Connection errors

[kn0tlis]

I recently resubbed and played two days without any errors or disconnects. Then I tried logging in the next day and was met with 90002 and 90001 errors endlessly. I googled various solutions including VPNs, changing network settings to use Google's DNS, disabling antivirus, adding exceptions for FFXIV to the firewall, restarting my router, reinstalling the game (twice), and several other fixes suggested on various forums about these network connection errors.

Nothing has worked. At random times I'll be able to connect and play for a few minutes, or an hour sometimes, but it always ends up disconnecting eventually. Most of the time I'll launch the game, connect to my data center, and load my main character, only to load into the server and then get booted back out with a 90002/90001 error 10 seconds after loading in.

I've contacted my ISP (AT&T) and they did not have any solutions. I've done the path tracing command as suggested here (https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...been%20changed.) and here are my three most recent results:

I also submitted a report from this page https://support.na.square-enix.com/c...382&la=1&fty=2 about "Providing information on packet loss and lag"

Please tell me there is a fix for this. I would like to play the game considering I just resubbed...

Much the same issue documented in this mega-thread:

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...server-network

Sadly there's no solution and no official word beyond trying out cloud-hosted servers.
