Specifically, 90002. I am on Bryn server, Crystal Datacenter. I have great ping to the server, but periodically will get 90k'd and kicked to the main menu. The only two patterns I've observed is it happening more often (but not always) in instances or area transitions, and a bit more often at night, but I also have been doing a lot of instances lately so it's hard to tell if there's actually a causative link. Here is what I've tried, based on internet research and trying to make use of others' solutions:
Troubleshooting Steps I've performed:
- Restarted modem and computer
- Reset modem
- Ensured I have the most recent drivers and Windows updates.
- Used a route tracer to determine no substantial packet loss on any intermediate nodes (about 6% at server node) [ UPDATE: This is still happening with zero packet loss. ]
- Checked with other players to see if it was a widespread server issue; I asked a few dozen players and it doesn't seem to be epidemic
- Checked with my SO; we are on the same modem, wired connection, taking same route to the server, and only I am having issues
- Checked other online games and general internet use; no issues, including no interruption of YouTube or whatnot during these 90k issues
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF14 completely (including scouring the Windows registry)
- I have changed Ethernet cables
- I have swapped Ethernet ports with my SO to see if he suddenly d/cs and I don't, but it's still only me being affected by it
- I have purchased a new Ethernet card (improved performance overall, not a bad use of $15, still getting 90k'd though)
- Disabled Adobe's updater (someone said that program in the bg was causing it?)
- Added the recommended port forwarding (just today, will see if that helps) [ EDIT: Nope. ]
I cannot think of anything else I can try on my end. It's happening just seldomly enough that it's difficult to troubleshoot. I can go hours without any issues, or even most of a day, and suddenly right at an inconvenient moment, get booted out.
I am at an utter loss. I'm "happy" to see I'm not the only one having the issues right now as most of the threads I've found were from 3-5 years ago. I would welcome any further advice from other members.
Edit: I've seen continued 90ks despite zero packet loss being tracked and despite adding the port forwarding, which I didn't think was going to be the issue anyway since it's affecting me and not my spouse. I've submitted a ticket with S-E.
