    Moved from California to Europe, having lagging issues on PS4

    Hey so I moved from CA to Europe, and even though I'm on a very good connection (100mb/s, getting around 70mb/s connected via ethernet to the PS4) I'm having severe hiccups in XIV on my PS4.

    I'm not lagging out, per se, and the game won't kick me, but it will periodically drop down to 0 sending every 10-15 seconds or so. Running simple things such as expert roulette is excruciating because half the time it does not even register my attacks.

    Anything that can be done? Is it simply the distance from the servers (on Midgardsormr)? Anything I can alter on the PS4 end or ingame that may help this? I'm not having any other issue with any other online game but this.

    I would start with attempting to set up port forwarding if you haven't already. Also see if you find any issues with the ISP and FFXIV? Best place to start seeing if the general google population has had similar issues and how they've gone about it.

    If google and other avenues don't help, you could possibly try wtfast or some other vpn-type service to see if that gets around it in some way.

    Does wtfast work for PS4? If yes, then try that for sure

    Your bandwidth means nothing. I don't get why people always post things like "I have 50mb up/down and yet this game lags!". If you have 1mb up/down you can have max speed in pretty much any modern game.

    What matters is your route to the server. You're making a ton of hops through a series of routers, and if any of these hops are having issues, you may drop packets or see increased ping times. Run traceroute or winMTR to see where the issues are. If there's a hop that's killing you, try using a VPN service to get around it.

    You can use VPNs as a PS4 user, but you'll have to configure them on the router usually.
