Repeated 90k error

[Raist]

This is getting tiring. This is getting really annoying. And this is starting to really piss me off.

Fix your routing and finally put the god damn EU servers to the EU and don't keep them in Canada


Jesus christ -.-

SE doesn't have anything to do with your route... that is set by your ISP's policies (either directly, or as a result of their routing arrangement with third parties that they are connecting you to in order to get to Ormuco, who is SE's ISP). That's why you keep getting directed to them...there are known issues that they need to investigate and escalate the matter to the proper people to address.

I just played for about 4 hours straight, no issues outside the odd lag spike. Looked at my route and as usual, there are signs of congestion spikes in some key areas. Atlanta's hop was spiking from around 30ms up to 250+ at least twice in 10 pings, and Chicago was running from around 36ms to a spike just over 150ms pretty consistently once in 10 pings. Ran them several times throughout the night (while waiting on DF and FATES to pop) and it was pretty consistent. Didn't contact TWC about it yet though, since it wasn't bad enough to dramatically impact my playtime tonight. Plus they had already bounced my modem once tonight while I was streaming some stuff on the Roku (which was rough... a lot of pausing/buffreing). So they may already be looking into it again (it's been an ongoing effort for nearly a year now to sort out issues with our nodes down here in South Carolina).

There are indeed problems in the routes that our ISP need to address. Whether they are the root of your issues remains to be seen, but we can safely say that are at least a big contributor. It may well be worth pursuing simple because (like me) it may stabilize your path well enough that you can still play in spite of all the issues out there.

Getting the same issue again on Phoenix. Would be nice to have at least some acknowledgement of the problem from support =/

[Culfinrandir]

That's unlikely... the problem's only been going for 12 hours. -_- /trollface

had these 90k/2002 issues since yesterday evening, woke up early to check if it's been fixed in the meantime. sadly i was greeted by a 90k during the loading screen :/

i really hope we don't have to wait for the 9th dec. maintenance to get this fixed

[Culfinrandir]

Also, sort out the idiotic issue where when we get a 2002 error it closes down the whole launcher. That's the kind of thing programs in Win95 did before multitasking was possible.

Same thing here on Lich. Yesterday when I couldn't play of lag they were trying to tell me my machine was not good enough to play this game..
- AMD-FX-8320
- 12 Gb of RAM
- AMD R9-270X
Not enough, huh.. Ok, I sent them my system info - no responce ofc. And today's morning, when not much are online, I have no lags, but ofc constant 90k/2002. Just what the hell? Either it's lag/freeze or 90k/2002..

Trying to raid, but one of our tanks keeps getting 90k'd every 10-15 minutes, and it takes 5-10 minutes before he can reconnect to the data center, after repeated 2002 errors...extremely frustrating. This should be SE's priority--not an expansion.

It's getting impossible to queue for duty finder with this issue. As if queues weren't long enough as it is, now I have to watch my 1-hour long queue get reset by a DC.

[NanoNekomata]

I've been getting hit with 90k fairly frequently(every 30-69mins approximatly) for the past week. It's beyond frustrating because I can't run anything for fear of getting a DC in the middle of it. I really hope it'll be addressed in the upcoming patch. My connection is usually flawless, but this week, and only with this game, it's been awful.

[Bluevann]

At this point I highly doubt our ISPs are to blame. All the other internet services are working to me (youtube, movies in streaming, FFXI...), and clearly we're up to 9 pages of people having big issues (not the occasional DC, but the inability to play the game entirely or close to that). We all have different ISPs and locations, so the only factor we all share in common is the XIV lobby server. This is definitely an issue on SE's end, not ours.
