Error 2002 after the patch

[DorkyEllie89]

Hey guys and gals, a fellow Bulgarian here. ☺️ My partner and I started experiencing the same error yesterday after the patch. As he plays on PC, he tried using VPN and it worked. So, any of you who have VPN could try it as a workaround. Good luck!

A few already mentioned the issue is fixed when using a VPN. But this isn't an adequate solution to the issue.

I have the same issue, am also in Bulgaria.

Well glad to see I'm not the only one, same issue with me (from Bulgaria as well). Got a response on my ticket about changing DNS server, didn't help. I'm actually shocked how they are allowing this to happen and nothing is mentioned anywhere but here. This is a serious issue, considering we were all fine a day ago. Really don't understand why this is happening.

I also received the generic reply for changing the DNS servers and MTU, but nothing else. I doubt the issue is with our ISP providers as we didn't have any issues before the patch released.

SE should acknowledge this publicly at least.

Welcome to SE support Through the years I had the similar issue few times (per year) and not even once they acknowledged there is an actual problem. To be honest I don't expect any response this time as well.

I hope they resolve the issue quickly, i just resubbed and this happens... "sad face" .(also from bg here)

Yeah, I know VPN is not adequate, especially if you play on PS4 like me. xD But it's kind of a temporary workaround for some people at least. Hope it's resolved soon, I NEED to finish Stormblood. xD

What will get me mad is if they force us to get VPN without saying what's the problem hahaha, I would like to know what the issue is and have it be acknowledged to everyone.

Hey. So, I received an email from SE TS. They suggested I change my DNS addresses, but when I did it caused the launcher to show a ' Boot Error: unable to complete version check' pop-up. I changed back to the original settings and still am locked out.

BTW, Hi, you guys! I'm from the UK but I live in BG. I never realised there were so many Bulgarians playing
