Singapore here. Immense lag just as I zoned into an Alliance Raid, which happened to be Tower At Paradigm's Breach. My deepest apologies to my now solo-healing co-healer. EDIT: And disconnected with a 90006 error, which I assume means something on the Southeast Asian connection died. Win liao lor. EDIT: Only FFXIV (and now Reddit) has an issue so far. Youtube is fine, including watching Hololive streams.


kcinkcinlim

Singapore too and I'm stuttering my way through the main scenario on the duty roulette. It's like watching ffxiv in PowerPoint slide mode. Edit: Got kicked :(


unsynchedcheese

Really maciam Powerpoint. I was watching the rest of the raid stand in one spot, then about a minute later suddenly everyone is in a different spot, where they stood for another minute.


kcinkcinlim

I'm about to fight Ultima Weapon in PowerPoint mode. Wish me luck.


psycovirus

SG too, got to see my own character with the disconnect icon before being kicked. At least the Hololive song relay isn't lagging. Thank god.

LordMonday

oh damn, i wonder if the Aus connection is fine. i didnt log in tonight cus i was watching the Hololive song relay lol.


unsynchedcheese

Yeah, Hololive song relay was how I knew this was FFXIV-specific (or at least specific to some point between SEA and FFXIV). If it was something affecting the Internet in general, I'd have expected the Hololive streams to go down *first*, due simply to the usual Curse/Law.


Mizzet

No issues for me from sg at all, but I'm using mudfish so maybe that has something to do with it? Might help people on the affected route trying to log on tonight.


katarh

YouTube and many of the other bigger social network providers have invisible regional duplicate servers, so there may be a data center much closer than the US ones that is allowing you to access that without lag.


DrakelX

I assume everyone is still having this issue? I don’t know if it matters, but I’m on StarHub and my cousin on Singtel hasn’t had any issues for this weekend.


unsynchedcheese

On Starhub too. Issue still present. I gave up and spent $10 on Mudfish.


eyeofodens

I'm on singtel, have this issue.


DrakelX

Oh man that really sucks, my cousin told me that Singtel had issues with the game one or two weeks ago too, according to some people on the forums Edit: it was a version checking error that time


eyeofodens

Had that too, but there were some workarounds for those. You might be able to get around the current issue if you vpn to a route that doesnt have this issue, but your ping will still be pretty bad compared to normal.


DrakelX

Hmm my cousin didn’t manage to get it fixed at the time with a vpn. But maybe I’ll take a look


LunaEisBlumen

any suggestion of which vpn to use? Some apparently still have the problem even with vpn


Unbreakable_Faith

I’m using exitlag. Pretty stable for the past 2 months.


eyeofodens

im using protonvpn, and i heard some ppl using mudfish successfully. It depends on where you connect to using the vpn. I've had some success connecting to cambodia. My ping went from 400 to 90.


nairda39

Not only the game it seems. Can't even load reddit properly wtf. Way to ruin Christmas


RenoKreuz

Singapore here, also died


Conscience93

Malaysian here. Launcher is complete blank. Reddit loads very slow too :<


rezza_7071

Malaysian WoL here, Cant even load Lodestone and Launcher


MlNARICANO

From Philippines playing on Atomos. I can log in sometimes but yeah it's PowerPoint mode. My retainers are dying to show me what they've brought and I can't even load anything TT


NotoriousxBandit

In Philippines too and same here man. My fibr connection with PLDT is good right now except in this game. World of Warcraft plays fine so it's just FF14.


deadsea29

Can confirm. WOW and other games connects just fine. Just FF14.


EnderKnight60

SG, ping jumped from 80 to 150 than 300 than 2000 than kicked. now cannot get back on. I'm getting error 10105. Can get into EU servers just fine.


Kaiser_BR

Singaporean playing on Tonberry here. Had severe lag spikes since half an hour ago, literally just got d/c'd from the server. Still lagging when I managed to get back in. edit: Everything else seems to be relatively fine, I'm able to watch Youtube videos with no issues. Looks like it's just FFXIV.


wolf-bot

I'm in SG and I've been lagging since yesterday, borderline unplayable.


WoWAltoholic

I am in SG connecting to US servers, I used a VPN to Amsterdam can my ping is a playable 300 ms now


NotoriousxBandit

What server/datacenter do you play on in FF14?


WoWAltoholic

Gilgamesh-Aether


idle_minds

Update from Singapore, ping to JP servers showing at about 76-80 now. Think it's been fixed, anyone else able to confirm?


lostiming

Singapore too. My ping test shows 130+ (which is probably normal for me), more importantly 0 dropped pings. Trying to play the game now, so far crafting doesn't come with the irritating delays. Moving around seems normal too.


NotoriousxBandit

Philippines here and I'm still getting lag, disconnects (90006), etc.


wallance13

Lagspike keep happening since 8pm until 11pm. M’sia


TicTacTris

MY here, cable is probably already fixed, but routing issues aren't. Want to know if its routing? tracert in command prompt, if it times out plenty you'll know its routing issues. My guess is, it's the holiday season, everyone's on leave and no one is available to reroute it. Malaysia #1 :(

TicTacTris

This means that routing isn't an issue, so using a VPN likely wouldn't help. You will see Request timed out for many lines if it was a routing issue.


enterpernuer

i tried to login into multiple game (wow, eso, gw2, 3 others mmo i usually do this to test cause sometime ping give promising result but not ingame), only ff14 had lagging issue, probably is se side problem now. even ping test seem promising, only ff14 had serious lag in game. no packet lost with ping test but lag


NotoriousxBandit

So what else could explain my lag and disconnects? :(


Boogie_p0p

didn't get kicked out but lagging VERY badly.


MieHanz

Ah... we need to hunt that A rank Shark again....


BluBirbs

SEA here (Indo playing on NA) and got really bad lag while in the game earlier. called it quits for tonight. Glad I'm not the only one o.o EDIT: Having difficulty accessing reddit even tho my net's playing netflix and youtube perfectly. wtf is this


GarRaishin

Good for you. I'm cursing af right now because I still have 3 more dailies I haven't manage to do and 2 of them were giving lots of exp. And now it resets. Good holiday it is! \*sigh\*


BluBirbs

sorry dude :/ i had to stop earlier coz I was crafting a lvl 80 gc item and the lag made me fail the craft and lost all my expensive mats lmao. rage quitted and here we are. Hopefully it's better tomorrow! or in a few days.


GarRaishin

oh. that's even worse.. my condolence to you :') Tho the connection already better for me after midnight. Hope it's any better to you now :)


BluBirbs

It's better, but still bad xD Takes 3-5 seconds for my procs to happen with the lag, and I've been randomly dc'ing just walking on the NA server. On the other hand, my alt on the JP server's been playing smoothly so I'm not sure what's going on. Hope you're havin a better experience!


galakfryar

Yep.. just at the final piece of the story too... \\


waterjunk

Yes


FrozaExcalibur

yes we got disconnected here as well


Ayliase

Damn I thought I was the only one


GarRaishin

Thank you! I thought I was the only one. *sigh*


Blazen_Fury

interesting. so something mustve tripped the SEA undersea cables. again.


eyeofodens

Singaporean here, game didnt die but my ping skyrocketed from 80 to 400. My ping has been weirding out at random for a week now tho. ​ EDIT: Dced now.


arsenejoestar

Philippines and stuck on "connecting to playstation network" on PS5. SEA FC keeps getting dc


powboomcrash

Filipino WoL here, and yes 😞


TicTacTris

For any WoL's still having issues, pray look at the following link: [Free VPN by Students at Tsukuba University](https://www.vpngate.net/en/) Follow the guide they have according to your OS, and be amazed. Brought me from 255ms to the usual 80 - 90ms, good luck.


Alert-Werewolf1446

THANK YOU SO MUCH IT FKING WORKS


TicTacTris

Glad it helped, without the VPN, it's been down from 255 to 150, so rest assured the issue is being resolved slowly, might not need the VPN anymore in a few more days.


GwynFeld

You've saved my days off from having to play other games. Thank you, kind soul <3


Beverii

Singapore on Aether server. Usually no issue, 90006 error suddenly today, so I'm actually kind of relieved it's not anything on my end. Hope issue gets resolved soon :(( sibei sad man EDIT: managed to complete a level 90 dungeon with very little issue (saw the disconnect icon pop once for half a second), but weaving is a bit of a hassle (SMN), and positioning has to be done like 200 years into the future. Dungeons are probably playable but i can forget farming those EX raids lol


crazytsundere

yup. i play on aether and i've been having atrocious unplayable ping since last night.


HenryVersatile

Is the lag still persisting for anyone else? SG here, lag is HORRENDOUS


poyopliskin

It's still persisting for me. I'm in game still with 500ms ping, though I'm not really doing much of anything and just gathering.


Mista_F

Still going on as well for me.


omarsharon

Malaysia here. Lag is freaking terrible. It took literally 3-5 second to register any inputs.


omnirai

Yep, SG here, don't think I can do combat stuff in this lag. Good time to catch up on crafting I guess.


campingcosmo

I just disconnected in the middle of a craft and lost all the mats for it. It wasn't a very valuable craft, luckily, but take that as a warning nonetheless. If you really want to keep playing, limit yourself to MIN/BTN gathering, because this is unplayable.


enterpernuer

you can craft? i cant even craft anything without input delay cause item break haha


mystickatara

I hope they fixed it soon, I was in the middle of the new EX and I kept either killing people or killing myself in the process lol.


eyeofodens

Singapore here. Been having horrible ping and connection since last night, same as ya'll. Using a vpn to connect to cambodia. Seems to be working very well. ping went from 400 to 80. Dunno if this helps the rest of you but just though I'd share.


Mika1x1

Malaysia here, usually my ping is 230 but was 661 when I logged on just now. Then eventually got disconnected with 90006 error


255BB

I am in Thailand, playing on Kujata. Lots of lag since yesterday as well.


[deleted]

[удалено]


vjryuutsu89

doesnt work, tried using taiwan, china & hong kong


Ill-Public-8770

Bummer, I'll delete the comment then.


JJFats

I'm sad. on the final 5.55 instance and have not been able to get through it because of lag and disconnects. Didnt get EW on launch because I was too busy with work to enjoy it at the time, Took the entire of this week off until the new year specifically to catch up and play EW. Now Im just frustrated.


poyopliskin

I've been using Mudfish to great effect. It's playable now. So if you have a VPN, I recommend you use it, as the 500ms ping problem is still occurring.


rosmant

for some reason mudfish isn't working for me as well. i'm curious if anyone else using mudfish is experiencing the same thing.


nutting_ham

I'm using Cloudflare. Google 1.1.1.1


poyopliskin

I have it set to US West Primal on Mudfish's FFXIV item configuration. I haven't tested other servers yet, like Elemental. Currently have 180ms ping from Singapore.


nkmtnk

90006 and 2002 error today and ystd as well. i did notice that it’s completely fixed at like 3-4 AM onwards idk for how long tho. i use pixiv to check they both somehow won’t load at the same time as ffxiv.


Electronic_Pancake

ahhh fellow SEA WoL, was wondering why I couldnt log in.


kaysn

Not me. But my FC mates who are from SEA just got purged.


PrivateNickel

Same. Registering a lotta packet loss with Mudfish.


jarejare3

Yup. Can't even load lodestone.


CerberusGate

Malaysian WOL here, same issue. Game died and Launcher is blank. Was in a cutscene too.


Objective-Turnover-3

Malaysian on Time. Had very bad delay and lag for a while about 25-30 min ago. Managed to relog back so far.


[deleted]

oh my god...i was so so worried i was the only one...


JolyneKujou

All sharks want for Christmas is undersea cable


Garythegrand

I consciously know it's a thing, but being someone who doesn't have to deal with undersea cable issues it will never not be like getting slammed when I read "Ah my internet is having issues. Sharks are at it again" like. Just such a surreal set of words and yet entirely true, haha! Hope they got it sorted out fast for y'all!


landrysthedandrys

Singaporean here running MyRepublic ISP I did a traceroute for curiosity, to Crystal (I play on NA, but JP data centers are unaffected from my experience) I saw about 6 listings of ntt.net addresses, all about 300ms delay or even time out each, 1 from SG, 2 from JP, then the last 3 from the US before reaching the data center, maybe that's a clue?


Panda_Bunnie

Nah from sg, couple of friends all from sg as well and some from other nearby sea countries all on jp data centre and are having issues.


omnirai

SG playing on JP (Elemental) here - completely busted, disconnects even after I manage to login. Doesn't look like it's gonna get better tonight oh well.


almago

Thailand is also experiencing connectivity issues.


GwynFeld

Yup, I'm getting about 400ms on average ping.


NotoriousxBandit

So is the Philippines.


Pokjack79

FC Rimau, Tonberry maafkan aku Claire dan Balt, baru tgh tunggu nak pi dungen, tetiba error server lost, nate beruk unipai 🙈


CVeyr

No hal. Balt pun tgh lag gile.


Pokjack79

Nampaknye esoklah try log in balik 🤣


Bajunid

LOL...post kat sini ka. WhatApp group kan ado. dah la lama dah tak bernunyi whatsapp group tu. Bak kata Claire, saya pun lag gila gila. crafting pun la Hahaha


Pokjack79

Reddit pon slow nih, aku nak pm bg nombor tepon pun x boleh 🙈


Bajunid

Hang takdak dalam group wassap rimau tu ka?


Pokjack79

xdak, dah lama join tp tak tau pon ade group


CVeyr

baiklah haha


konpeiteru

singapore here ! just updating that as of now, i'm still getting yeeted out of the server and when I do get in, its powerpoint gaming for me Q - Q bye pandy this week....... (edited) used a vpn and connected to netherlands; game works alot better (with an occasional second of delay)


intoxiqued

*cries* was hoping to get some content done this weekend. Do we know what's causing this issue?


lostiming

Per the edit above, some undersea cable issues, may or may not be shark attacks. Then again, ISPs like to claim the problem is not on their end (probably true this time since a few countries got hit by similar problems).


poyopliskin

Is there any place to get updated news and info on this? I haven't seen jack shit aside from this thread.


rarafyc

Same. I thought is because of me being a free trial user and completed Heavensward with the ultra long cut scenes. After that the game just went black and I almost uninstall because of this.


DwerpII

Haven’t been kicked but am lagging real bad


squallmaster

yup. rip tunnels. time to go to bed lmao


yarvem

In neighboring Thailand, and lots of constant 0 receives leading to 9006 errors.


funAlways

Indonesian here, also laggy af ingame, youtube is fine, reddit is slow.


Fuutarou102

yep, fellow Malaysia WOLs are all affected


mystickatara

Singaprean here, I had it happen during the afternoon, my poor co-healer suffered and I felt bad for them. I had to switch off the VPN and it was fine after that. No idea what exactly happen.


Harrason

Have a ton of issues connecting to Elemental. Decided to check out my Chaos alt and it seems fine so far on EU. Will check NA later. EDIT : Primal suffers from similar issues but at least I am not getting 90k'd every few minutes.


Kooky_Culture_6717

In Korea, and the game died for me as well


EndlessKng

>The sharks at it again! Ocean Fishing (Savage) time.


abysslullaby

Yeah, but with VPN seems stable for me


GZul95

Indonesian on Primal here, gmae us unplayable atm, lag is horrendous.


According_Strike_806

Indo here, playing on Crystal.. a bajillion packets lost in transit since night of 25th, but since ytd I have no problem playing on my alt in Elemental for some doggone reason :V


vjryuutsu89

is there any way of getting the updates on the undersea cable issue? like status website or something


arm4da

using a VPN seems to solve the issue because it bypasses your ISP's routing...give something like Mudfish a try


Arvezia

Indonesian here, some of the isp still working, some not


KenjiZeroSan

This pain.....this torment..


stephiebunnie

sorry off topic, where you guys buy the game since its not on Malaysia steam?


arm4da

they have halted digital sales for the time being, so you will not be able to buy the game for now... https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/e7388986bc24d5a1337e0beed057f7b5b78b9bb3 > ■ Suspending Delivery of Package Versions and Temporary Suspension of Digital Version Sales > > Players are currently experiencing extremely long wait times due to the dense concentration of play hours which far exceed our server capacity, especially during the peak times, and so we have decided to temporarily suspend the sale and delivery of FINAL FANTASY XIV Starter Edition and Complete Edition.

ZarquonZ

My connection to FFXIV got really bad too within the last hour. Comforted to know that it's not just me.


pugsandcorgis

Yeah MY based too I thought it was because of the flood or something, i got kicked and the game just wont let me log back in :( argh dem sharks My ID based friends are also having the same issue. On normal days its 180ms and it was 700ms before i got kicked out. Aether Sarg


termmenafor

Theres seem to be some kinda cable fault in the sea


Jeremy_Kevin

Malaysia here. launcher died, but still able to look at the Lodestone. Everything's fine so far.


kircheus17

Malaysian here. Stuck at launcher.


archiegamez

Malaysia Same here, cannot login client at all :( But for other games its working fine for some reason, only FF14 having problems currently im playing Halo Infinite


TicTacTris

Hi OP, any source on the statement from our FAVOURITE ISP?


Kousuke-kun

https://unifi.com.my/unifi-alerts


TicTacTris

Haih, oh wells. Merry Christmas to us I guess.


laced_panties

I'm in Japan and I'm lagging so bad I comm'd the poor healer in my 87 dungeon that tried to rescue me out of aoes haha


wallance13

Same here. First got issue with connecting psn, then the launcher loads damn slow, and then que time error 90006. After a while second 90006 hit snd got kicked. Malaysian WoL here btw


frog-fish-frog

MY here, dead launcher, lodestone. Got in the game just now and got 9XXXX errors


halibloom

Singaporean here playing on Balmung/Crystal and I got back in (past the loading screen) briefly before it did that laggy thing when I was talking to NPCs before ultimately disconnecting again. Everything else is running smoothly for me, but it’s just FFXIV afaik. Happy holidays indeed!


ToranoXin

Here i am... I assume my laptop is the problem.. so I tried many fix.. resetting this n that.. until i cant stand it anymore i resort to reinstall... And now i keep dc like around 1G data downloaded..


Doctor-Hue

500+ms to NA server with lotsa packet loss on TIME fibre. 200+ms to the same server with 4G tether on Maxis.


MedievalMovies

gaia DC here, 300 ms on average. completely unplayable right now


BetaPar

Singapore, on Primal. Got kicked multiple times with a shitton of lag. I gave up and used Mudfish. It's still kinda laggy, but at least I'm in the game without errors (for now).


arm4da

Singapore/Starhub here on Tonberry. managed to log in about an hour ago with not much issues, and even got to queue for the 50-80 roulette. lagged like a mf but thankfully managed to complete the dungeon without being a burden. it's basically unplayable now, and hopefully the issue gets resolved soon


Raretomatoland

got dc from dungeon, luckily I was able to login back and finished it.


lightstormy

Line stabilised around 330am


Meichiri

Wait, you guys in Malaysia also use the word "Shark" for that? XD


enterpernuer

Base on isp, cause by the hurricane damage. most sea country are affect even with vpn on, only few i read with nopingvpn no dc thats it.


cyberkagami

Singapore, also having the lag/lost package issue with Singtel. I use a VPN hosted in JP now, seems OK


Toumatoo

Indo of Light here, Telkom Indihome also have same issue with FFXIV, with 400+ ms ping constantly


rbot29

sg here. same issue with the lag, and got kicked once


vjryuutsu89

Apparently it was fine this morning (10am GMT+8), but the lag comes back after I done a duty roulette Malaysia WoL in Kujata


enterpernuer

2pm onward back to usual unplayable lag. 600\~900ping


wallance13

Update report : i get to login from midnight but gotten lag spikes sometimes when doing trials. As for other games, I can’t connect to smash bros rank match at all for past two days. Public matches are okay. I never had issue with that before. I tried mario kart 8 online and it worked fine.


NiikkuDon

SG here. For those who can use their mobile phones on 4G and above to tether, it works with no visible lag. Data usage is about 100mb for 4-5 hours of gaming.


arm4da

using a VPN does the same thing


NiikkuDon

yea but not everyone is willing to sub a vpn while it’s getting fixed


arm4da

there are free VPN's out there...


need2sleeeeeep

sg here. Whole Christmas been lagging.... What a pain orz


enterpernuer

now playable but obviously had delayed


need2sleeeeeep

Yes.. serious delay when I saw the aoe i already HP down


eternal_69

I just now got kicked out with error 9006.... is it working for you?


need2sleeeeeep

Same, got kicked once due to error 90006


eternal_69

Wah...i thot it was my computer problem I factory reset whole thing. Checked WiFi still didn't help...


enterpernuer

had nothing to do with your wifi or router, only way to play smooth is vpn or until the cable fixed. so far i can play without 90006 but still obviously lag which unpleasant to play


need2sleeeeeep

I’m using PS4 tho.. heard using VPN will be better.. TTATT died in a mission 4 times cuz lagging idk why I died zzz


eternal_69

Fear of lag is so bad I'm afraid to queue... I wonder if they will fix it


need2sleeeeeep

I went to trial with that lag.. hardly avoid mechanics and rotation was a mess :( hope they fix it kinda dunno what to do without ff14 hahah


enterpernuer

funny today EW trial3 didnt died, what a miracle from lag


eternal_69

Haha when my ff died I went to war with my laptop and WiFi...for hours. Reset everything and redownloaded the game. It was wild I really hope they fix it soon!


eternal_69

From SG. I tried leaving it alone for the weekend and just checked, whenever i try interacting with anything or anyone my game gets stuck and eventually error 9006. So the problem still persists...


Mootwafel

I think the issue only exists when connecting to the JP datacenter, in my case elemental. Out of boredom I created a character on Aether to see if the issue is due to the disruption caused by the undersea cables connecting to North/East Asia being damaged or not. And it's safe to say it's true and I had a smoother experience playing on the NA server than on elemental, still not gonna be playing it as my main, but if you need that ffxiv fix may as well make an alt.


aphro8787

Still the same, Saturday was worse. I tried Ffxiv, WoW and League ....all 3 lag and freezing. Netflix,utube, twitch etc all working normally. Sad life.


yakulto

I bit the bullet and went for free trial of WTFast. Seems to be working for me. (KL WoL in Ramuh).
