Lobby server error

[Anrik]

I've got the 2002 error as well. Makes the "start" button greyed out but you can still access the configuration option and the others.

Same thing happened to me. 2002 error first, then unable to update NA/EU server list. I went to make myself a sandwich then tried again, now I logged in smoothly.

Yeah, the Lobby Server is being exceptionally squirrelly this morning. My favorite error so far is getting the "This World is full..." error before even getting to the character selection screen. Have yet to see any acknowledging of the problem though. Hopefully someone on the SQEX side is paying attention.

Please try these steps to see if they resolve the issue.

1)Restart communication equipment
Turn off the power of your communication equipment for 30 minutes to an hour.
Unnecessary data accumulated on the equipment will be initialized, possibly allowing for smoother transmission.

2)Update firmware of communication equipment
Update your ""firmware,"" the program running your communication equipment.
If firmware is outdated, your communication equipment may not function properly, so please update your firmware before trying the version update again.
*Consult with the help manual when updating firmware. Also, even if your firmware is up to date, rewriting it may improve the situation.

3)Check settings for security programs and firewalls
There is a possibility that security programs and firewalls are interfering with files related to the game. Please remove these functions for files related to ""FFXIV: ARR""

4)Check security services of your internet provider
Depending on your internet provider or service plan, there may be security services included.
Please confirm that these security services permit online gaming.

5)Because other applications may interfere with your installation, close any running apps
　The following steps can be followed in msconfig to stop all apps

1. If using Windows7, enter this character string in the search field near the bottom of the start menu
　""msconfig""

2. ""System Configuration"" will be activated.
　Select the ""General"" tab and under the ""Startup Selection"" category, select ""Select startup options""

3. Remove the check from the ""Load startup categories"" box and press the ""Apply"" button

4. Upon clicking the ""OK"" button you will be prompted to restart your computer.
　Windows will be started with the minimum amount of applications running, so please try your download
*Please follow the above instructions at your own risk. Settings will have to be set back to normal after the download.

6)Remove routers
In order to diagnose the issue, remove routers and hubs temporarily.
*This may change your connection to a broadband connection. Please consult with your provider for connection settings.

7)Check router settings
Check the settings of security functions (such as SPI) for your router.
Also, use a port that can be used for the game.

*For details, please consult with the manufacturer of your router.

launcher wont start now.

[_SaInT_]

getting fkn sick of being kicked out of the game when i change zones,, only to wait another hr to be able to get back in... this compounded with the "cancelling of all support tickets cause their are to many" has made for an epic fail for launch.

tough luck if you get Justin or Pierre in your support chat as well, those wankers are fkn useless

Had same issues - 5002, 2002, 1017 before I got to character selection - all after a crash - I rebooted my computer & reset my internet and got the same errors. It seems to be their side not ours, as I kept trying and eventually got into the game.
