Been experiencing this since maintenance on Monday, the game is nigh-unplayable for me -- especially if I'm in combat.
After being back to normal for a few days after the hotfix patch. Out of nowhere, I am having 90k disconnects again today. I'm at a loss.
I'm having the same issues. I can barely run alliance raids as this is when I seen the problem the most. My receiving ping would barely go over 200 in the past but now since the last hotfix I'm getting around 15K now then I will crash with 90K disconnect. While I did reach out to my ISP they can find nothing wrong on my end. I did some testing and after I disconnect with 90k error I attempt to get on the net and run some speed test and everything is testing out find. I just don't know what else to do.
I experience this almost everyday, multiple times a day.
At first i got that 90002 error and after that now all i've been getting is 2002 errors.
Keep getting 90k'd, when I do make it into the datacentre, I get hit by 2002 while it tries loading my character.
And on the few times i've actually made it into the game, everything just freezes after 10-20 seconds before 90k again
I'm really at a loss for what to do. I've been playing the game relatively fine for the last few days, with the occasional disconnect.
I'll log in as normal, connect... Sometimes it 2002's me straight away. Sometimes, i can connect to the server and try logging in as a character.
...In the event i'm able to, it will disconnect me after around 30 seconds to a minute, with a 90002 error... And then when i try connecting to a data center again, gives me the 2002 error.
I've tried resetting my router, but with no difference. Any advice will be helpful!
At first I got that "90002 error" and after that now all I've been getting is "2002 error" on PS4.
I have to express some frustration and to proclaim the issue is not on our end. Even if there is something I can do on my end to make it more playable or less likely to disconnect... that shouldn't fall on us to do. I can play literally any other online game and not have this level of difficulty with disconnects, I can browse the internet in general without any issues, I have a very solid connection when downloading or uploading... it's literally just this game, and it baffles me that a company as large as Square Enix is struggling so much with stable connectivity. Internet protocols have evolved very slowly, and while brands of hardware may vary, the overall workings of internet connection do not vary that significantly. How do you fail to handle the basic elements of connectivity this much?
Over these last posts listed I have done more tinkering research and troubleshooting than I have ever done for any other video game, and if you'll pardon a bit of impertinence, a fair amount more than I think any of us should have to do.
At this point I could write a guide on all the steps a player can take to try to fix issues on their end. I know, 90002 is a generic disconnect error. There could be a myriad of ways it could be caused. However, when we've diagnosed the software, hardware, contacted customer support and ISP, tweaked advanced settings I've never had to do before for drivers... what else is there to even do? This isn't our fault.
I'll keep an eye on things here to see if anyone has more ideas for a solution. Ultimately, though, I'm utterly fatigued of it and resigning my own efforts to look into this further.
