since Tuesday evening. Hoping with the sheer amount of people reporting the same problem someone's noticed and is looking into this. Had to stop playing because even walking around Limsa is proving impossible!

[Ayanne]

Also in the UK on Sky Unlimited broadband (not fiber). Hideous lag spikes, rubber banding like crazy, damage to mobs not registering for a few seconds. Even things like using my chocobo whistle are proving difficult. I have emailed Sky and they have replied saying that there is no fault their end, my line is fully operational and working at max speed. I have no problems anywhere else on the internet, just with this game.

Been in touch with SE and they are saying that the chances are it's the ISP not prioritising traffic from FFXIV's servers. They said "We will escalate the issue to be looked into and you can post about the issue on the forums"

Someone mentioned this had happened just after beta for Japanese players but it was fixed very quickly. Hopefully we get the same.
