DDOS attack

[littlehobbit13]

Error 90002 occurs when your system closes the connection to the game, because it assumes it's dead. This is the most common disconnection error because usually your system calls it quits before the server does.

90006 happens when the server closes the connection because it's given up trying to communicate with you, usually due to excessive packet loss.

2002 happens when you are trying to connect to the lobby server but the lobby does not respond in time.

Those error codes are nothing special, they are just generic HTTP/TCP etc. status codes and flags that SE has chosen to obfuscate with a numerical code.

This.

People are acting like the devs are just brushing it off and not taking it seriously but we legit know the answers to all these error codes. On top of that, the devs don't OWE any player information about their daily operations and what specifically they're doing to address any problems. It's cool that they try to keep us informed, but we need to not let the frustration over this inconvenience transform into some kind of entitlement to their business operations information.

at the moment I’m sort of glad it’s happening but it will then make future attacks less effective if they can find and plug what vulnerabilities are causing this

Oh 100%. We're gonna be our own unintentional DDoS when DT drops, we don't need a malicious one happening on top of that. More than happy to have this be happening now so they can find the holes and plug them up during a content lull with nothing major at stake. I'm sorry you missed a rare fish, I'm sorry it interrupted an craft and you lost mats, but better that than millions of players not being able to do major content like MSQ.
