Error 2002

Hi,

Not sure if I should start a new thread for this but I have been facing this issue as well. On my PC, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 card.

I am able to load the Launcher and press the play button.
The game loads into full screen. Once the full screen loads, I get a small box that asks me to Calibrate Controller (even pops if my controller is unplugged) and I have the menu displayed but only with "START; DATA CENTRE; CONFIGURATIONS & EXIT" Options. The Opening Movie option is missing. When I select Start, it loads into the "Select Datacentre" screen and I choose the one for mine (Chaos).
It then attempts to connect to the Data Centre and then fails displaying "The Lobby Server Connection has encountered an error".

Game then exits.

I've disabled my firewall, disable all anti-virus and anti-malware but nothing has worked.
I've also ran full system scans, and cleaned out a few minor malwares succesfully, but still nothing.
Also rollbacked the Graphics Card Driver to v335 (it installed v340.52 on 30th July), tried and then nothing. (This Driver update apparently has some relevancy to the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (China) version apparently, my copy was purchased in UK.
Windows has been system restored to 15th July as this was the last time it started working, but this didn't do anything either.
Game has been re-installed and updated, but still I'm encountering the same error.

Currently I'm in the process of updating the Graphics Drivers back to 340.52 and trying again.

I have a feeling that the missing Option of the "Opening Movie" may have to do something? It's a bit odd its missing and am just wondering if the game is unable to connect if it cant play that.

If anyone has any suggestion, this would be most helpful as I've not been able to feed my crafting addiction for over 10 days now

Regards
