Error 90006

[MetalSnakeXI1]

Hello,I'm a bit new here and I've been playing FFXIV since April of this year.

Just a few hours ago I got this error message which was preceeded by an insane amount of lag during a duty roulette I was in

I rechecked my internet twice and it was fine.I'm using a wired connection btw

I'm playing on the Ps4 version so I wonder if this happened to other users like me

Sorry if this was posted in the wrong place and if so please move it to a proper place.But I wonder if anyone else has the same issue with lag that I encountered today.

Thanks in advance

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

Was this the only time that this happened, or has it happened since? How long were you experiencing lag before you disconnected?

What have you done so far to resolve the issue?

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

I have the same issue, but on windows 7, I’ve restarted my router and did release and renew in ipconfig, and followed setting a for Explorer, cleared up issue for two hours then 90006 error again, this is all since the patch on the 8th.

Hello!

The issue you are describing is most associated with interference with the game data. Most of the time, it results from certain security/privacy changes on Internet Explorer. Other times it occurs when an application that is running in the background is causing interference, such as Anti-virus software, firewalls, media players, web browsers, etc.

Please make sure all background applications (including anti-virus programs such as Norton, Kaspersky, Windows Defender, etc.) have been disabled and/or closed to minimize game interference.

Ensure that the latest version of Internet Explorer is installed on your PC (even if you don't use Internet Explorer), please do not use Edge as that is a different internet platform. Once Internet Explorer is up-to-date, please open the IE browser, open the "Tools", go to "Internet Options" and adjust the following settings:
Under the "General" tab, please delete ALL browser history.
Under the "Security" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or no higher than "Medium"
Under the "Privacy" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or to "Allow All Cookies"
Under the "Advanced" tab, please make sure that "Allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid" is CHECKED.
Make sure that all SSL and TLS (EXCEPT SSL 3.0) are CHECKED.
[SSL 3.0 should be UNCHECKED]
Hit "Apply" to save the settings, and then "OK, to close the Internet Options menu.
Right-Click on the FFXIV launcher icon and select "Properties"
Go to the "Compatibility" tab, and change the compatibility mode to "Windows 7"
Hit "Apply", then "OK" to save the changes.
Please RESTART your PC now.


Once your PC has been restarted, Right-Click the FFXIV launcher icon once more and select "Run as Administrator"

If the suggestions provided above do not resolve the issue, then there is a communication error.
Check the following Port Ranges on your router/modem to ensure that the following Port Ranges have been opened/forwarded/triggered:
▼TCP
54992 through 54994,
55006 through 55007,
55021 through 55040

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV! Hope to see you online.
