MichiAi thanx for that it just shows how much they dont give a dam, one would think after getin paid as much $$$ as they are congestion SHOULD NOT BE A DAM PROBLEM EVERY UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a computer genius but when the error message actually mentions the latest patch (...2014-4-24-14), seems to me that may point to a problem with the patch.

Been trying for the past hour and still can't get on :/ I'm on PS3 and when I try to log in I can type everything in then it just stays as a black screen... ugh, so much for doing a few things before work.....

Joy, guess I get to go screw around in Guild Wars 2 while waiting for this to come up. I do want to get the dailies done so I can get closer to my 7th Atma book.

lol go figure, it worked once earlier when I played but I try to log back on and I get the error. This isn't anything to do with local settings so dont bother, this is a patch issue and the only fix is probably gonna be from square. so much for playing today. f**kers

I cant believe square enix cant seem to release patches, since day one, without causing other never ending issues ( Can you as least have the decency to respond to this thread as to where we are with the fix to this issue?

Having a few classes in programming, I can tell you that this could easily not have been foreseen. All it takes is one single small error in the code, whether it's missing a bracket, a parenthesis, or using a colon instead of a semi-colon at the end, it's enough to cause many errors. Once my program kept giving completely wrong answers for the math problem I had coded into it. Spent 2 hours looking for the error to finally find it, I used a colon instead of a semi-colon and it messed EVERYTHING up. Most patch problems are usually caused by this sort of thing, or one piece of code overriding an earlier one when you didn't mean for it to. Coding requires perfection, utter perfection to get it to work how you want it to.

You should probably go work for square then, they clearly need the help.

Jokes aside all chances their sysadmins running like crazy right now. If that's not something stupid like a wrong line in some launcher config file pointing to dev or QA servers that cannot handle the load. >.<
