Packet loss to FFXIV Server.

[Drakkhurst]

I'm currently expecting 3 to 5% packet loss to the lobby server and world alike, which would be perfectly fine if in addition to give me spike lag ingame, would not disconnect me every 5 mn.

With the server in their current state, that would be 30mn spamming 0 to play 5mn, not a very good ratio imho.

Beside the chat support for Square is a joke, keeping me waiting for 35mn to finally pop a "No one to answer, try later" kind of message.

Please investigate the network connection/occupation, it starts today around 1h30 EST.

Traceroute as follow :

Trace complete.

How is that bad?

[Raist]

dropping a couple pings is not necessarily a bad sign when the server is getting hammered with login attempts... it's suffering a sort of mini SYN flood at the moment.

Not saying there aren't issues with bandwidth and such.... but, then again... that kind of is the point.

You are experiencing issues right now because SE oversold the game for the level of hardware/bandwidth put in place. They are scheduled to address those issues tomorrow night with the overnight maintenance.

No where does it state they are planning to address the band width issue. They state that they "hope" that adding more world servers and instances servers will help with the bandwidth issue. they are not planning on addressing this issue on Tuesday/Wednesday.

They had mentioned looking into/addressing bandwidth concerns further back, hoping to have some changes in place when they added new servers.

It's always a bad sign, always implying unhealty network, overcapacity often (as for now it's probably that), but can't also imply a faulty route at some point.

Until yesterday, once logged in I never experienced any kind of issues expect for the occasional server or duty finder crash. As for now I can't play more than 5mn before getting lag spike ending disconnected, not sure the load bumped a lot since yesterday and today.
