Regarding ingame server lag serious issues

[JpbOhYea]

looking at zabnastan's post , it seems that even the port # difference is enough to be the difference between good and bad...

This thread gave me some insight as to what is actually happening.
It is possible to isolate the problematic machines if the players post here what their connecting IP is an if they have any lag at all.

cmd into Netstat will give you the ip but you can also find it via Task Manager -> Performance tab -> Resource monitor at the bottom -> collapse the network tab and check the Address and PID of ffxiv.exe

Mine is always 199.91.189.29:5960
However I have already checked this twice on the open beta and prior to 1st of sept. and the bottom number was above 29, at that time I had no lag spikes.

Just pinged OPs problematic IP an got packet losses, pinged the other ip that was said to have no lag and I indeed got no packet losses.

Having the same issue, hiccup-style lag, very noticeable in dungeons but also happens in the world as well. Seems to vary depending on time of day (it's worst during prime hours) but always present to some extent. Quite certain it's not my connection, I've been monitoring it and I have not seen anything unusual.

Here's the IP my game connects to:



199.91.189.44, port 55025
199.91.189.44, port 55025

Has anyone tried opening, say, ports 50000 to 55000 on their routers? Forwarding them and stuff. See if it helps, considering the very odd ports range being used.
