Error 2002 after the patch

[AriannaStormwake]

i have the same issue too from Bulgaria it is not my internet connection it is stable
after the maintenance i was able to do squadron missions and pvp but after that DCs and back to back 9002/2002 errors
one website has the DCs ip i think? in a topic regarding this issue and running a tracert in cmd with the EU one shows 5 rows of "request timed out"

How is this SE's fault? Everyone here is from the same area so stands to reason that they all use the same pathway to the server so obviously a path along the way is overloaded. The fact that some people say that a vpn helps kind of confirms this issue.
I know it sucks big time but there is nothing anyone can do here.

Same, I m from Bulgaria, and after today's patch I cannot log in into the EU datacenters, I have a char on the Japanese DC's too and I have no problems logging in there. Also, my internet is pretty much fine.

Well, that's not entirely true. Firstly, the ||tracert to the SE servers and networks passes trough the local ISP's and is able to route but unable to connect. In other words, the information sent is not be "accepted" trough it's standard route. Could be any number of software issues. (This is what the VPN working proves, when the packages are routed trough a different path, they connect. Mind you, they still use the same physical medium while using VPN, just the routing and hops would differ.). And while the claim of the named country having small player base may be true, the named country has very good Tier 2 ISP with multiple links, especially in Europe: In other words, it is fixable in more than one way. Especially with that amount of traffic. But yes, it's well beyond our hands and their network teams have to address this.

Not really sure about it. There were other cases when bulgarians were not able to log in because fo 2002, but it was only people using specific internet provider, meaning that bulgarians actually connect from different paths. So somehow they managed to block the region itself. I have no idea how Georgia got involved in that

When trying to ping both EU servers I cannot reach them at all. I can ping all other servers without any losses at all. It stands to reason that it's a server issue.

I hope SE will fix the problem soon ;c
I can't live without XIV

Just want to add that I managed to play for a few hours after the patch, so it's not directly caused by the patch itself.

One more, joining for the same issue in Bulgaria. I checked with friends from other countries in the EU, but looks like we are the only ones affected.
I also submitted a support request, so we shall see. (Сериозно, след близо три години игра съм шокирана, колко много сънародници има наоколо, което е странно. Но предполагам, вината е моя, че съм се забила на сървара с французите. XD).
Definitely sounds like a server side issue, or more like the "gateway" to the server itself. If it is a whole region affected, it should not have anything to do with the local providers. VPN can help, because technically it lets you use another gateway, I guess, but it is not really solving the issue.
