HTTPS System error

Hi Square Enix !

Yesterday in the morning I've had terrible time to login in the game. The web site wasn't even respondind sometimes. And today it's the same.

Actually I've asked to some other people to try out, and it seems i'm not the only one to have difficulty about loggin in in the morning.

We always got HTTPS SYSTEM ERROR (Error : -2146697211)

What is happening ? Is that a DDOS Attack again ?

More players (including me) are reporting the same issue through the Technical Support section of the Forum: "Technical Support > Launcher Connection Error".

By the looks of it, the traffic that goes through Amsterdam (NL) to "*.square-enix.com" are experiencing the issue. Mostly because the problem isn't isolated to just the game, but the website, Mogstation, Customer support site and the official forums.

Players are circumventing the issue by using a (free) VPN application and making a connection through a different country. At least, up till the point you've gone through the Authentication process and are ready to start the game.

But, what ever you do, don't reinstall the game! The Client will need to be downloaded from the same location where the issue is related to.

Also been having this a lot recently

Same here :( Very slow connection to forum. Game not letting login.
