Error (30002) Disconnecting every 30 minutes / sometimes not?.

Details:
Since around the 11th of June, I have begun losing connecting to the game frequently. When it happens I will r0 with a version of the (30002) error. The disconnections from the game are really infrequent and change often, but it's most definitely unplayable and exceptionally annoying! considering this problem never existed for me since release, I literally changed nothing > went to sleep and woke up to this.


See this thread for the issue / a very similar one.

Errors:
(30002)1307790448,10589983,5
(30002)1307861441,11476074,5
(30002)1307861332,10589983,5
(30002)1307867361,10589983,5
(30002)1307867357,11476074,5
"and many more variations."

Steps:

1. Log in and play the game normally, hoping to hold connection.
2. Randomly r0 and lose connection, receving a (30002) error, and dropping to the character selection screen.
3. Sometimes I am able to log in within 1 minute of being booted to the character selection screen, other times I will be locked out for 5-10 minutes, with a "13001 The lobby server connection has encountered an error. Error Code 3102, Status:0" message.


Date & Time: June. 11th, 2011 sometime on this day,
Frequency: On and off, sometimes it will happen for hours, or it will give me a few hours off.
Platform: PC
PC Manufacturer & Model Number: Homebuilt Computer
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
ISP: Internode
Type of Internet Connection: ADSL, connecting directly to the modem.

Attempted Fixes:

Ports are forwarded
New Modem/Router
Turned all antivirus and firewalls off
New Network Card
Hours on the phone with my ISP troubleshooting
Also tried all the fixes listed in the forum link above

ISP says:
Trace routes prove fine until it hits their network.
Tried routing through different LNS's (one in sydney, one in perth) - no difference.
Pings to every other website is fine.
Packetloss only to central server.
Problem is not ISP side.

Good luck getting an answer. This happened to me for 8 days. Never got a response on how to fix it. My errors seemed to have stopped for now.

Yeah it's seeming totally random right now, yesterday had me thinking it was going to continue non stop, and make the game unplayable.

Today it's still happening, but it's very infrequent, hoping for it to just fix itself.. the same way it broke.

edit: Reading your post though, your problem seemed different then mine?

The last 10 or so times this r0 (130002) error has occurred, I have started refreshing a few of the open tabs in my browser, to see if they are affected / lagging.

Every time the error in game occurs, and I am booted. The loadstone and the FF14 forums sites will take longer to load, then display a cannot connect to this server error, while any other site works... what would this mean?.

"The connection has timed out. The server at forum.square-enix.com is taking too long to respond."

Only happening on the FF14 forums / Loadstone when I r0 from game, non SE sites aren't affected in this way.

I just had this same exact problem last night. Only the lodestone was affected, and while I could get on FFXIV, I would r0 90% of the time, and within 30 mins I'd be d/c.

Yeah sounds like what is happening with me, the problem seemed to go away almost for 2 full days, it's back in full force now, been a few weeks.. can hardly play!

Just shits me that it's been perfect since release, then it decided to become like this one day.

Maybe open your ports it sound like pocket lost also if someone using the internet to download something like utorrent for say it would D/c you.

Yeah I've had all the ports forwarded since release sadly :( cheers though, I'm the only one using the internet, it's nothing as simple as downloading while playing sadly.

I've enjoyed perfect play since release, up until I made this thread around 3 weeks ago. I've been playing other online games now, but I usually keep FFXIV open to monitor some r0's, but yeah this issue is ONLY with FFXIV, my internet / other online games aren't affected when I r0 from FFXIV.

ISP seems to be sure the problem is not with them.

ISP says:

Pings to every other website is fine.

Even the FFXIV Lodestone and forums load terribly slow now... it's gotten worse if anything.

The same has happened to me since I've started playing. My internet was just peachy until then too, and I've tried all the steps to no avail. Apparently the problem is that this will happen during peak hours. If I play outside these hours (Usually 11:00 AM to about 6:00 PM, PST) I am fine, but that's still the greater chunk of my waking day. Hopefully this is fixed before they start charging us monthly.

It most be issue with your ISP i have no problem with FFXIV or the website that last time i got that d/c error was around first few month of release. It may be issue with your ISP and working with FFXIV.

I've been playing FFXIV flawlessly since the last phase of open beta, and through the Collector's Launch. And up until the last Server maintenance, I had never had a problem. Now I get randomly disconnected within minutes of starting a Guildleve, or I get a 30002 error after selecting a character. I managed to log in at about 7pm EST today for about 15 minutes for long enough to run back to camp, and then I disconnected, and haven't been able toget back in since. I've tried everything listed on the Support site FAQs, and even submitted an e-mail ticket, but it's not getting me anywhere, and it's not seeming to get this issue resolved. Hopefully if enough people are posting about this ridiculousness on the forums here we'll get a response, and maybe even a solution.

it could be the way your ISP routes to japan servers.

Hey guy... I used to have the same problem but I have had 0 DCs since.

I used to DC 300002 right when I logged in and randomly during gameplay. I thought for sure it was the game or my setup. I too did all the firewall, port, virus scan yada yada and nothing worked.

Out of frustration... I went out and picked up the best NETGEAR wireless router I could find and BOOM... not a single drop... EVER.

Initial setup: Wireless G into Cable Broadband with 2% packet loss as reported by pingtest.net and my lappy tweaked beyond belief.

Current setup: New wireless N into cable broadband with 0% packet loss and running ALL services, firewall, anti-virus, no port forwarding so essentially... default install. I didn't have to do anything to Windows at all...

In the end it was my crappy wireless router. No joke... I used to DC so much It was embarrassing.

Yeah, FF14 is -super- picky about dropped packets. Even without upgrading to a new router, just plugging my computer in with a hard line helped tremendously. I would suggest, if you are on /any/ wireless and having issues, plug in a hard line, give it a try. If that fixes it, you know what the issue is. If you have to use wireless, upgrading may be your only choice.

Still getting these issues almost two weeks in. SE's tech support simply told me, "it'll work itself out."

Okay, so this may be another issue. Several people reported this similar issue, except that they could connect to their character without problem on other people's computers / installs.

Make a folder on your desktop. Go into your documents / my games / final fantasy / and move everything in there into the folder on your desktop. If you don't mind making your macros again, re-arranging your widgets, chat colors, etc., then just try the game again. If you have a WHOLE lot of customizations (and who doesn't?) you can move your users folder back into the FF folder.

Its a generic fix that fixes a shit ton of random problems, so good luck!

This has happened to me too. Most commonly someone else in my house is torrenting (do you have any torrents open?), which clogs up whatever connection FFXIV needs. If I get the torrents turned off, the problem has always gone away instantly.

My problem magically fixed itself... nice one.
