strange lag issues (they started after today maintenance )

same issue, game's unplayable like this

Regrettably, I am experiencing the same issues. Start/stop/start/stop. I have reset the network, tried an alternate connection, updated everything, reinstalled everything... I've been thorough, and it persists. Clearly, there is an issue. It was especially apparent when attempting the Titan Hard fight today. I failed miserably, because all action would pause momentarily, then resume, making it almost impossible to dodge area attacks - or even see them at times until it was too late.

This issue did not exist prior to the latest maintenance.

Getting the same issues here.

Can hardly fight Titan this way at all! I get pulses of lag and next thing I know, I'm at the bottom of the pit. This happened to me after the last maintenance as well.

I'm getting these issues as well. On avg every 2-6s I lag for 1-3s. Skipping everywhere. I assumed it was server load, until I started asking people around me and they were not getting this. Ran ping tests and my connection is fine. Other games are fine. No change in hardware.

Cox in Irvine, Orange County.
Called and they said they don't throttle. But of course I have no idea if I am to believe them.

I also have Cox in Irvine, OC

Been having the same problem since maintenance this week. The game stutters a lot. I originally thought it was only in dungeons but I've been getting the same thing while crafting.

Also using Cox in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Same as most people. After this last patch I've been getting weird lag spikes. Every 5 seconds or so there will be a 1-2 second lag then everything zooms to catch up. This happens in town, crafting, and tried a few different dungeons, all the same. I've tried port forwarding, resetting the router/modem, etc. Pinging the server shows about 103-110ms. Oddly though, it seems like it's easier to get out of aoe circles without taking damage, if I happen to not be having a lag spike (compared to normally having to clear the red circle a second or so before the circle disappears to avoid damage). I'm also using Cox Cable near Phoenix, AZ. Speed tests show it's a 33Mbps download, 10Mbps upload.

This makes harder content near impossible. I could do CM just fine since it's an easy dungeon, and helping guildies out with things like Chimera and Darkhold are alright. I can't imagine trying to do the HM primals or AK with it doing this crap.

i think i found the fix... go back to settings and put up default -- well it worked for me at least

Since yesterday I've had this issue, too. It's much worse today. I'll summon my chocobo and it can take up to 5-10 seconds for it to appear. Changing classes takes several tries, very laggy. Have to click NPCs multiple times before anything pops up. Have lost connectivity, battle and others rubber band and lag... It's a big pain.

I tried resetting the settings, and it's not helping. Playing something else until it's fixed.
