The lobby server connection has encountered SE....

2002... the only data center I cannot connect to, the one with my characters on it, aether... come on...I even uninstalled the game and re-installed, re-patched, wtf SE...come on

Same problem with Aether.

Same thing on primal - behemoth...

cerberus affected too

Anyone still having this issue because I am still getting the lobby errors...

I'm getting the same error Aether and Balmung.

Edit: I turned off my firewall and that did the trick.

Just did a test login for first time since patching last night, and firewall went bonkers with pop-ups. All the new versions of the executables, and a new IP got thrown into the mix for my Midgard connection: 199.91.189.25. Was still using .74 when at the lobby, after picking the data server recommended for Midgard--but when I got in game I was now on .25 instead of .31.

Once I set the exceptions, went straight into my room at the Inn no problem. Might want to double check your security logs to see if anything new is getting captured that needs to be white-listed.
