Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Do you receive any kind of disconnection error after this or does it simply hang on the "connecting to data center" screen?

It's possible that you are simply having a connection/routing issue and it will resolve itself like it did last time, however there are a few things we can try to troubleshoot the problem.

I'd like to get some additional information about your connection setup. Please provide:

- Platform (PC, PS4, Mac)
- Type of connection (wired or wireless)
- Other programs running while the game is playing (if any)
- Frequency at which this occurs
- Everything you have tried to resolve the issue

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
