Stuck on Connecting to Data Server
Hi! Going on for almost 2 full days as of this post, I've been unable to play at all. The last time I actually played was Thursday the 25th. Upon trying to load up the game, I make it through until the main menu screen with the Stormblood emblem and such on it and press the Start button. At this point, the game seemingly is stuck in a loading loop where it is attempting to connect. I am playing on the Steam version of FFXIV, and with over 3000 hours poured into the game, I've never had something so gamebreaking happen.
Things i've done to try to fix this issue:
Restart computer
Restart router
Uninstall (Including going and making sure EVERYTHING was out of the folder) followed by a reinstall.
Attempted to launch without anti-virus and firewall active.
Made sure all my drivers are up to date.
When stuck on this loading screen, I have left it going up to half an hour with no change.
Edit 1/28/2018: Suddenly working again for no reason, don't understand what or why but not questioning it.
