I've been playing since 2014 and I've never experienced this lag with brief disconnections before. I changed my wifi modem recently, yes, but it's way better than the other I had and I'm using 5.8 Ghz now.
I contacted the ffxiv support today and the only thing I couldn't change or correctly check from the list of solutions, are the ports.
Is it a big deal if they are closed? Could that truly be what is making the game unplayable for me?
I can play with no problems at all:
- ESO
- BDO
- Steam co-op games (hosted by me)
- Archeage Unchained
- Anthem
- Forza Horizon 4
No internet issues. Same PC and Internet connection.
My ISP can't change the ports for me. I must buy a router and do it myself. Is it worth it or there is something else going on here?
Also, I can't directly connect the modem to the PC for reasons. I never needed that anyway. My internet plan's speed is 300 mb.
I can run any game on max settings and every driver is up to date.
Tracert fails on hops 5,8,10,11 every time.
