Constant Desync

[Dorion]

I have been having constant lag spikes/connection stuttering for the past few days. Everything will stop, other people stop moving/using actions, monsters stop attacking, then the game updates and people quickly move/use action/attack. This issue is specific to FFXIV as I have no problems with any other games or online services. I was not having connection problems in the past. It is literally impossible for me to progress/participate in content with this issue as I cannot perform my role. I am not sure if this was caused by changes after the last update or because of high server congestion on the weekend but my server is supposed to be one of the less populated ones. Apparently other people have been having similar problems.

Greetings Dorion,
We appreciate you taking the time to report the trouble you are having to us. There is a thread over in Tech Support here that would be of some use to you where we are investigating issues that might be caused by ISPs classifying FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn as P2P software. We welcome you to add your information there so we can investigate this further. Thank you!
