Please fix the random "90002" disconnect problem once and for all

[MoltresRider]

Ever since Patch 5.5, Final Fantasy XIV randomly disconnect me from the game and gives me the following error message

"90002. Connection to the server was lost."

this has been a daily problem ever since Patch 5.5. It was never a problem prior to patch 5.5. In fact, I would never get a 90002 disconnect error before Patch 5.5 unless it was an internet outage or something. Now it happens every day, sometimes two to three times in one day.

I KNOW that it is NOT my internet as it often happens when I am in queue for duty and I am watching YouTube videos on my other monitor when the game disconnects with 90002 error. Nothing happens to the YouTube video, Spotify, or any other thing on my PC that requires a constant connection. Those keep playing. It is only the game that disconnects.Also, I am able to IMMEDIATELY log back in so it definitely is NOT my internet.

I was hoping that Patch 5.55 would fix the problem but it did not. Neither did any of the subsequent patches.

It just happened again before I started typing this post. One of my characters was in queue for Steps of Faith when we had 7/8 of a party minus a healer according to "forming party" and BAM! 90002 error, I log back in and it has been ONLY me in line for the last 20 minutes. I MISSED the duty with the six others because of a glitch in the game that was implemented in Patch 5.5


Please FIX this once and for all.

I had this issue myself starting pretty much with the beginning of Shadowbringers. My issue is my ISP hits a certain node when playing FFXIV and I would just disconnect every couple of minutes or maybe an hour later. I never actually "fixed" it as such, rather I always use a VPN now. I can't really play any game without a VPN but I'll sure take doing that than disconnecting many times. Hopefully one day it'll get resolved.
