Concerning the Connectivity Issue (Apr. 5)

We understand some players are currently experiencing connectivity issues when attempting to log in to FINAL FANTASY XI or while traveling through various areas in FINAL FANTASY XI.

Our team of technicians investigated and confirmed that our FINAL FANTASY XI servers are working properly, and our service is not experiencing any technical difficulties at this time. However we are continuing to investigate the exact cause of the issue and will make every effort to assist in remedying it.

If you are having connectivity issue at this time, try connecting to FINAL FANTASY XI again at later time.

Yeah, sounds familiar.

Yeah, except it's still going on this morning when it was happening to me last night. I can't even log on to my mule to get the shit out of my D.Box which pretty much means I can't job change on my main. YAY SE.

Got stuck in Bhaf Thickets last night...figures, first night I've had time to merit in weeks, and I R0 continually. Mule in jeuno can log in instantly, no issues; main in bhaf. thickets takes about 30s to get past the 'downloading data' part, then it's just up and down on r0, trying to load, r0 again.

Went so far as to do a filecheck, then a full reinstall (had some ram go south, figured something w/ thickets zone got borked on the reinstall after reinstalling my desktop); still downloading the update now....wish I'd seen this before I wasted the time doing this

I just had this issue in Eastern Altepa on Bismarck. When I finally managed to zone to Western Altepa, thre was a guy on a chocobo there, so I asked if he had troube in Eastern Altepa. He didn't have trouble, but he's on PS2 and I'm on PC.

Ifrit Server is "Partially Down"....wonder if any other server is next?

I R0 everytime, I enter Rolanberry Fields [S]

I was able to get moved out of Undersea Ruins by a GM.

I placed the call from my mule and stated in the request that I wanted to talk to a GM, not an auto reply. The first time I placed the request I received the same automatic 'our servers are fine, call the helpdesk' message others had received.

It was a very long wait, over 100 people ahead of me, but the GM did actually talk to me. He said they were flooded with similar issues and that it could be ISP related, he asked who my ISP was and where they were located. He then said he might be able to move me from the problem zone if I was able to log in enough to be interacted with. Essentially he said to try logging on to my main character right that moment and send him tells and he would move me if he could. I did this and just spammed tells at him saying to please move me and that I was not able to tell if he was getting the tells. I timed out shortly afterwards but when I went to log back in I had been moved to Whitegate, where I did not have any issues.

Obviously this does not help with my R0 issues in the zone, but it is a possible solution to getting out of zones which required you to talk to an NPC, Runic Portal, etc.

When you put in the GM request just be very clear that you want to actually talk to the GM, and not get the automated reply and that you require being moved to escape the zone.

Hopefully they get this fixed soon. And of course 35 Usu feet dropped while I was not able to join my salvage group =(

I'm having the problem in white gate, except my character doesn't load on the screen... its just staying black the whole time.

Tav Safehold for me

I've been stuck in the Port Jeuno airship dock since 2am-ish last night (STILL this morning). I can't stay on long enough to get past the doors. I tried calling a GM on my mule to move me but there were like 124 calls ahead of me-- waited several hours then said fuck it. This is quite lame.

Areas that are fucked for me (that I know of):

-North Sandy (no outposts)
-Port Jeuno (no Limbus)
-Lower Jeuno

[Kriz]

Both my mule and I are stuck at Windy Woods. I can't get past the loading screen on my PC (guess I will try PS2)...

Someone in Technical Support section said disabling sound in FFXI config worked for him, so I tried it as well and I haven't had any problems since either. I have no idea why that would matter, but it seems it helps.

[Garret]

When you say it helps do you mean it fixes it, or that it is just somewhat better?

[Clave]

Problem is gone altogether now.

[jPuff]

It "works" I guess as a TEMP solution, but we better not have to wait til next patch or some shit for them to fix this :/ I like having sound.

[shirak]

R0 two nights ago on my alt in South Sandoria.

R0 as soon as entered on my main in Bhaf remnants yesterday.


Basically it logs you in at a crawl speed, slowly goes to r0, then bounces between r0 and r400 going from 0r to r30 until you finally get enough of a R0 to keck you out. I started just ctrlaltdel.

Really a pain.

I did notice that the player selection screen music carried over to ingame so I figured it was sounds as well, glad to hear theres a fix and that I wasn't the only one!

[Garret]

Seems fixed now, at least for myself and another LS member without using the sound config thing.

[Kiehl]

Just installed WoG and R0 in Batallia Downs [S]. Best expansion ever.

[Celebrindor]

been getting it in Mount Zhaylom and Sanctuary of Zi'Tah, not sure about other areas yet.

Thank god I went to both BLM, so was eventually able to force a warp on myself that I didn't see go off but saw the MP disappear from my bar and next logon, back in Whitegate.


Thanks for the tip on sound though, at least its a fix until SE stops being pompous and saying its everyone else's problem except theirs.

Whoever designed maps to have door closed initially should be fired.

The common trick was to run around and try to reach a zoneline and hope it wasnt a zone you were having problems with. However many zones now have "click to exit" or "closed doors" which make the matters worse.

I've still noticed wonky S/R speeds but the main bulk of the issue seems to be resolved.
