Disconnecting with 90002 error

Several times a day, I disconnect, and the game shows this.

A disconnect at 6:14 PM ET.

Another disconnect at 4:33 AM ET.

Another disconnect at 2:56 PM ET.

Another disconnect at 2:12 AM ET.

There goes a Main Scenario run I was on...

Another disconnect at 3:09 PM ET.

Yep, just got plotzed again.

If it's the ISP, get a new ISP -- preferably one that can handle the traffic. But I don't think it's the ISP.

It is indeed a problem on the ISP's end and this is well documented in a 150+ page thread that was recently bumped back to life. NTT has problematic node(s) on route to the game's servers and they are dropping connections. This has actually been an issue for years, but more people are just starting to experience since early-mid Dawntrail. so if you wanna play and avoid the disconnections, you need to get a VPN that doesn't pass through these affected nodes.

install Cloudwarp....its not a DDoS issue sadly, its an NTT issue.

The info is appreciated, but SE's complete apathy is unacceptable. Here's hoping they make some kind of concrete statement once more of their team members return after the holidays, but I'm honestly done with the whole thing.

no chance world first will be an NA team on NA servers. If I didnt have a static who seems to be still planning to try, I'd be done with this cr*p. GG ffxiv.

Another disconnect at 1:05 AM ET.

Yep, that one probably got most of the RMT ERP'ers.

Hi, this is still ongoing and a lot more are affected then what shows in the forum. Please resolve the issue, or refund the players.

It's happening on savage day. Hopefully this will lead to some kind of statement or at least anything that doesn't mimic the behavior of an ostrich.

Another disconnect at 9:36 AM ET.

Another disconnect at 4:38 PM ET.

Another disconnect at 1:38 PM PT.

Simply put they use the same company they use in Japan for their nodes. While the company they use is considered first rate in that country with security, the NA child company they use is second or even third rate in terms of security and network connectivity. Basically they do not care about the NA players that are experiencing the 90002 connection error. Its also that the servers are struggling to keep player load too. I experienced this about 4 or 5 times today late afternoon when all people are working.

Another disconnect at 5:20 PM ET.

Someone is trying to kill the game. A disconnect an hour on average since Savage came up?

Does anyone else get that this is NOT a coincidence?

Another disconnect at 6:30 PM ET.

These "DDoS attacks" are out of hand. It's not like it's a free to play game, we pay to play, solve it or give NA players compensation days. I get that you guys aren't the ones causing the issue, but you're not a indie company either. Do something.

Another disconnect at 7:54 PM ET.

Another disconnect at 9:36 PM ET.

Stop ignoring the DDOS attacks.

Thanks Ill give that a try. It is free so better then having to pay a vpn subscription to play a game i already pay a subscription for.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is "Cloudwarp", where can I get it, and how *exactly* does it help prevent disconnections due to DDoS/NTT/whatever?

We had a good few days but of course it’s back. I’m considering unsubbing until they fix this issue but at this rate I’ll never end up resubbing lol. This is just the new normal to be offline final fantasy.
