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

When did this first start happening? You mentioned it happened infrequently at first, how long did it take to happen every time? I understand that this is only happening with Final Fantasy XIV, but based on the information you provided, it sounds like you are having trouble connecting to the Playstation Network. Have you contacted Playstation Support about this? If so, what troubleshooting did they suggest?

I do have some suggestions for this (I'll add some things I know you have tried just in case someone else runs into this same problem):

1) Reset your router by turning it off for a few minutes, then back on.

2) Preferably, use a wired Ethernet connection as opposed to wireless.

3) Make sure that "Cookies" and "JavaScript" are ENABLED on the PSN Browser. This can be done by going to the web browser on the PS4, press the options button, then go to settings. The options for Cookies and Javascript will most likely be checked, uncheck them and then recheck them.

4) Restore the licenses on your PS4. Go to Settings > Account Management, and select Restore Licenses.

5) You can also try rebuilding your PS4's database. Boot the PS4 in safe mode. When the PS4 is off, press and hold the power button. Release it after you've heard two beeps: one when you first press, and another 7 seconds later. You should see a menu. Here, select 'Rebuild Database' (Make sure not to select 'Initialize') and follow the steps. I should note that this may some time depending on how much of your hard drive is used.

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