Regarding ingame server lag serious issues

[Freyjadour]

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.

This is more of a bump reply as I'm not at home and cant post the server I connect to but I'm also in Japan connecting to an NA server and up until about 48 hours ago I had no lag issues at all then out of no where they hit. it sucks that this is happening but its nice to know I'm not the only one like I thought I was for a while. I hope this gets fixed soon because I love this game and want to be able to play. =(

would be nice to know that SE is at least aware of this issue but no responses from them.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hey, OP could you post the list of all reported problematic IPs and their posts on your first post?

[Shawnji]

I'm in Japan as well connecting to Adamantoise. I have fiber optic through OCN, and it uses a PPPoE authentification. I'm not sure if that's relevant because I'm not really tech-savvy, but there it is. Didn't have any trouble until Monday.

Already asked that in a previous post. Just got to wait for OP to read it and hopefully they'll comply, making it easier for everyone

Im in Japan as well, 100mb NTT through OCN. Right now I have 6ms in the japanese servers (10:50am here) but I can't play on NA servers because I get packet loss and then error 9000.
