Lobby server error

[Sekhmet]

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.

Same as some other people here:

C++ Runtime Error crash when playing for maybe 30 minutes upon loading a new zone. Restart computer, got a error 2146697211 from the FFXIV launcher. Wouldn't load. Then would load but would have a blank screen. Then would go further with a blank "play" button. Then Errors 2002 and 5006. Then finally got in to press the start button and immediately 1017. Then was able to get to the frozen Character Screen with a 1017. Then last and finally, Unable to contact EU/NA servers. Awesome. 2 quests in 2 hours this morning.

EDIT: Gents, it's NOT us....their ridiculously generic "reset routers/connections (power up/power down)" is positively moronic.

Getting 2002 errors and "Server Full" when I log in and after I log in and get to server selection. Also, does anyone notice that the FFXIV websites are really lagged down as well? (ARR Forum/Lodestone).

same issue on JP server - Atomos

it seems widespread. Did any of you have a crash on exit last time you played?

My game crashed before i got this 2002 error code. However, my game crashed whilst i was doing a quest, not by way of logging out.

I got a windows error message saying that the application had hit a snag and have to shut down.

I followed the instructions in the sticky about the 2002 issue but that didn't help one bit, which didn't really surprise me.
