Does your game look like this

I found this video online after seeking answers for why my game looks like this. Any help would be great to solving this issue.

I think this is just a result of latency. You could see something similar in XI if your connection was quite bad, and it just seems to be how SE handles it.

 

Instead of seeing others teleport due to bad latency, in XIV they just seem to stop and then when it catches up the server shows them running at a crazy speed.

 

As I'm playing from China on the NA servers, on a bad day all I see is this to extreme lengths. On a good day it's there but only slightly, so I don't really notice it.

 

I have no idea how you can go about fixing it, though.

So if Im hearing you correct it is just the Game? Just want to make sure before I start fiddling with things I ought not fiddle with.

Yes and no. It's nothing to do with your graphics card or anything like that, if that's what you're primarily worried about.

 

Basically, your (internet) connection is just having a hard time sending/receiving the information from the servers.

 

(Just to clarify the earlier post for you. )

That's what happens when servers have been smashed to ruble in two days.

Yeah, what Kaoru said! Sorry if I wasn't clear.

 

It's how the game handles internet connections, basically. Tweaking graphics and such won't 'fix' it. The only 'fix' is a faster/more reliable internet connection, as far as I'm aware.  

 

It'll probably get better when the servers calm down and there isn't hundreds of people running around in each zone causing so much data to go back and forth, though! At least that's my hope.

My game doesn't look like that at all. There were no carbuncles in your video. 

 

Seriously though... It's your internet. If your internet is slow for any reason, it will struggle with running the game smoothly, even more so in areas with a lot of PCs present.

That's pretty bad. Had a couple of lag spikes but nothing like that happened. The odd bit of jitteryness for a few seconds when in a highly populated zone or a quest NPC taking like 10 seconds to appear on screen.
