90k... getting old.

Anyone else fed up of 90k 3mins from the end of a daily roulette. Getting really tiresome...

I wonder if we should make some birthday cakes for 90k in around 5 months.

Wait... these are still a thing?

My friend has been getting 90002 a lot recently.

Yeah I still get them a couple times a week, mostly at the beginning of the week. Most of the time I can get back in quickly enough, but it did suck that time I was tanking Ultima (and then Garuda) and just 90k'd out at a critical point....

I'm getting fed up with 90k during crafting. If I get even one 90k in a day then I simply won't craft anything that has any value.

I haven't gotten a 90k without my internet dropping(because of the router or just a service hiccup) or instance servers going haywire(I'm looking at you Coil) since launch o.O

I never really get 90k's but i've been hit with several the past two days :S

90k really just means you lost connection from the server for one reason or another.

Wonder what's going on if some people are hitting it frequently though.

I've been getting them a lot as well these past few days. The usual lagspikes coupled with the R0, into 90K. At first I thought it was my ISP but then I saw other people getting those issues as well. I'm starting to think it's a S-E issue again.

I really only get 90k in instances. The weird thing is that I never lose connection to my router at those points. Everything else, except FFXIV, still works.
Really sucks when you're healing an instance and can't get back in 'cause of the other error (still logged in bs)

It may be worth complaining to your ISP and have them take a look at your stuff... This winter I was 90K about once an hour every night for 2 months straight even though everything else in the house seemed fine, so I assumed it was the game. Then all of a sudden one week everything in my house was having issues, Netflix on PS3, youtube on wife's laptop, etc. They finally set up an appointment after the 3rd day and when the guy got there he said they were replacing a bunch of stuff at the main box for my neighborhood and also replaced all my equipment inside. Game has run pretty great ever since.

So, if you have messed with Firewall settings reset your equipment, etc etc - I know it could be a long shot and won't work for everyone but it does seem that this game is a bit more sensitive to internet than other stuff. You may try replacing a router or get a new modem, worth a shot.

What I wonder is if people will ever start realizing that 90k is simply an error code designating that you got disconnected. It could be caused by dozens of different reasons. Every time someone says "this still happens?" an angel dies from the sheer lack of knowledge in that sentence.

I didn't start getting it till about 2 weeks ago. Up until then I hardly ever dc'd and couldn't really understand what people were complaining about lol. But just yesterday (Wednesday) alone I 90k'd about 4 times.

Pretty sure people realise they've been disconnected.

Where the annoyance comes from is when it only happens in duty finder or your whole party gets kicked out with 90k's at the same time. I don't think that's an isp issue.

Thank you for your carefully crafted response. However...

This is what I'm talking about. People clearly don't understand that there are multiple causes for 90k. 90k isn't a specific error. It is just a code. As the quote I just posted shows some people STILL think it is more than just an error code.

If it's during a heavily congested day, when more people than normal are trying to do instances, they cannot just add servers to support that kind of load. It's not economical.

90k is nothing more than a internet connection lost. Could be server, could be you or your isp.

Asking if anyone getting it kinda seems pointless. *unless the exception being, server wise drop*

I think people just put 90k blame on SE.

90k Anniversary coming soon!

So how do you explain me getting 90K 3 times in a row on my PC, move to my PS3, which is connected to the same internet, and no more 90K? It is a disconnection from the game, which no other games do that, even with servers in China, but you have to admit SE has a ton to do with it as well.

Its over 90 thousaaaaaaaaaaaand !!

I have a Fibre optic line right from the local FFXIV data center to my PC and I haven't had any disconnect issues.

Yesterday, twice while trying to obtain my Bard Relic (Titan HM), I 90ked. When I tried to log back in, both times I would hear grunting while the login was occuring and when I'd get back, I'd still be in my Titan group. Also, both times, my character went invincible while I was 90ked. My team members said they watched me get hit by landslide and not move or take damage.

I bolded the important part. All 90k means is that you got disconnected from the servers. That's all it means. Nothing more. Nothing less. You got disconnected 3 times in a row. It's still a 90k because you got disconnected. 90k has absolutely NO meaning as to what disconnected you or any information about the cause at all. It's also system independent. You can get it both on pc and ps3. It could be the servers, or it's your pc. Afterall you yourself just said you moved to your ps3 and suddenly the problem goes away. In troubleshooting you just eliminated the servers and made it very clearly a problem with your pc. 90k means absolutely nothing past "your connection has been broken." No amount of sassiness on your part will change that fact.

No one is questioning the error code so no idea why you keep repeating the same post.

No, but people are reading far too much into an error code. Above one user specifically used it to try and act like it was unique to square and they must have a hand in it in some allusion I suppose to it being a server issue. The same user also said he went to his ps3 and the problem disappeared which points more to computer problems. Simply put people are using this error code as some sort of justification that square has something wrong on their servers. However, it does not give anyone that kind of information. At all.

It very well could be a server issue as I have been a part of entire parties that get 90k, log back in, get another party, curse about the 90k, and the other 3 people say they were booted as well.

As for the problem unique to square, it is. SE runs FFXIV. Nothing else disconnects (Skype, AIM, Web Browsing) so the 90k error is unique to square.

Also for me it only happens when in an instance and usually Monday/Tuesday (after reset) and the day before maintenance.

I used to get them a lot more often before I moved across town, just bad internet connection and wiring. But I haven't lost internet connection more than twice in as many weeks since moving, and I still get 90k'd and 90,002'd. Somewhere down the line the game is connecting to an ISP that is just dropping constantly.

I've stopped crafting for this reason, and every new coil week I hold my breath.

Yes, it COULD mean that, but it doesn't necessarily mean it either. Which is the point I'm trying to make. It doesn't give you enough information to make that judgement with any amount of certainty. Once again I cite the user above who had the issue on his pc and then moved to the ps3 and never saw it again. Sure it could have been square, possibly the isp, but it seems instead it's his pc since the moment he moved to the console the problem went away. For some users they may be having peering issues and that is causing disconnects and therefore 90ks. The point is that 90k is entirely too vague to make any such conclusions on because it can have so many sources. Each user has a difference situation and each user can have entirely different reasons for their 90k. Sometimes it could be the same thing, such as when users all 90k at once from an instance, other times it wont. It is far, far, far too vague.

I understand disconnecting is frustrating, but lets try to keep reality in view when we try to put blame on people and point fingers.

I get these like ten times a day and never seem to have the issue with any other programs or games. I don't know if maybe it's something to do with the framework that XIV uses or what not but it's just about the most frustrating thing that I've ever dealt with in an MMO especially since it's almost exclusively within an instance and mostly on boss pulls.
