I have the same problem, copy pasta from general discussion


Recently, around the same time that Amdapor Keep queues have reached the 30+ minute mark for simply reserving the instance I have noticed insane rubber banding in most duty instances where my 'receiving' becomes 0 and everything stops. Then after an indefinite amount of time, everything fast forwards to 'catch-up' with what happened during the receiving 0 period. This is in addition to 90000 errors when the receiving 0 persists for too long.

My question is, is there anything I can do about this? Is it a problem on my end? Square's? 95% of the time my game experience is flawless, but trying to tank when you can't see what is going on is impossible in hard mode instances. Try kiting Garuda when you're the only thing you can see moving.

I tried buying a new router to see if that was the issue, but no change. I'm able to use services like PSN, XBL, internet browsing, etc. all without issue. The problem seems contained to FF XIV. I know there are other threads in the technical support thread that are discussing this issue, but there seem to be conflicting reports as to what cause the 'rubber banding' problem.
