Near Constant Lobby Server Error 2002

Hi!

Ever since the 3.1 patch update, I have been experiencing near constant error 2002 lobby errors upon trying to access the character select screen. It will load to an empty screen, then crash most of the time.

I have tried the following:
Running as Administrator
Switching from DX11 to DX9
Updating all of my drivers (NVidia Geforce)
Restarting my computer
Restarting my router
Deleting my network profile and remaking it
Turning off startup programs

None of this has helped :/

It is difficult since the issue is inconsistent. There are times that I can run FFXIV just fine, but most of the time I cannot even select my character.

Oftentimes when I do manage to get on my character, I get 90002 errors and disconnect. I also suffer from extreme lag that crops up at times.

It's very frustrating, since lately my game experience has been hoping I can log on, and then also hoping that I can stay logged on if I even do manage to get online in the first place. I haven't been able to run dungeons with my friends for awhile and it's honestly driving me nuts.

Any help would be so, so much appreciated. Or, chip in if you're having the same problem. I can't be the only one...

I'm having a very similar problem. I get to the character select screen, but when I try to enter the game after selecting a character, it first gives me a lobby error (10105 if I'm not mistaken) and throws me back to the main menu. After which, it either fails to load when I try to enter the game or lets me get to character select again, but in either case it gives me error 2002 and closes altogether. This has been happening since the maintenance yesterday.

I am having similar problems too. Error 2002, error 10105, and a lengthy error at lobby at times, unable to complete version check
