Constant Lag, Reply Please?

[ZazzMatazz]

I love that the other thread was locked and with such a terse and unhelpful response as well -.-

A SE representative has moved all the lag threads to the resolved Issues Forum while they investigate the cause of the issue.

The thread is now closed under the "Resolved Issues" section of the forum.

So it`s done? No more lag?

Don't think so, the mod says at the end that he's closing it "because it can't be solved on the forums" and that they are investigating the problem currently.
Don't really know why they closed the topic...

yeah seems kinda pointless to close it when another will be made in its place haha I do hope the fix it though I want to play again!! =(

Might of been closed because the faulty broadband company was named and the other threads linked to that original thread.

Or the IT pro's in that thread made SE look bad.

IDK, its all I could come up with.

Oh! Praise the Lord, we finally got a response! I feel about 200% better now. I'd given up on ever finishing the main storyline and resolved myself to crafting all day.

Odd. Looking over the hops, It looks like the bottle neck occurs for me over the as6453.net servers. A quick Google check shows they are run by Tata Communications. Reading through their company profile, they are a Tier 1 telecom in India, but at best, a Tier 3 in the US. The server that bottlenecks seems to be in the Seattle area and pushes to a low 600ms latency (see tracert pull below. Some data was omitted as I parsed the information in side my companies office behind their Proxy). I can't seem to find their backbone in the US. If the backbone provider was found, we would be able to call up our ISP and request a route to a different server to complete the hop on a lower latency server. The only other option would be to go through a VPN to force a route change to avoid the data centers having issues. I'm hesitant of this as VPN's and Proxies have not yielded positive results for me in the past.

Yeah, I think this is happening in multiple places. I've got RCN in Boston, and my bottleneck happens with these two hops:

equinix-was12.ip.tiscali.NET (206.126.236.19)
xe-1-0-0.mtl10.ip4.tinet.net (89.149.185.41)

I've been watching ping traffic to the IP I've been assigned and every time I have a lag spike/rubberband/90000-error DC, my ping is hitting those hops and going no further. All my hops along the chain of my actual ISP are fine.

So I'm guessing it's a bottleneck or other problem somewhere between me and the NA/EU Data center (I have no problem on JP servers)

Oh my god! I thought it was because of my setup, but it seems like I'm one of you guys. Issue started on the 2nd.

Country: Japan
Provider: NTT

Before the 2nd, game worked perfectly as long as I got in. Since the 2nd though, I'm having really bad lag issues, I keep being "desynched" from the server every minute or so, for as long as 15/20 seconds at time! Needless to say, I can't do any party stuff and thus can't progress in the main story... Even when I'm solo, I died a few times because of that, and even crafting can get grating...
No disconnection problems though.
