Error 2002 Workaround

[Aruvius]

Hello all, sorry if this is known, but I found a way around error 2002 that I wanted to share.

It is babysitting the queue, so it's a pain if you have a really long queue, but this has worked for me every time so far (not to say that this will cover every possible root cause of a 2002). If your internet seems fine and this isn't one of those situations that Yoshi P talked about regarding the max queue on the server being hit, this workaround should work.

I noticed that the 2002 error seems to happen at any point between 15 and 30 minutes. Never (for me) before that if I'm in queue. No longer than 30ish minutes before it hits. So the workaround:

1) Login to Lobby, select character, enter world.
2) Wait 10 minutes or less. Any more than that and you risk hitting the error at 15 minutes.
3) At 10 minutes in the queue, launch another game client.
4) Login to lobby (note, you may get the 2002 error here in this second client, but your first client will still be in queue - keep trying until you get to select your character).
5) Join the queue in the second client. You'll be in the queue at the same spot on both clients!
6) On the first client that's been open for 10ish minutes, close the game. You can click cancel and select leave queue, that's fine. You're still in the queue in your 2nd client. I close my 1st client here to avoid any issues with possible connection to lobby still being open.
7) Wait 10 minutes or less, and repeat the process until you get into game.

This has worked consistently for me, and I hope it helps you.
