Constant 90002 Error

[Raist]

Your bandwidth (often mistakenly referred to as speed) has little to nothing to do with it. The electrons travel the same speed for their respective media (copper, fiber, etc.). The bandwidth plan is a metric of the payload and not the speed. Think of it as a comparison between traveling in a car versus on a bus down the same free way. 4 people in a car may arrive in the same time as they would on a bus traveling the same highway at the same speed...provided they don't run into any traffic jams, detours, etc. that might slow them down.

Anything beyond about 128k of bandwidth is really only used for the initial loading of a zone/instance or perhaps a popular hunt mark/fate (depends on how many players are fighting). For the most part, the game play can run just as well on adsl-lite as it can on gigabit fiber--so long as the latency is consistently low and you have at least 128k of bandwidth in each direction.

What matters most is the latency factor. More importantly, how consistent it is. The game runs on a 300ms or less cycle (lower in instances). If your latency is spiking high enough to exceed the "heartbeat" cycle or is drooping packets then you risk the pausing/rubber banding/skipping and session dropping because if too many retransmits taking place.

Well, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with FFXIV though. I currently use Telenet (Belgian provider) and I see several 90001's and 90002's a day.
What I've noticed, is that it's not an instant disconnect. Once the 90k is about to happen, you are unable to receive/send /tells, /fc and /party chat. Most of the times you have no idea this happens, but you might feel ignored sometimes though..
After about 5 minutes of not being able to talk in the chat anymore, the 90001/90002 occurs (while perfectly able to play during those 5 minutes), but you are able to login immediatially after the dc again. So also no "You are still logged in" error.

I've never had this issue during FFXI, WoW, Maplestory and never had a disconnect during any of my games on Playstation 3/4. Only FFXIV has this problem. It occurs on both my pc version as my PS4 version of FFXIV. This clearly has something to do with FFXIV...

On top of that, my girlfriend is playing FFXIV right next to me. We're both on the same network and sometimes I receive a 90k while she doesn't and vica versa.
Also, I've tried WTFast today (some people hinted on the forum this would help preventing 90ks, but just got one a few minutes ago again )

I have been getting this constantly since transfering to Balmung earlier this year. Seems to be happening once an hour or so. Very frustrating as a DPS in the duty finder to have to re-queue after waiting 20-30 mins or when in the middle of a chat only to realize I've lost five minutes of conversation. Haven't had any other game/application drop connection. Only FFXIV.

ISP is Charter

This is a new one on me and it's been constant ONLY ON MY MAIN CHARACTER I can log in to other characters, other servers and data centers without issue but trying to log into my main character and it's 90002 very frustrating and obviously not an issue my end or any of the hops along the way.

Yeah I'm getting this at least a few times a day.

This happens to me all the time and Square keeps saying it's my ISP. But for a long time I didn't have this issue...something has to have changed on Square's side...Please fix this!

Your ISP can change their routing once every 14 days/weeks/months/etc. according to their policy. Without a proper diagnostic of your routing to know for certain it is hard to say. But history has shown that most of the time there are problems in route to the servers--something that is established and maintained by your ISP and the peering partners they have chosen to use...nothing SE has any control over.

I've been getting this error extremely frequently, too.

I started playing about 11 days ago and, for the first week, it's worked fine. But for the last 4 days it's been kicking me out within 5 minutes of logging in and, when I do manage to play within that 5 minutes, it's extremely laggy.
Sometimes, on the night of a blue moon when the planets align, I can play it for maybe 2 hours (give or take) problem free until it kicks in again and starts giving me 90002. I'm not particularly knowledgeable on things like routers, ISP etc, but I've tried resetting my router, turning it on/off, and restarting my PS4 but nothing's worked. I can't even try going wired because that's not an option right now. I can play every single one of my other games as smooth as hell, but not this one.
This is particularly annoying because this game is subscription based, so every day that this plagues me, I'm effectively losing my money and interest in the game which SUCKS, because I really like it...
If this carries on I'll probably end up having to cancel my subscription until it gets sorted. I don't see why it would work fine the first week and act like shit for the rest.

well the game right now is extremely unplayable. whether it's on ps4/ps3/pc the lag is all over the place. I am paying for the game, and i get the poor customer service. wtf is this? All game companies are like this lol, if you are have a latency issue, it's your ISP. no it's YOU dumbasses IT'S YOU. THE PROBLEM IS ON YOUR END.

I have played this game over 900 days. I didn't have this 90002 error until two days and it is making the game suck. I want to know what Square-enix is going to do about it?
