Sooo... about that error 2002/5006

yeeeeeeeeah everytime I log out...

Fix it so we don't have to keep restarting the game. Geez. Just put us in a damn queue so we can get in eventually. I can't get in line if I have to restart every damn time. Seriously pissed.

What documentary/movie/whatever is that gif from? :O I love cheetahs and that looks like high quality footage.

The American Way!

Someone told me a 'trick' that seemed to work, switch data centers, then switch back and I got into my data center that way.

Pretty sure the 2002 means the data center log in is conjested. I was persistent and eventually got in.

It's okay. I'm going on 2 hours just trying to connect to my Data Center, let alone actually get put in a queue. It's not like I was looking forward to playing for a little while after I was a normal person and worked today. Too bad I'm not on a JP server world, those seem to be running perfectly fine...

This is how I feel about it too. I totally understand that it doesn't make sense to have logon servers that are built for this level of volume, because it would be a huge waste 99% of the time. But at least change the way the client handles it so we don't have to relaunch and type in our credentials every time!

OMG /raging strikes!!!

my poor token ; ;

5 hours passed being unable to connect to the data centre. Getting tired and will need to sleep soon.
I didn't expect to be able to play on the first day, but it still sucks getting one less day of early access.

Are you guys using DX11? I was and was getting these errors but once I switched to DX9 I got in fine.

This is infuriating. The logical side of me -knew- this was going to happen, but I can't even swap characters without sitting through AT LEAST a 30 minute cycle of 2002, 5006, 90k, and long queue times. Every. Single. Time. Even changing data centers and swapping back doesn't work for me. And I've also gotten stuck with the "players in queue: 1" error.

doesnt work for me lol i have literally tried everything i could think of to get on and it still throws errors at me i might change data centers until this stuff blows over just worried i will never get back into balmung if i do that

I am trying to enter tot he data center with the servers: balmung, gilgamesh and it's a hassle trying to get in. Whn I changed to primal with malboro and others, I can log in. It is so frustrating.

Its really nice playing on Zalera ;D

Been trying to get into Aether data center for over an hour now. constant error 2002...I can sometimes get into Primal when switching....But that does not help me since all my characters are on Aether D8.

Edit: I have also tried switching back to DX9 but I am unlucky it seems as that made no difference for me personally.

Tried switching to DX9 same result.

Yea now I'm getting 2002. :P Right when I came home.

I feel your pain OP. Finally logged in. Right after fighting a massive que, I started to load only to get lobby server 5006 again. Maybe servers should be split temporarily or free transfers from high pop ones instituted?

Same issue using Goblin server on Aether...finally got in as I was typing this.

Seriously Pissed. They need to do something about this bullshit. When the game came out in October last year. Same damn issue. Why the fuck do we have to pay for a game they cant keep running? This is why people quit MMO's, Idiots who have no idea what is going to happen...

This does not work, at least for me. I tried and I still go through the same errors I mentioned before. Although, it doesn't hurt to try for those that haven't yet.

I'm in queue now. So it seems there is no magic fix just being lucky and not getting the error which is most likely the too many people hammer the log in servers error.

Hope you get lucky. I got to queue 1 and then I get error 2002 and force me to click ok and shut the game.

I'm stuck at 60, but I am gonna stick it out and see what happens while I watch TV and eat dinner. I will probably try again in an hour if it doesn't work.

This is so stupid. I understand having to wait to get into the server. It makes sense considering the circumstances. I've waited in a 4 hour queue before. AT LEAST PUT ME IN A DAMN QUEUE. I can't connect to the data center, and on rare occasions when I magically DO and it puts me in a queue, the stupid error happens, it kicks me out of my queue and shuts down the game...So I get to spend the next hour trying to reconnect to the data center just so that I can MAYBE get into a queue for 5 minutes and then more than likely be kicked out again and have to repeat the process. PUT ME IN A SOLID QUEUE SO I CAN AT LEAST GO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH MY LIFE WHILE I WAIT...Hell, put me in a DATA CENTER queue first if you need to! *rageragerage* :mad::(

I get the errors. I get congestion, I get server overload.

What I don't get is why a lobby server error force closes the client.

Why. WHY is this necessary. I'm using a security token and it's an incredible hassle to log back in over and over and over again.

Why SE ... you were doing god.

Been saying for a year now that they need to make it so that Lobby Errors *do not crash the client.* I mean seriously folks, why is your program coded to do that? Error messages are fine. Server issues are obviously expected. Cannot and will not be mad about that.

However.

Having to re-login every single time you get told there's a problem should not be a thing.

I'm going to have to chime in and say the client crashing at any error is, incredibly, annoying.. lol

Usually I get 2002 after hitting "START". If I get in, I can play for about 20 min then I get Error 90002 and it kicks me back to the opening menu. After that if I hit "START" again I usually get 5006.
