Aether Data Center Not allowing Me to Connect

[Ifrinne]

to make 29 pages short. lets hope they sort it out. i would imagine SE can also reroute their servers to a working path till the issue wherever it is is solved. they seem to be on it. so its a matter of patience

I can get to the character selection screen on Aether now, but it isn't letting me into the game... After that I get "10105 Connection with the server was lost."

Definitely can't be an ISP issue. I can log in on Behemoth (where I'm a massive noob and thus dont wanna log in) but not on Cactuar where my main is. Also, I'm not exactly onto it when it comes to tech stuff, but if it was an ISP issue, I can't see how only certain data centres would be affected.

ISPs in a wide definiton is a lot more than the local company connecting your home to the internet, it's a lot of different points along the route. The different data centres are in different physical locations, so there are different connection points along the way and your data traffic take wildly different routes (and have different ending points). It's like a traffic jam in San Francisco being highly unlikely to affect your drive along the English countryside. Assuming you're not heading through San Francisco.

(Using a VPN solution like WTFast that others have tried and managed to get in through would in this particular instance being comparable to taking a tunnel to a slightly different location first, then approaching your destination from there, circumventing the traffic jam)

Well, want an even better point against 'ISP'?

As I said before (and it's still reproducible here), on the SAME server (Cactuar)...

-I can not connect with my main, even after a couple dozen tries. It jumps between error numbers.
-I always connect with an alt.
-I connect after a couple of tries on another alt.

[Bonkleberry]

I cannot get in either. Error 2002.

[LycorisSelunis]

TY for the info. TIL more about how internet works


edit- not quite getting why an alt on the same server seems to work for some folks though? surely they dont send a specific character one way or another?

2 of my friends were able to get in through ps4... i am still yet to be able to get on after waiting a bit :/

I got hit with this lastnight. When I woke up, I was able to log in just fine. So i thought it was fixed. My MISTAKE cause when i changed to a alt, I realized I couldnt swtich between characters without saying the connection to the data server was lost. Then pretty soon it wouldn't even load the data server and started throwing me the Lobby server error.

I disabled my internet on my PC and re-enabled it again hoping it would fetch a new IP address after doing that I was able to log into my main again. Not saying its going to fix the issue. but it might allow you to go on the toon your wanting to play.

Like I said in another thread, SE will blame the ISPs and the ISPs will blame SE...it'll take days to fix because they won't work with each other.
