Can't log on, multiple errors since last nights patch

I was playing fine last night until the maint/patch and all day i've been trying to get on.

The launcher is loading very slow or not at all like if I have no internet connection
If I get past that I get some error with a - in front and a bunch of numbers
If i'm lucky enough to get past that I get a 2002 error
and finally I get 90k errors trying to log in past the character page

I was able to get on for about 30 mins after restarting my router but since then all the computer restarts, ip flushes. or router restarts won't fix it

Any suggestions

edit: that long number error I was talking about is (a system error has occured -2146697211)

Ive been having the same error since the beta days for FFxiv ARR. Its either alot of players trying to log in or somethings up with your internet....But I leaned towards players trying to log into the game when the servers are already full. Hope they fix it soon.

Keep getting 2002 errors myself.

My internet seems fine, except for the FF14 site and game itself, have they addressed this or anything, kind of irritating

I'm having this problem as well. PS3 version.

Since the update, I haven't been able to get into the game on PS3. Sometimes it will let me log in and get as far as the main menu before it tells me the server's not responding and kick me back to the launcher, which will load the frames, but not the login boxes or news/topic highlights.

Sometimes it will tell me to register the code that came with the box (already done a month ago) and then bring up the following message:

A system error has occurred: -2147309046.

Or sometimes I'll get this:

Unable to complete version check.
[20447][20448][10009][10019]

Or this:

The server is not responding.

Yes, I know there's a link right there for their customer support. I already tried it, it's utterly useless. I try searching for the error codes it gave me and it says they don't exist.

If I continue pressing X to try and get in, it just keeps feeding me error message after error message. I was able to sign in every day with no problems before the update, but after downloading and installing it, my game is pretty much dead.

I even tried deleting the game and reinstalling it, but that didn't fix it at all.

Is there any way to fix this? I just finished my free month and paid for a subscription, so now my money is literally being wasted on a game I can no longer play.

Error 2002 here. I came back from long break ( i left cuz of massive lags dcs etc.) I decided to buy game time since its on full release for a time, and can't play at all. It really feels like i wasted money, and support reply on the issue is really worthless

Yeah, its a problem that the Dev Team will have to address very soon. My problem came up after I switched over to a wifi antenna for my pc rather then a ethernet cord but most other games I have played with the antenna had no problems except with this game. Need answers Squeenix!!!!

It's not the connections or the router settings, etc... It only started to be an issue after this last update (at least recently, can't say for alpha/beta). I'm re-installing the game to see if it is a corrupt install of the update. I doubt it, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Will update with results.

I doubt anything will be done UNLESS the Asian players are affected as well. It seems SE has a history in the past of catering to them, and ignoring all else.

Re-installed, I'm in.

So you just re-installed the game and you managed to get in? I know that the servers were congested and that is why the Error "2002" keeps popping up on alot of players launcher.

Update: I tried re-installing the game and repatching it, still did not work. Until they add new servers, there will be no chance of me and/or any other players trying to get in.

This is what worked for me.
Open game in window mode (i personally did reset system settings in launcher options) hit the start button and at moment when your connecting data center your anty-virus/firewall should popup a window asking if u want to allow new process (something must have changed in processes after patch) hit yes, and tahts what worked for me. Dont know why this popup wont appear on full-screen mode and why its appearing at all (i have FFXIV i exceptions folder). Nevertheless u can at least try this, maybe it'll help some1 else

The option for "Allow A New Process" never popped up for me. I even reset the options on my firewall back to default to make sure FFXIV wasn't on my list. But if I must wait til they add new servers, I will play other games in the mean time. As if the game itself is too smart to know that I have changed my firewall settings and still gives me the 2002 error lol I posted a problem yesterday in the morning on some info for Error 2002 http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ver-Congestion. Hope this helps out a bit!

It was the update, not the servers. I uninstalled my copy, then re-installed. After that it worked fine and have not had any issues since. When the world was full, it told me, and then entered me after my turn in queue. I'm playing at the moment in fact.
*If you've already re-installed, and it still does not work, and no hardware or software errors or issues that you can see are stopping you on your end. I don't know what to tell you. I believe it's the software. I would try to get a different, hopefully newer install file.*

There has been a number of complaints of server congestion. Hence why the error keeps appearing. Did you use a hard copy or a digital copy from the site? I bought a hard copy from Gamestop when I pre-ordered it awhile back. I havent had an issue till one day I wanted to hop on, and it the error came up. Many other sites are saying the congestion is causing the issue besides people not logging out so they can stay in game. But any answer is a helpful way!

This is in regards to a bug that apparently is happening to many people in all servers
Bug: Entering a instances then being kicked before it starts and then unable to log back in because game doesnt log out your character from instance-error 90000
This is not a problem with connection this is a bug.. for me it started after Jan 21 hotfixes but others started after big patch, I have never had any problems with this game before Jan 21. I see the minion animation bug has been fixed and ty.. but to pay for a service that cannot be played.. sure I can log in do fates, craft, chat, but as soon as I try to enter any instances the dreaded 90000 error.. now I know at least 3 people who have left game for this reason and seen prolly 50 people on my server have the same issue.. I have proof in the form of other players this bug kicks you then keeps you logged into game so you cannot log back in for hours sometimes days. Julius Maximus and Blood Star, Dylan Weaver, Rikku Moon, my whole fc and many others I could list have seen this bug affect me and others. I have played this game with no problems from the beginning this all seemed to start around Jan 21 for me anyways. I have also read in the forums many others stating this problem so I would hope you intend to rectify this problem. I have lost close to 2 weeks of game play, my static coil groups as well as beast tribe points, myth drops, etc that I will never be able to gain back.. its very disheartening to fall behind in game play when im a very active playing spending at least 5 hours a day on this game. I have had to play other MMO'S and games due to this 90000 error and am asking myself whether I should cancel my subscription with SE because to pay for a service that cannot be used seems wrong. I know this is a issue as I have read about it in hotfix problems and forums , Ive even had a moderator say it has already been brought to your attention, but fact is many people are having this problem and even leaving the game.. which I do not want too do as I love the game and have puts so much time into it its not even funny, but I cant play. I had 2 days free of this bug and thought wow its fixed but sigh it is not... please instead of updating and adding content focus on things like these errors people are having, dedicated players who are being turned off game. Like I said I love this game, it an amazing game that ive had no problem with since launch until recent, but there is a limit of errors to how much anyone can tolerate. Thank you

-this only affects my main character!!!!

Character: Lilium Syntt
World:Zalera
Bug :90000 disconnect from instances/game lock out
Time: ANytime instance entered
Frequency:Constant
Job/Class: Summoner
Party or Solo: Both

Thank you Lilium!!!! I have given it such great thought too of leaving the game till they fix the servers and other problems. I find it unfair to those who cant even log in and play while the rest go ahead with the new events and such. I hate to say this but if they dont fix it in next couple months, I will permanently move to Elder Scrolls Online which is releasing in April of this year and stick to it. I understand that FFXIV has alot of problems but I cant waste my time and money on something that is broken and it will take a long time to fix.

I swear im gonna keep bombing the forums till they fix it.. hundreds of people maybe thousands prolly are having server problems whether 90000 or lag, disconnects etc.. funny thing is most people could actually play game before the big patch. Something is very wrong .. it needs to be fixed

I have played Beta in the past and used up the 30 days. One day I got the error 2002 not too long ago and had it before I stopped for a few months. Alot of people been having it and its making me deciding to quit this game for good until they have a fix. I give it a year or less. The Devs needs to quit prancing around and work on getting new servers and tackling the problems. Getting tired of it myself.....Elder Scrolls Online seem more promising right now but have to wait til April when it comes out. =/

See above - the title says it all.

I am getting frustrated. :(

Indeed. I get attacked with the 2002 error all the time. There saying its congested servers to patch update problems.

All people in this post please either support mine or make your own bug report on this issue in bug section, as it will be seen by more moderators and support teams of SE..and if not enough comment on a bug they just let it slide by..

actually my problem is it crashes every time I try to select a character. this all happened after the patch. Whats going on? Is there a support number?

Even with the support number, they will give you the same answers as they give to everyone else. Your better off playing some other game for now til they fix the big issues.

I'm also facing the problem from OP.

Takes like a good 8++ tries before it gets through.

still crashing. no one seems to have an answer on the phone support. I am guessing this is not everyone's problem but I am not going to pay for this, so I cancelled the subscription. Wait to see if this gets fixed sometime down the road. Good luck.

I can manage to get into the game. After 10-20 minutes it kicks me out (error 90000). I have had no problems after i started playing 2 weeks ago, today it suddenly started doing it. I'm sure that the problems is not on our end, since everything else works fine, and the game has been working fine too, so far. We have to see tomorrow when there isn't so many people playing if that is the issue.
