I woke up to the sme problem. But I'll assume it's because of the maintenence their doing on the worlds and just wait like I did yesterday. Waiting to play a new game sucks but FF and crew are worth it.

[Svarngrim]

Maintenance should be done by now. Plenty of people in other threads talking about being on. I' getting the same 2002 error.

2002 is killing me

Same error since phase 4 , can only play with vpn on

I had this problem when I bought the game yesterday. The solution I found on reddit was to download and run a program called Spotflux. That it fixed it for me.

[Replica9]

Spotflux is a vpn program but makes the game very laggy

[Oridan]

At least it's something until SE fixes the error. I hope they fix it soon though.

After contact with support they send me a email saying

- If using a router, try bypassing the router and plugging directly into the modem.

- Some users have found that resetting their networking equipment has resolved this issue. To do this unplug all your networking equipment and wait about 3 - 5 minutes. Start with your modem and work towards your computer, giving each device at least 2 - 3 minutes to start up fully.

- If you are using any kind of software/hardware Internet Sharing service/device the following ports need INCOMING access to your PC. TCP 80, 8080, 443, 55296~55551, UDP 55296~55551, also check to make sure that the ports mentioned are not blocked by your ISP for INCOMING access. Proper configuration of any of the above items mentioned should be done by following the instructions in the software /hardware manual or calling the manufacturer's technical support.
