Connecting to Data Center (Infinitely)
Hello,
Logging in through the launcher and coming to the main menu screen, I am met with an infinite "Connecting to data center". No error code is produced. More information below:
- Has been going on for 3 days
- Windows 10 / PC
- Wired Connection
- No recent changes to network
- Have tried disabling firewall
- Have power cycled modem and computer completely
- I have completed all of the following:
- Under the "General" tab, please delete ALL browser history.
- Under the "Security" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or no higher than "Medium"
- Under the "Privacy" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or to "Allow All Cookies"
- Under the "Advanced" tab, please make sure that "Allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid" is CHECKED.
- Make sure that all SSL and TLS (EXCEPT SSL 3.0) are CHECKED. [SSL 3.0 should be UNCHECKED]
- Hit "Apply" to save the settings, and then "OK, to close the Internet Options menu.
- Right-Click on the FFXIV launcher icon and select "Properties"
- Go to the "Compatibility" tab, and change the compatibility mode to "Windows 7"
- Hit "Apply", then "OK" to save the changes.
- Please RESTART your PC now. Once your PC has been restarted, Right-Click the FFXIV launcher icon once more and select "Run as Administrator"
- Open TCP ranges 54992 through 54994, 55006 through 55007, and 55021 through 55040
Edit: The 17th restart (and of course, 1st restart after making this post) seemed to do the trick. Please close this issue.
