Cannot connect error 2002

[Lilrich100302]

Anyone getting these errors should run a ping test to a random website to see your connection before/during/after trying to log in to FFXIV.
I have been doing this and FFXIV seems to be causing a overall connectivity issue when you try to login and you should see your internet connection stabilize once it kicks you or you exit out.

ALSO, I notice now when its a connection issue by simply watching how the Rating Screen and "Square Enix" logo show up before you get to the start button. Both will appear as if they are stuttering or it takes a long time to get to the actual start button.

(If you do see some sort of connectivity issue when doing this, there is a sticky up on the tech support forum regarding ISP possibly throttling the connection and it maybe related. Please add your info there for visibility)

Ok so whats the issue when all ports are forwarded ping test is good. Connection is great 92 down 56up. No router hooked up at the moment for the ping test and connection test and to see if i still have the error. Which i didnt before ive been playing since EA after getting past server full issues error started happening after a disconnect last night while i was playing. Now cant get past the error 2002.

I am not sure what the issues is and by no means am I implying it is a connection issue on our end. What I am trying to determine is if FFXIV itself is causing a connectivity issue.

I also did not have any issues with my connection. The only time it gets completely unstable is when I open up FFXIV and it gets better as soon as I turn it off. You can see this for yourself if you run a ping test to a different website and let it run its course while you try to connect to FFXIV. The more information if it is a bigger issue affecting us all the better.

I don't know how, but I just logged in. I just had to keep entering my password and hope t get into the server. Must be an overload of JP players on NA/EU since theirs is down. Maybe that's why were having this connection issue. I could be wrong though
