If you are having 90002/90001/Disconnects please REPLY HERE!

The disconnects started for me when my wife started playing also - the correlation seemed so stark that it seemed like square was monitoring for multi-boxing & the disconnects were intentional. Occurs more often if I have a browser open while playing. Using a VPN helps (Vypr), but doesn't solve the actual issue. Disconnects usually happen when zoning into/out of dungeons, i.e. going from the world server to the dungeon server. No changes to my comp or network to prompt any belief that the issue is on my end.

That's usually when it happens to me when entering and or leaving instanced fights/dungeons and sometimes whilst in the instance.

I've been getting hit with error 90006 since the big disconnect that happened on Thursday.

At around 11:30pm BST I notice my chat log starts lagging severely, FC data won't load, and after a few minutes I disconnect with error 90006. Attempted to log back in, I get error 2002. I can post specs later but I'm 100% certain it isn't on my end.

Worth noting, people I know outside of the UK are not affected at all. I'm with Virgin Media in the UK.

Had no issues until Thursday as mentioned above and absolutely nothing has changed on my side.

Edit: The forums are also lagging REALLY BAD on my end and caused a double post x_x

Nothing helps for me

Adding my voice to the fray: the 2nd last server on EU DC (but seeing this here it really is a common trend in all DCs) has been acting up since Tuesday Patch 5.35 on 13.10.2020. It was then temporary resolved after the emergency maintenance 2 days later on Thursday, probably just because it was restarted? One common occurance are these lagspikes:





1089 here being the worst ping. That results in often "freezes" and occassional 90006 kicks from the server.

For the few days since last emergency maintenance you could not observe those giant pings and the connection was smooth like butter.

Popping in here to say I've been dealing with same stuff. I get mostly the 90002 error with a few 90001s sprinkled in. I'm on Aether/Adamantoise in the US. Been playing since april of this year, and only started having problems recently. I'd say it's been happening for a month, but has gotten much worse over time. It's at the point now where it kicks me out after 5 min or so. I've spent hours on these forums and reddit looking for fixes and have tried all the common ones people have talked about, to no avail. I've tried connecting to the wifi at the college I go to, and even setting up a mobile hotspot using my phone.... still crashes regularly. I tried a VPN (protonVPN), but that didn't work either.

I think my next step is to try out some different VPNs and see if I have any luck. If anyone has any that worked for them, let me know. Honestly though, I can't afford to pay for a VPN on top of what I pay for this game. I'm also going to contact SE... I'm not expecting much to come from it, but I could at least add myself to the voices of people who are experiencing this, for what it's worth.

This game has honestly been so great for me this year as a way to meet new people and keep up with friends when covid hit and I moved across the country... now it looks like I can't play anymore, at least for the near future. The rate at which it disconnects just makes it unplayable. Probably won't be renewing my sub for next month. (ya hear that, SE? you're losing money) Hope there's a way to fix this.

Chiming in, I only get the issue in instanced areas (dungeons, interior of houses and diadem to note)

I really want to enjoy this game, but if these issues keep up I wont be able to play realistically.

Just my nickels worth:

After seven different sessions with tech support via email and live chat and being told to try everything mentioned here by others as well, I decided to try creating characters and see if I could log them in.

The first character I created logged in no problem. The second one I created on the same server had the same disconnect issue that my main has, it shows my character at the character select and puts me in the queue, but once clear of the queue almost instant disconnect and error 90002. So I then delete the second newly created character and recreated it then it logged in just fine. So it seems to me that the MP must be right and it is definitely a server issue.

Heya,

in 7 years of playing Final Fantasy XIV, i never had hard issues with the connection - UNTIL NOW
Since Patch 5.35 my characters getting kicked back to login-screen with 90002 Error.

I haven't changed anything in my network, configurations, hard- and software. I always go with the saying "never change a running system".

After the connection-errors appeared, i tried every possible method. Setting Ports, deactivating firewalls, whitelisting, changing DNS, changing Internet Explorer settings, etc. etc.
I tried all the troubleshooting steps which were posted by "Dynratygus".

I even de-installed the game with a complete wipe of all data.
After the re-install it firstly seemed to be okay, then happened again.

The connection-issues keep happening mostly when changing areas or during cutscenes. So everything that causes a loading of the character while in game, results in a 90002 Error.
I even had no packet loss, neither bad connection. My ping was betweend 13 and a maximum of 36.

I'm at the end of ideas and don't want to pay for a VPN to fix this, since this is cleary not my fault.
Network is working perfectly. No losses, connection-aborts, fluctuation in the variety of ping or data-volumes etc.
And of course, i don't use any 3rd Party programs or mods or shaders and the likes.

This ruins the fun to play the game. It's so frustrating, that i can't enjoy a normal tour of daily roulette.

Support clearly needs to adress this kind of problem and come up with a fix. Can't continue playing the game as intended.
