Realistically, when will the 2002 and que issue be resolved?

[UkcsAlias]

At this point the 2002 error can occur ~16 times because the client closes the connection to the lobby server ever 15 minutes.

Yet this heavily depends on the time. In weekends this is almost contant during the day (to a point i stopped bothering), but on workdays, 2002's generaly start to happen after 6pm CET, and rarely before that (mananged to get through 6x without getting kicked). Also, from my experience its more like 1k per hour. I have queued many times around 4pm and got in without any 2002, and if they happened, its usualy near 6:30pm (although to be sure, i assume 6pm to be able to catch the moment and preserve my queue spot).

(at least that is an advantage from having to work at home)

Been having a rough few days, and have been a little overwhelmed with real life stuff. Oh Hyperion, the ques are easily still in the thousands. I usually play the game at night to help me wind down, and the que is so long that by the time I'm 3/4 to the goal of being first, i'm dreadfully exhausted, if the que isn't interrupted with the errors.

I'm glad that FFXIV is popular, and I'm glad there will be many more people to play with, but as it stands, the game is borderline unplayable, and I've only managed to play maybe 4 hours this week. My optimism is dying down, and being replaced with frustration.

In short: Realistically, when will this game be fixed and playable again?

the game itself is VERY playable. the problem is currently getting in.

teh queue will likely be around for a while.

the errors, they said they have a hard time tracking it down. given if they cannot reliably replicate the error, it makes it far more difficult. given people have varying degrees of internet connectivity which can also affect it, that adds in another variable. everyone says "prior to early access I logged in fine" of course you did. chances are you werent in a queue long enough to notice a problem.

given this is affecting people on heavily populated servers, I imagine it actually is a priority for resolution. but, as to timeframe, anyones guess if they cant figure out the exact cause.

I forgot where I heard it from, but the 2002 error has got some sort of bizarre non-meaning behind it. I gotta find the details, but it's surprising.

well what ever they did last week worked for me. i was getting 2002 error every 10 min or so or just getting it by going into the lobby (Europe Light), But after the fix no crashes for me even after being in queue for 3-4 hours before i'm able to play. hope they will resolve it for other servers it's strange thought that the fix they did did not work for everyone

The chip shortage issue is annoying when the player base use it for an answer about everything.


Even though I don't have your issue op, my friends do and I play mmos with my friends, so if my friends can't do what I can do. Aka wake up around 3 to 6 am and play. Than the game is less enjoyable for me.

The errors is my main concern. Even if it got some better. We need a grace period for getting dc in game, to get right back in.

Making the login client more resilient and not closing on a 2002 error and disconnect protection is very important. In fact, a 2002 error should auto retry for a few minutes before dying.

If you disconnect at peak time in the game, your day is over. There is no recovery on my server as it’s 7,000+ at peak.

Ya, and players have a right to be upset about this. This is a coding issue, The long queue times is a chip issue, but being punished with errors, and dcs? That is on them.

[Larirawiel]

The chip shortage is real. In normal times you ordered a server at Dell or HPE and one week later it was ready to ship. Now you wait 1 - 2 months for standard hardware. And we do not know which hardware the FF14 servers need. If it is something very special then good luck.

After more than a year, I still unable to buy PS5. I've also waited for months trying to get Ryzen 9 5900X and RTX 3080. After the long wait, I finally got it.

Consequences of COVID. People stay at home. More buying PC hardware to work from home (and gaming). Businesses have to adapt to it. Work from home systems is one of them.
