Frequent Packet Loss

[RSS News]

I have been having frequent packet loss as of late that has been making the game thoroughly unenjoyable. What's bothering me is that it was working fine until I moved it to a newer drive. When it started acting up I decided to uninstall and reinstall on the previous drive and it did not want to install. I was finally able to reinstall by changing DNS from Googles DNS to Level 3's and going to my FFXIV folder to uncheck the read only box. Now experiencing packet loss and as my ISP told me it is not on their end I tried disabling upnp to try forwarding ports, resetting modem/router(even bought a new set), flushing, fresh install of both windows and FFXIV, QoS, adjusting in game graphic settings, VPN, large send offload, different DNS servers, different ethernet cables and that whole internet explorer settings fix. I feel dumb and unsure of what to do next. Please help..
