Can't log in. Constant 90002

[Frysia]

Ever since the update today 4.18, I haven't been able to log into any of my characters. I receive a 90002 error the moment I click a character to log in as.

Figured it out. Didn't have time to test absolutely everything this morning before work. Seems my firewall decided to start blocking the connection. Disabling it for 10 minutes allowed me to log in so I'll have to look into adding an exception to the firewall somewhere.

That's good to hear!

Most firewall programs should allow you to make exceptions, so once you do that hopefully you won't have trouble logging in.

When you have more time, see if the firewall exception will be a permanent solution. Whether you run into more issues or not, please provide an update on the situation as it may help other players who have the same error upon logging in.
