Are there any other players for FFXIV using UNIFI having latency issues since last night?

selowwww poke

Same case here, been looking around the net for solutions for hours now with no results. Called TM and ended up with "there is no problem with your connection.", totally feel like banging my head against the wall now since my main is stuck at leviathan server with severe lag issue.

Well, sorry for not following your lowyat FFXIV threads.

But ugh, I called them up earlier and they said they're looking into some problem related to connections to China and youtube vids online (It's probably unrelated), but idk how they run the lines overseas anyway.

if its Canada, Montreal then i understand since that is where the NA/EU servers are located at. grrr, world transfer is not comin until mid of sept and if im not playing it will be a waste of money since the sub has started counting now.

same here. playing US server lag since yesterday night.

the odd thing is the chat has no lag at all, i guess that's hosted in another server elsewhere.

Maxis Fiber here (UniFi backbone) no lag yesterday.

got few lag ...bout an hour or so..yesterday. back to normal after that

Nope. 10MB user here. Everything is smooth sailing for me so far. Playing it on JP Server.

No lag for me. Unifi.

Hm, okay.

sadaharukouya, are you using the 20mb package or within the area of serdang?

Apparently the lag only happens to the players who play on NA servers. i tried creating a new character on JP server and its smooth as silk, zero lag.

im using 5mbs package and i live at ampang

Yep, I'm on the NA server too... so I guess it's all around then, not specific to location.

Thanks, UNIFI.

oh gawd! i think we are royally screwed! playing a whole new character again doesnt sound appealing at all after spending large amount of time on my main.

Yes that is why i recommend playing in JP server... ><

Reason I'm on the NA was because of oversea friends anyway.

well then, get a VPN!

and i was because the community...thought the jp servers going to be silent as hell or full of japanese words.

but now i dont care if i have to play in a ghost town as long there is no freaking 3-4 secs delay!

well not for Tiamat, Tonberry & Masamune server, is full of English Speaking actually.. ><

really? i will take note of that once the bloody transfer is available.

btw, do u have any recommendations on which vpn to use? coz i noticed a lot or maybe all em require u to buy.

JP server no need VPN, we get constant 90ms - 170ms which is good, even with VPN to NA/EU u get 150ms - 200ms.. .

I'm tempted to buy one, tbh.

I just pinged the NA/EU servers and I'm looking at non-consistent pings ranging from 200 to 2000ms. In game, I'm pretty much spiking very hard, and not just 3-4s intervals.

Suffering a major lag in NA server, Behemoth. Can't even initiate dialog for quests, constant rubberbanding and occasional disconnection. I just hope they expand the servers on JP side soon.

tried pinging to JP and i get average speed of 90ms and 300 for NA... its weird because it was definately feel like 90 before yesterday night. im totally staring at unifi now.

The absolutely shit part is that you can't explain your problem to them (UNIFI) since their call-in service has all the phonecall taichi moves and it's always busy. Mine happened specifically on 11:30pm yesterday, it was smooth as silk before that.

using yes4g and Gilgamesh(NA) server is lagginggg

Same here. Bad lag since 11.00 pm last night in PJ area. Playing in Behemoth server.

lol good luck



I already say NA/EU servers are in Montreal, Quebec, you are BOUND to have LAG situation.

laggy since yesterday as well, unifi 5mb bukit jalil area

By the way, I use my maxis LTE for hotspot and it's working ok now. Slight lag compared to previous normal unifi but playable.

Yeah, I've had to resort to maxis 3G as well..

I hope this wont turn into PSO2 where animosity towards us mere gaijins by the japs got so huge that mods started banning anyone speaking english for petty offenses.

Well, pso2 also got hacked several times and that might have aggroed them up, but japs online tend to be more racist. Speaking from own experience though. If youve never been harrassed by one, you have too much luck.

It wont bexause ffxiv is an international server different then pso2 because pso2 was design for japanese players only

dayuum! that serious? totally didnt know that coz i quit playing months ago

Depends... I played on Ship 4, there wasn't much animosity between the japanese players and the international players. I'll have to say though, if anything; the international players were usually the rude ones.

I was on Ship 2. At one time, shit was so all over the place; important NPCs got dislocated from their original positions which caused players unable to initiate activities that require us to talk to them. People who did such hacks(though not as much a hack as script kiddies using Cheat Engine) said that they were only trying to expose PSO2 servers' lack of security, but what it did instead was that it created fiction between the Japs and the rest.

Not sure how it is now, but back then, by the time I left, floor 20(de facto gathering place for English-only players) which once used to be a lively place became... 'dead'. Sure, you don't HEAR people talk in that game's lobby, but the lack of conversation and everyone seemingly too afraid to say a word made that place feel uncomfortably eerie for me.

Oh wow, really? I thought you guys over at Ship 2 pretty much had a tight thing going - I even recall there was that in game wedding hosted by some guys in PSO World.

Didn't know it decayed...

Anyway, just pinged the 199.91.189.21 today... the latency seems to be stable now compared to last night; but I can't get in since wwwwwww error 1017

Anyone on Unifi tried today ?

yea im curious too any updates on ping latency whoever using Unifi?

everything was fine till Monday night

Well, I manged to login with UNIFI - the stability isn't there but it was an improvement over yesterday's.

I managed to play pretty decently in less crowded areas but when it got into very dense areas such as South Shroud where there are tons of FATE occurring and other players running around; the latency just dipped.

I did another ping test again and below was my result :

[EDIT] READ : MINOR IMPROVEMENT [/EDIT]

so which region and server is good'?

oh u r right! tried the ping myself and there sure is some minor improvements, but when i tried to play i cant see any diff though. well! at least there is some inprovements, in the meanwhile i will just play my alt or some other games.

anyone know any solution to this? just sent a ticket to them. lets see what SE reply

Problem solved with VPN....

mind to share what which vpn u use?

bolehvpn, bad thing is that you have to pay extra to have the problem solved.

thanks! i just asked them to send me a free trial copy and if everything is ok i will buy the 1week package. cant believe i might have to dish out extra money bacause unifi screwed up.

Yo dude, do let us know how it works out for ya!

for my case the game become "playable" with the VPN, minor lag..It's still better than previous which I don't even get a response clicking on the npc

I know that feel, man... Question though, are you set to FullyRouted-Canada/America?

Can anyone confirm that using maxis4g no such lag like unifi? Playing is NA of course....

Yea, used hotspot with iPhone (LTE) and working ok. It is slightly lag compared to unifi(before issue happen).
Maybe about 0.5 sec delay for every actions.

Yeah bro, I can tether with my phone using Maxis mobile network (3G) while UNIFI is failing me. It's pretty smooth gameplay with the Maxis so far.

I used Fully Routed - All

"FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn.

Since the start of early access on Saturday, August 24th, an enormous amount of users have been logging in to the game. As such, the number of users logging in has been increasing at a rate that is much higher than what we had originally anticipated. To ensure that we maintain a quality level of service for everyone, we have been setting restrictions on both the creation of characters as well as adjusting the number of users that are able to log in. We are well aware that these restrictions are a source of frustration for our users who are waiting to play.

To address this matter, we are currently working on introducing new Worlds and enhancing the performance of the login and match making processes on both the Japanese and North American & European data centers. This operation is expected to be completed at the beginning of next week.

Until this operation is complete, we would like to prioritize the quality of service for those who have already purchased the game. Therefore, we are temporarily suspending the sale of the digital download versions of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. Once the operation has been completed, the sale of the digital download version will resume.

While the operation is in progress, we will continue to apply restrictions on both the creation of characters and the ability to log into the game. Throughout this time, we will be offering constant updates on the progress of the operation.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this causes our users and humbly request your understanding. "

>>SOURCE<<

i think the game is too new, everyone spamming in and then AFK or Botting endlessly hence lagging or dc is unavoidable , i think gonna buy the game till everything settle down lag or bug issues

Wrong channel bro? People with other ISP doesn't seem to have this problem.

Thanks for the responds gonna test tonight with my celcom 3g

I tried out the canada one, but with bolehvpn, it seems to fix the problem.

I'm using Unifi w/ w/o VPNinja.

When I first started the game, I see a couple of disconnects so I logged in using VPNinja since it has Japan server, so can really get excellent speed.

However yesterday I was able to play w/o using my VPN. I guess it might just be the connection issue towards the server itself.

p/s: VPNinja sub is USD 6/month .If you want to use VPNinja, I appreciate if you can put me down as your referrer leh so that I can get one free month sub.

btw u guys r all using pc to play right?

ok doubled check. apparently using celcom3g while playing i am NOT experiencing any lag. only in fate when there are more then 20+ ppl.

So looks like its unifi's fault. anyone has any idea how to speak to them regarding this matter?

I'm using a PC

wrong channel bro. server congestion - yes a problem for few popular server. LAG is non-existent for us that playing in JP server. (using unifi 5mb here). DC yes, once in a while or non at all.
n this thread is for UNIFI problem, not game problem =.=.

He's dreaming...

GUYS! try using ur unifi to play now! im 10 mins into to game and i havent encountered a single sign of lag yet, which is rather unusual because normally when i open the door in my room, it should takes 3 secs for the option to pops up and now its instant! im doing mining now btw and i still see no sign of lag so far!

ive been using unifi on jp and eu server haven't encountered any lags/problems.

perhaps it's area? im in puchong

So far I have not encountered any lag in JP server.

I did encounter some lag when I started off in a NA server though.

Tried without VPN today, no more lag

Can a standard tmnet strymx of 1mb connection play this game?

I believe the issue was for American servers.

Also, unifi resolved their stuff, it's playable without VPN now!

Luckily I only tried their 3 days trial with Rm 5 only
