[re-resolved] FFXIV connection from Uruguay to EU servers is back to 2021 speeds

For about 36h now my ping to the German nodes, which used to be in the 160-170ms range, has shot up to 220-230ms. This is about the same speed as I get without Mudfish, though generally Mudfish makes my connection more stable at the very least. A competitor running on a VM claims to achieve 160-170ms (though I have yet to figure out how to actually connect the game through this setup) so a faster route still exists. Should Mudfish not be able to mitigate route issues to Europe if I’m using multipath with both a node near me and one near the destination?

Edit: It’s fixed now, thank you! Mudfish is the best option for me on account of being the only service of its type that supports Linux and I would hate to have to switch to a competitor, not only are they much pricier, I would also have to install Windows and boot to it whenever I want to play.

Cool! :slight_smile: I hope now everything goes well with mudfish. Please let me know if there are any other problems.

It’s happening again right now, all German nodes are in the 220-230ms range; this started at some point in the last 7-8h. I can’t test with the competitor without buying a subscription there (which considering I wasn’t able to make the game connect in my current setup would be very wasteful), but can you please check the routes?

Edit: Resolved for now, thank you! Out of curiosity, is this an EllaLink issue?

Frankly speaking no idea what happened at your ISP level. In a view of Mudfish, we didn’t do any things.. :slight_smile: Might be a issue which comes from somewhere (might be not touchable).

Oh, that’s not my ISP, it’s a submarine cable linking South America to Europe. I don’t know if it’s where Mudfish’s traffic goes through but at some point after it went live my ping to Europe improved significantly.
