fucking SE can’t fix their job properly! its been 3 hours i still can’t log in! wtf is error (NP-36116-7)? we PAY ALOT but very POOR SERVICE! i didn’t even get a godamned notification about the issue! i tried other games in psn it was working properly. so that means SE is the problem here not the psn.

It is likely not SE's fault, it is likely PSN's fault

Did any of you pre order SHadow Bringers before the error occurred? This happened to me just after I pre ordered

not for me, issues popped up after the give away for pre-ordering happened.

I pre-ordered my copy around 2 weeks ago.. plus it's apparently hitting some PC users as well............ as a friend on my FC discord mentioned that he saw someone posting about it on an FF14 discord he's a member of..... and that they were a known PC player

I wonder what is actually causing the error

I'm also having this issue, but might be able to give a little more insight onto what is (and isn't) triggering it. It seems that it's not "on startup" but when loading the launcher, usually one and the same - but I was already logged in, then tried to exit from the main menu to check something on the launcher screen, and that's when I got the error.

For more detail:

I'd pre-ordered Shadowbringers, and was prompted to register it when I first logged in earlier tonight. I went through whatever steps that took me through, and continued into the game without issues.

Tonight I was clearing the seasonal event with my different characters, so was logging out and in again a few times, each time returning to the main menu screen (with the flame background). No problems during any of this.

At the end of my playing session, I wanted to look at the news articles on the launcher screen, so after logging out I pressed Exit on the main menu, which would normally return me to the launcher. Instead I got the error message.

(There's a small chance that I actually got the error immediately after logging my character out, as I'm rather tired and I don't particularly remember going through the main menu screen, but I think I must have done that. It's certainly what I was intending to do.)

Anyway, it gave the error again when I closed down the program and opened it again. I haven't done any further troubleshooting.

Same Problem Here... Did SE or PSN/Sony Say Anything Regarding This Problem ?
How Long Will This Last ?

I would be so mad if the only way to fix it would be to delete and reinstall ffxiv
