POL Error 4001 [PLEASE] POL Error 2050

[Thebombdotcom]

Given the preciseness of 30min intervals, now that we've ruled out power settings as a cause, I'm leaning towards it being a DCHP issue. Please try the following, when you are on your home network:

1. Hit Windows key > type: cmd
2. Right-click "Command Prompt" in the search results and select "Run as Administrator"
3. In the command prompt screen, type: ipconfig /all

You should be seeing something similar to this below. (I censored out my own info, but you should get the picture.)



The only parts we care about right now are the dates/times listed for "Lease Optained" and "Lease Expires". I suspect that when you check, they will be set for exactly 30min apart. If this is true, then unless you are comfortable with the idea of mucking about in your router's firmware, you will probably need to contact your ISP and have them increase the lease duration to at least 24hrs. Please let me know the results of your tests. ^^

(In my case, I have it set to the maximum that my router will allow, which is over 3 months, but the maximum number of devices on my network is always the same 3 devices. If you have tons of devices connecting to your network, don't set it anywhere near this high.)

So I tried the ipconfig/all command.. my results were: Lease Obtained..... Saturday, November 17, 2018 4:40:40pm
Lease Expires...... Monday, November 26, 2018 11:23:38pm

XD Well, that would match up with the reset done by your very dedicated tech. I was hoping to get the original settings, but if you are still having the problem with the new settings, then that would rule out DCHP settings at least.

The only thing that I can think of at this point is a very dusty memory of having to do "something" when I first started playing this game way back at PS2 launch because I had a similar problem (but was on *gasp* dial-up back then.) It had something to do with the type of connections the game makes and the fact that their server was in Japan. Kinda sorta think it was needing a static IP and think my ISP might've done something to my account when I called them... mighta been a port issue too? But this was a PS2 on dial-up before cable internet existed...

Unfortunately, my brain is a jerk and is refusing to tell me any details about a 16yo memory. ._. If I manage to dredge up anything helpful, I'll let you know.

I'm having the same error code recently and it is on going. Sometimes I hit the 30 minute mark then sometimes I dc in a matter of less then 10 min. I honestly think its square enix. All my other games work perfectly fine with my connection and computer. I play a lot of Fortnite and I don't have issues like this.
