Error 2002 after the patch

[ivobonev]

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.

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.

A quick update for you guys.

Using a VPN works as a woraround, but i hope they fix it, even tho the playerbase in Bulgaria is super small, cause that adds to the sub and i would not want to keep using it indefinitely.

hello which vpn do you use ? any program specific for free

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

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.

well it cant be a ddos attack
recent one was Crystal Diabolos the cause"server program issue" other was overloaded equipment
the first one details were players unable to access affected worlds so that might be our issue

Also from Bulgaria, also getting 2002 error. My friend who is still on the free trial has the same issue. Good thing another FC member could take care of the garden in my stead.

Created a support ticket, and also mentioned this thread too. I hope we get a fix soon.

could the issue be Server-based/Data Center-based
if i can not connect to the DC i cant play the game?
