Error 2002 - Official 'Fix' Does not apply.

Trying to log in this morning, was being hit with the 'Unable to Update NA/EU character list', much like many others and then suddenly get hit with error 2002 'The lobby server connection has encountered an error.' Anyone else have this happen to them?

To note, I have read the official sticky, please don't direct me there. This error occurred on the same PC I have been using to play, there were not any changes in Port forwarding on the network, no new programs were installed, the computer was not restarted so all programs that were running when it was working are still running. All of my routers are working fine, there is no problem on my network or my machine.

Same here - for once, I would feel better if I go the world full error.

Back to SR4 I go for now then... >.>

Having the lobby server error this morning as well, mate. Nothing has changed on my pc...was playing literally 8.5 hours ago perfectly fine.

It gives me something along the lines of "lobby server connection" issues. Everything was fine last night. Nothings changed other than I can't play - again.

Was getting this earlier today as well. I reseted my whole computer then the launch let me through afterwards.

I was playing on one of the few NA/EU servers not currently full, so i decided to log out and see if my main's server was available to queue seeing as its offpeak times. Was kicked from the lobby with the same 2002 error.

I get that error occasionally. The last time it happened, the game crashed right after. I just chalk it up to overly aggressive queue adjustments, or high latency. I'm still confident all this will go away in a few days.

I've been getting this error on PS3 consistently and I've tried everything short of reinstalling the game. Let's hope it doesn't come to that...

Try right clicking the launcher icon and running it as administrator. This has worked for some people (I can't take credit for the idea), though I don't understand why this works, since I don't believe the client has updated since last night, and I wasn't having that problem last night. But hey, whatever.

Can we get some help on the PS3 everything was fine then I fell asleep woke up and now the start button is greyed out and I get error 2002 please help

the run as administrator did not work for me, i still get the error

I reset my system, it fixed the greyed out start button (presumably or it was sheer coincidence) but not I can't see the NA/EU server list lol

sane for me, either 'start' is greyed out or can't connect my character or the world is full :( using the same pc as always, nothing changed technically. Not going to sub if this issue continues will probably go back to LotRo.

PS3, EST, MIDGARDSORMR. Had the 1017 last night so i figured, 'well its friday night everyone is on ill just wait till tomorrow morning to get in.' low and behold this morning I get the error 2002! so im like 'what the hell' restart the game. this time no error message, but i get the "unable to update NA/EU server list" or something like that.

i see from this forum, that it is not just me, but does anyone have any idea, why it happened, what caused it or how long it will last.

My first guess is that they are working on updating the servers or something. maybe updating the maximum number of players foe each world. it just bugs me that JP servers don't seam to have any problems. and there is never any official announcements till its already been fixed and everyone is comfortable numb.. heh.. really upsetting!!

but anyway, anyone have any thoughts and not just complaints. lets get organized people!! lol.

Yeah I can't log in either. I feel like FFXIV always has and always will have these problems. It's way annoying. this seriously needs to be fixed. I mean isn't that one of the reasons they remade the game anyway so we don't have these problems?

I was getting the same issue about an hour ago. So I played on the JP servers for a bit. I just rebooted my game to try again and I got into the NA server. Since its the weekend I'm sure there is a high volume of people trying to log in at the same time so there are issues with the 2002 error. Unfortunately I think it may be luck of the draw at this point.

Yup, in the middle of a guildleve; 90000'd out. Now, solid error 2002 and greyed out start button. Lobby server encountered an error.

/le sigh

/edit Definitely not my network/port list/etc, as my wife is still playing. I was playing fine for over 40 minutes today before I was kicked.
