If you got that IP address from pinging with the other server name than it’s probably the right server responding to tracert with it’s DNS name from the amazon network. They do look like that. I’m not expert at this however looking at your traceroute it looks like there’s a huge lag between some level3 servers in your route. For me personally the increases were more incremental but it’s not important, usually.
Some guys were discussing this today in another thread but all of the starred out ones are likely not a problem, some equipment doesn’t respond to this type of request even though it’s forwarding other traffic. Anything else I would guess from looking at this is just a guess from me. I don’t want to post confusing and possibly wrong info.
This may or may not help you anyways. Without knowing exactly what you’re looking for in terms of services and data centers I personally wouldn’t bother. Plus it would suck to put your machine on a service to correct your problems with EUC servers and have it slow down all of your interactions with US based servers.
This looks normal to me. It’s showing a ping of less than 200ms but this ping is already more than what you’re saying you get in game when playing final fantasy. The boundless game client shows me a considerably longer ping time than a raw ping since it bottlenecks my (weak) pc and takes a little extra time to process.
As someone who’s not deep into these things what you’ve posted here just tells me that you had a relatively normal connection from the west coast to europe at the time that you ran these tests. If the game client is showing you a much higher ping time and not maxing out your hardware you could ask comcast about that if you like.
the latency shown in the client is not pure network latency (because that alone is fairly useless.) but the effective latency, which includes things like the time between your pc receiving the network data and it actually being read/processed/acted upon, the time between the client pushing data and it actually being sent down the network, and the server to do the same things. so itll always be larger than pure network latency.
almost on schedule at the 1 week mark, having troubles on EU worlds again. Right when an EU exo with colors I was really excited to get spawns. Makes no sense, connection fine for 6-8 days and then bad for a week then good for a week.
Can someone just give the intertubes a good old fashioned cleaning out?
I’m almost starting to think it occurs whenever an EU exo spawns. I guess if the issues persist in this pattern, watching what happens when the exo (with all the gorgeous colors I wanted along with it) despawns it might provide more information. Who knows.
I am having problems with lag on Aus servers and have zero connectivity to EU servers which sucks for me because I really want some mats from the new exo.
yep,had this a few times yesterday,would get kicked with the message connection to server lost or something when trying to log back in (resolved it by rebooting the game)
For anyone with problems yesterday, currently there seems to be no problems. Going use the 30 minutes I have to farm this blue on the exo and hope the connection quality holds up. Maybe I can get some more playtime later today,
I’m having tons of issues right now with Biitula with rubberbanding, and can’t even get out into the sanctum. I have to quit the entire game to get to the sanctum
Ive just quit logging in every day when I had time. 7 times out of 10 had of the servers are not able to be connected to. I only log in 2-3 times a week now, and then end up logging out because I cant access the places I want, or exos with super rare colors
Doesnt look like they will ever change the server infrastructure so this problem will never get fixed.
Not even from your own region? Their most likely fix for it would be to have regional universes and not allow play on other regions anymore. That doesn’t sound like a solution I’d be happy with
My region is fine yes. But my region doesn’t have all of the colors of items, and many exo’s i can’t go to either as a result. Would you be happy if your access to half the game was hampered/cut off? This game has a huge problem scaling. I’m not the only one with this problem. If this game scaled up 10k players over night, you would see 800-1k people complaining about these connection issues, if they bothered to complain at all. That seems to be about the ratio of complaints to concurrent users, maybe it’s off some.
I can’t really remember having any issues in December at all, then as soon as January ticked around I routinely lose access to half of the worlds in the game. It’s only this game. I’m able to access EU servers for other games just fine, and it’s right at the point where I access the AWS servers in EU, which I believe is Frankfurt.
Pretty sure a dev said the FFXIV EU servers were hosted not far way from where the AWS frankfurt servers are, I may have misread that. I don’t have problems connecting to the ffxiv server in EU but I dot with this game.
So instead of continuing to complain and hope a for a fix, I’m just going to play the games that I don’t have problem with. Maybe Ill check back in a year if the game has grown, if it’s still the handful population I’ll assume not much has changed.
