They're going to input some fixes Wednesday morning.

I know it's frustrating. have your spouse or roommate log you in an hour before you get off of work if you have that option. That way the queue will almost be done by the time you get home.
Otherwise, please understand there is a WORLD WIDE shortage of semiconductors, which means that they aren't able to purchase enough servers to really handle this many people playing. They weren't expecting hundreds of thousands of players from WoW (Maybe even millions.) - and no one could have predicted that, nor prepared for it in time for launch. The queues will calm down: They're already starting to.
This time two days ago the queue would have been over 2,000. It's only 450 for me now. That's a vast improvement. -

I don't care about the queues, thats the least of the problems
Just fix the goddamn audio glitches which are preventing me from playing the game properly. Its unplayable right now -
12-08-2021, 03:47 AMssunny2008There have been an influx of players half year ago, maybe even earlier thx to covid and lockdowns. All what they´ve added has been an increased player limit and afk kicks. New promised server hasn´t become a thing.Quote:

12-08-2021, 03:55 AMHuaTuoYeah, not sure what you've been smoking but no, kind sir, if anything, its gonna get WAAAY worse since early access ended today (it already has gotten worse in comparison with yesterday) as more people are logging in. Would you like to look at my 6544 queue right now? I actually signed in 90mins ago before I was to go shopping. On my return I found "Lobby server encountered an error" and back in the Q I go. SE is taking a piss, and you really cannot be serious, calling out semiconductors shortage??? SE is not Tesla or the like. They need to spend a nominal amount to purchase "some" hardware.Quote:

There absolutely is a worldwide shortage of semiconductors. I don't know where you've been.
And Warcraft didn't see a MASSIVE exodus until just recently: Within the past 4 months. When Asmongold came to FFXIV: That's when everyone else started to follow suit.
The company also has a fixed limit as far as what they can pay for what goods. FFXIV doesn't have Square Enix's entire budget. FFXIV has FFXIV's budget. SE doesn't just hand them a blank check to pay quadruple the price for used servers. That's not how that works: That's not how any of this works.
FFXIV has seen an influx of hundreds of thousands (If not millions) of players just in the last 5 months. NOT enough time to prepare for such an increase in players and still get the expansion polished in time.
-- As for the audio crackling issue? That's not a FFXIV issue. I have one headset that uses different drivers than my wireless headset. The other headset doesn't crackle at all: But since the last audio driver update, my wireless one crackles in XIV quite frequently.
That's a me issue, not a FFXIV issue. I'll be updating my drivers again today and hoping it fixes it. Either way, my other headset is fine.
Try another headset, or uninstalling your audio driver completely and then downloading the updated driver. -
12-08-2021, 04:02 AMray_lunaria
What the hell are you saying? its clearly an issue with the new audio engine from FFXIV. Its not on users end

12-08-2021, 04:05 AMssunny2008Preparing new servers and polishing Endwalker are completely different things and SE surely have different teams for such stuff.Quote:

But for sure they didn´t want to pay for them, just for a "maybe we have more abonnements". It would be dumb... no serious gaming company does that until the playercount is high on average over months.
EDIT: The european datacentres had a player influx waaaay before some internet guy came over from WoW. I remember something like "2 new server", but it didn´t happen. And the new players aren´t even the big point here. It´s all the vets, which came back for new content. -

bro, im currently at 5k+, started from 7k+ two hours ago. Still, im not here to complain about a thing that's been going on for days. Imho, you dont deserve to be here, with milions of ppl with the same problem waiting to play. But, guess what? Jerks like you are so lucky to play XIV becouse right now, far from here SE is doing its best to find a solution to let YOU and others to log in.
I bet they are not even sleeping to resolve this. And you dare to insult them.
U sucks mate. -
12-08-2021, 04:23 AMancient_amber
anyone else getting disconnected or kicked just before they can play?
because i have to restart my launcher every time -
12-08-2021, 04:29 AMssunny2008It´s their work to find a solution, they get paid for that... by us. And if they don´t find one, ppl will drop the game and in the worst case want their money back.Quote:

Happens to everyone randomly either caused by the login servers themselves or by a package loss caused by your provider. You just can login again and hope your place in the queue stays the same.Quote:

Right now we are experiencing it because of the influx of players but they have had literal YEARS prior to the pandemic to make changes. The thing is, not a single developer out there wants to put the amount of time and money required to build a proper long-term sustainable infrastructure regarding their servers. This kind of investment would have a major impact to the profit margin of an organization in that single year and no company wants to tell their shareholders they did not meet their profit goals because of this investment. So we get a "just enough" and "if necessary" process of upgrades and then lame excuses as to why we are experiencing problems. No, the reason we are experiencing it isn't because of "unpredictable numbers of players attempting to login" and the lack of investment in the server structure. And to be fair, SE has been bad about servers from the beginning and this isn't an unforeseen issue they make it out to be nor is it a lack of materials available. While there is a lack of material, it's there inability to act before that made the lack of materials an issue. 7 days of play time, at the moment, will likely suffice for most the player base but it's paltry when considering how they could have proactively prevented this from happening. Still, the ONLY issues i've experienced is server and connection related which is a testament because no other MMO has gone without massive bugs in game play as well.Quote:

I don't give a DAMN about artificial chip shortages because these problems should have been fixed before they became problems. Square/Enix and the entire workteam for this game has at at LEAST since Stormblood to know they have some serious issues both server, game, AND infrastructure-wise. There has been plenty of time to think ahead and make sure they were ready for this games future.

But hey you’re inconvenienced so its okay to stop treating working people like people and curse them and blame them for situations outside of their control. Because if it was so easy to fix you could do it for them right? -
12-08-2021, 05:22 AMApeKingYeah transparent. Having server issues for ages now on their side and saying "Sorry it's your internet." Square is a big company they don't need you white knighting for them they can fight for themselves friend.Quote:

Traceroute is revealing it is an issue at NTT-GIN dropping packets and causing these 90006 etc. errors that are disconnecting people. Can even cause 2002 error.
SNJSCA04 is dropping packets.

Right. We will stop bringing them up when they ACTUALLY fix the problems. This is how stuff gets fixed. Being silent means it is okay for them to be lazy about #1 thing that NEEDS to work. Servers not working = No Final Fantasy 14. Not a single player game people just because you can play it like one (exceptions of course). Free to play MMOs have figured this out, SE has no fucking excuse for servers to be in this state. SE needs to fork over the money for better and/or more servers or they can expect cyberpunk 2077 level lawsuits because there is way too many people who can't use the product (Consumer violations in numerous countries).

I hope they fix it soon because now the new expansion has no sense. You have to be so lucky or be 24/7 to play a little now...

So are those of us with normal working hours just SOL for the moment?
It seems the only way to get in right now on high pop servers is either early morning or late at night. Any other time is a 5k plus queue which always gives error 2002 after an indeterminate amount of time... -
12-09-2021, 01:51 AMSacrilegion
Seriously, they need to stop doing maintenance until they know it will fix the problem. Yoshida, please sit down with your dev team and look through the coding as a team. Plan your move out because doing stuff like this in panic is only going to make it worse. You're better off reverting the patches back to initial.
-
12-09-2021, 02:59 AMimeanlikesrsly
I am really shocked by the incompetence of the dev team. How on earth it is possible that they cannot fix login errors in almost a week now? Even maintenance that was supposed to finally resolve it was an absolute failure. I am starting to think that they don't really have a clue. Yes waiting 4 hours in queue is annoying but getting kicked due to an error after 3 hours just to wait for another 5 ....that is just unacceptable and lasts way too long now. We clearly bought a dysfunctional product. And 7 days that you can spend in this hell for free as compensation is nicely said - a joke.

I do think the 2002 error has gotten better. It might still happen sometimes but before it happened 2-4 times each que and now it did not happen at all for me. The issue is that now the queue seems to take even longer than before. It moves at a snails pace, and while the 2002 error was annoyng it did help to shave off some unlucky players that were in the queue making it go by faster if you were lucky and quick enough to keep your place in queue. It sucks for people like me that work full time and only have a few hours to game when i get home in the evening. If i have 3-4 hours to play and the queue takes 4-5 hours to complete then that just means that i can't log on. Making it impossible for me to play it at all on the weekdays. And things like this makes it hard to justify paying a monthly sub when the only time i can play is abit on the weekends if i'm lucky.

Well yesterday it worked better than after the "maintenance", yesterday at the same hour I was 2700 in queue and had 0 errors of 2002, smooth waiting the line and got access. Today after that maintenance on the same hour I was 3700 and in that time 2x 2002 error, first at 1600ish and next one right after 1st one close 1440...too bad I went to the kichen to pick up my tea, relog pushed me back to 5700 queue line.... the "maintenance" destroyed the yesterdays stability in the queue lines.

12-09-2021, 03:36 AMimeanlikesrslyYeah yesterday it worked for me better as well..Quote:
