Regarding ingame server lag serious issues

[ryan92084]

I would highly suggest using a program like winmtr http://winmtr.net/ to run a tracert for a bit to see the where the it is being dropped. You can then just let it run for a bit and output the text into a codebox here like

as you can see my problem begins in California and continues on to France and right into the main servers in Canada.

Since all of the NA servers link me through the California hosting service first I have the same problem regardless of the server

Mine is .31 and lagging

I'm in contact with the middleman

also sent them the link to this thread so they can see the problem

I'LL MAKE THIS FIXED FOR YOU ALL!

What do you mean, contact with the middleman?

[Whippet]

What do you mean, contact with the middleman?

Found the middle man found his number, called them and explain the whole situation, they asked me SS and all, and they will have a conference with SE and their employes surely tomorrow to talk about this issue

Cuz Middleman didnt seem to know about the problem

Tell them that if it takes them 4 days to download their pr0n, they're obviously doing it wrong >_>

Sillyness aside; If SE sees this I hope they look into those specific IPs as well as contact the ISP in question.

lol really you called them?

C'est bien ca

Funny part is my friend who can't play at all due to lag, i went to his house on saturday for a lil lan party and we both played on his connection, Zero lag, zero D/C. Zero lag spikes.

Since monday tho, he can't log on for more than 10 mins and even then it's all messed up. So something obviously broke or changed on monday.

So I hope Ormuco/SE will throw some weight around tomorow to get stuff fixed.
and if no hardware is borken anywhere, i hope SE will fix the server issue.

I tried forwarding 54992 to 55551, no change.

I'm currently in Japan (Plala/NTT/200meg fiber) and connecting to a US server (Cactuar).

Some interesting things I've noted:
1. The login servers seem to be only in Japan (124.150.158.117, 124.150.157.190, 124.150.157.126). Regardless of whether I connect directly from here or VPN from the states it's the same.

2. 199.91.189.24 is unplayable. Constant lag spikes, disconnects.

3. Used a VPN to put me in California and connect to 199.91.189.74. Game works no problem now.

4. Disconnected VPN, and connected to Cactuar again. Was put back on 199.97.189.24. Back to same problems as before.


Some conclusions I got from this...
1. Certain servers - not to be confused with worlds - are having serious issues.
2. When you first login from a region it assigns you a specific server and has memory of that.
3.When you login from a different region is assigns you a new server.
4. I have several friends locally who also play on Cactuar. Some are fine and some have the exact same issue. I haven't had the ability to confirm, but there's a good chance that there's several possible servers per region, and only some are having issues.

I am using the exact same plala service as you do.
Could you tell me what VPN client you used to bypass this?

Problem started for me on monday early afternoon (Around 1:30 - 2 PM CEST I believe). Can't be a coincidence. If you look at the sticky post you'll see that most problems started in/after the weekend.
