A quick survey of people affectedFollow

#1 Mar 12 2007 at 1:13 AM Rating: Decent
I'll add a poll as soon as I work out if a non-premium user can and how to do it.

Could people state in the thread whether they:

1.) Live in the US and are having problems with FFXI
2.) Live in the US and are not having problems with FFXI
3.) Live in Europe and are having problems with FFXI
4.) Live in Europe and are not having problems with FFXI
5.) Live in Japan and are having problems with FFXI
6.) Live in Japan and are not having problems with FFXI

If we can narrow this down it may help in pinpointing a problem in routing (if there is one) and should hopefully start to clear up all the "OMG IT'S SES FAULT" and "NO IT'S URE ISPS FAULT" arguments.

Alternatively it might prove nothing :)

Before anyone informs me, I know there are people who live in "None of the Above" but this was just a general enquiry.

I come under the "Live in Europe and are not having problems with FFXI" banner.

EDIT: Just to clarify, this is for people who are having problems Since the March 9th Update.

You have to be premium to do it I think.

Which applies to you?
Having connection problems - USA:138 (54.3%)
No connection problems - USA:76 (29.9%)
Having connection problems - Europe:20 (7.9%)
No connection problems - Europe:19 (7.5%)
Having connection problems - Japan:0 (0.0%)
No connection problems - Japan:1 (0.4%)
Total:254

I've been having trouble for months now. Though thats due to ISP and not FFXI. My phone doesnt even work though my internet does. Well when i say it does i mean it varies. One day its ok next it isnt.

One vote for US and no problems. I doubt this will ever give accurate results, as the amount of Japanese users who post here is very slim, boredering on none.

I'm only having problems since last week's update. I can't zone into Buburimu without DC'ing. No matter how I try. Not from Tahrongi nor OP nor from Mhaura. Everything was fine before.

I live in the U.S, westside and haven't experienced any connection issues.
I guess I am lucky.

Europe, No problem.

I did manage to get my AH and /sea functions to work 50% of the time after changing router and ISP though. But that is kind of unrelated (and happened before patch)

Edit: btw when I voted it was pretty much 50-50 problem-no-problem.

I feel offended by this thread, as it totally ignores other countries in America (Hello... Canada? {Where?}=.= ), as well as some other Asian countires besides Japan (Korea {Where?} Taiwan {Where?}).... O.o
















Anyway, let's put the kiddings asides. :P I'm from Vancouver Canada, and I had problem with Acquiring Player Data that was fixed with changing MAC Address of the Router. Unfortunately, my zone-dc problem, which existed even before the update, is still there and it's really making me going crazy now ><

I was having the R0 myself, and all I was doing was sitting in my mog house chatting with my LS. I hadn't heard anyone shout about it or anything since all I did was sit in my secluded area surounded by Tarutaru stools... But alas, I digest.

Just letting people know how I cleared it up, I finally decided to leave my mog house and see what the sun looked like, and how many people would be shouting about the R0 problem. To my surprise, not one shout about the R0 issue, probably because I showed up way late and everyone was done complaining and were just living with it like I was. About 20 seconds after leaving my mog house, I R0 again. Then I DC. So I reboot my modem and router, restart POL, reconnect, now everything is fine. Maybe I just got lucky? Maybe it really is a problem on our side? (<---I doubt that myself, seeing how many people are having the issue)

But a simple reboot patched me up, I hope it clears up for the rest of you as well.

Some people claim this problem is not regional, but it may be not the cast at all. My Japanese Limbus group today run with full members with no complaints of outage, and so is my Taiwanese friend nor has experienced any issues.I can check with my Australian friends too, but I know one of them has no issues at all. I myself has random R0s in some areas, but problem seems very isolated. Only 4 zones I had seen that happening, and is fixed immediately by refreshing my IP.

Let just hope this issue is not caused by something hard to detect. Or something very fundemental but hard to fix -- like a hardware and wiring failure. I still don't buy the theory about the update. Coincidence happens all the time.

Voted - Europe - Having problems.

Nothing seemed amiss on Friday, someone on ls commented they had problems with Port San d'Oria and someone else was asking about the 4001 error but no one else seemed to experience any problems and because both problems had been described differently we didn't realise these two peeps were both having the same problem.

Logged in Sat lunch time in to Aht Arghan, all fine, then I warp (My usual HP is Northern San d'Oria MH exit). I warp and then R0 - the % bar slowly plummets until it goes red and reaches 0% and about a minute later staring at a black screen with the 4001 error.

Try again. Same result. See something on Alla about being able to run across zone, thought "Um, really? Surely it just puts you back to where you were when you hit R0." but tried it anyway and ran to Southern San d'Oria. Screen went completely back, waited until I got the 4001 and tried again.

This time success. Though now it seemed I was blocked from Northern San d'Oria and thus my Outpost Warps.

By this time several people from my ls were having similar problems with varying zones. I set my HP to Southern San d'Oria and the rest of the day I avoided Northern San d'Oria, encountering no further problems elsewhere.

Then Sunday gets weird. I had logged out on Saturday in Southern San d'Oria. Logged in on Sunday fine. Tried to zone to Northern San d'Oria and fine. (/hurray)

Went to Jeuno to get ready for Limbus, no problems there, went to Mea and into Sea and all was good. Then I zone into Apollyon and bang! R0 >.<

Waited to get kicked, tried again, same result, so I had to go on a mule and send a tell to explain I could not get into Apollyon. I was pretty pissed tbh because I really like Limbus.

I waited until a friend finished Limbus and we both logged and she logged in as my and got me warped back to Southern San d'Oria. This is where it gets weird, I log back on, exit MH and R0 :s

Note I had done nothing except change chars and log from POL whilst my friend got me unstuck so I am not truly sure about this changing IP idea that is going around (which I haven't tried yet) and whether it would work.

3. Live in Europe and are having problems with FFXI

That's mine. And the problem shifts around, too. Refreshing IP only changes which zones are broken for me, or sometimes doesn't allow login to the game at all. And yet people I know who also use Tiscali, some of them haven't had this issue at all. It's astounding!

I am on Tiscali and I am having problems but tbh I don't blame Tiscali for them (in fact I seem to be one of the luckier Tiscali customers from what I have seen on their forums lol).

I'm pretty convinced SE have done something that is causing this or at the very least that something else outside of SE but not specific to our ISPs or anything we have done is, in which case a large company like SE might like to look into this as it is affecting a sizable proportion of their customer base.

If SE still want to claim their servers are absolutely fine then I can accept but be nice for them to say they will investigate further and see if they can track down the source of the problem.

So far haven't had any problems as of yet, I'm in the USA with Comcast as my ISP. I did have problems back earlier this year when Comcast took over Adelphia in my area but was able to fix that by changing my Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from using a set IP address to it obtaining a IP address automatically; not sure if that helped me avoid this problem but I know a few people mentioned changing IP addresses so who knows.

Though from my experience quite a few people have been R0'ing/stuck in zones that I've been seeing so there is definately something SE changed that is making some people's current settings incompatible or something else I hope people are able to resolve this mess :(
