Lobby server connection has encountered an error

[Ortophonic]

Good Morning everyone.

I just reactivated my account last night, and got everything patched. This morning I wanted to login before work just to get my bearings again, however, I am currently getting this lobby server connection error.

I remember when I first bought the game the only time I would get this was at the main menu, and the "start" button would be greyed out (was resolved after tweaking firewall settings on my router). This time I am able to select start, which them prompts me to select the data center. After selecting the data center for NA is when I receive the error.

Has anyone seen/ receiving it today?

Thanks.

Tried again remotely, still unable to get past data center selection.

Having this same issue. Every time I hit start it tries to connect, but errors out with 2002

I just had the chance to see if there are any other posts regarding this, and it seems like its been coming up since the 2.1 patch? Can anyone verify this?

Will also be double checking my router settings when I get home.

I was getting it, I went to look at my firewall and saw that it wasn't running (Norton Internet Security).
I launched it, then oddly enough was able to get in.

Weird..

Also (to anyone else that is having constant error 2002 and uses Nortons) I heard disabling then re-enabling Nortons has cleared up the issue for some. Obviously this did not work for my case, but it is something to try.

Soooo turns out I didn't have time to check my router settings yesterday after work... lol.. Anyway, I was reading in another forum and believe I found an IP to ping. Remoted back into my computer from work, opened up command prompt and pinged this address: 199.91.189.30.

Received nothing but time out. SOOOOOO I think my router is acting up again.

I have been getting this error since the new patch feb. 4th-5th and it is annoying me this is the first time I seen this error since I started playing the game they really need to fix this issue

I had this problem since the update. All you have to do is open your Norton and switch it from Auto to Allow under your firewall settings.
