After messing around with some command prompts when I was having issues, I discovered that my game freezes were associated with VERY high spikes in ping between my provider (Rogers in Canada) and the FFXIV servers.
Now Rogers isn't the best. It's honestly poop considering its one of the big companies here. But considering before 7.01 I had no issues playing, this is new. And I mean... these lag spikes are HUGE.
Taking 10 seconds to get on a mount, T posing, no response from buttons for several seconds. Unplayable. Spikes from 300-3500 when my normal is 90-100. And these happen Every 2-3 minutes sometimes more often. I even had a technician out today to my home to check my internet, and they swapped my modem and did all they could, and I am STILL experiencing issues as bad as ever.
I also hear a lot of complaints about it from others while on hunt trains. Yes, hunt trains are bound to have lag because of the sheer numbers of people, but the last few days have actually been HORRIBLE. As in, we think the mark has been sniped because it takes well over a minute to even load. And I've got a very good PC! I can't imagine what it's like on PCs that are lower end.
If it's still like this for savage... oof.
