If you are having problems logging in try this!

For error 3102 I agree entirely that this working is entirely a coincidence, since the issue is that the server still thinks your character is logged in. You could move to China, buy a brand new PC and connect to it via Satellite internet and it wouldn't change the fact that the server still thinks your character is twiddling their thumbs somewhere in Eorzea...

Tried all the solutions as described here. Nothing worked. Over a hour now that i gives me this error. I wonder what causes these errors?

EDIT:

Okay now i suddenly got to login. Not after any of these solutions. Just an hour after i recieved the error code. Everyone else had to wait a hour or did others login much sooner after getting the error code?

What causes these errors is massive congestion on the back-end servers that handle moving characters around between servers. They get lost and 2 servers don't communicate with each other properly, so one that reports to the lobby servers thinks you're still logged in based upon never receiving a disconnect notice from the server that handles timed out sessions.


That's why flushing out your DNS is going to make no change, as their servers would be the ones requiring a refresh.

For some reason, I was able to log in after doing this.

It worked for me. Said my account was still logged in Error 3102. Did this. Boom. can log in again.

wow, I love you, it works!

Really still going to have to say that either the users claiming it worked are trolling, or SE is going through and fixing them and it just so happened your character was fixed between the last time you tried to login and the time you logged in after trying this....

If this doesn't work check to see if you're getting the same exact IP before and after you do this. I say this because I got the same IP after /release & /renew. So I went into my router's setting and manually set my IP address to a different IP using DHCP reservations. I would explain how, but it varies from router to router. In general, you can access most routers by typing your default gateway into a web brower's URL field. When you do /ipconfig it shows you the default gateway, which for most routers is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (which is mine). But some routers come with their own software to change router settings, and the default password will differ based on the manufacturer/model of the router and whether or not you have received it or changed it before with some kind of provided setup software. This was the case for me, so I had saved my router password from when I set up the router with the software, and I have to launch this specific web interface tied to an email login. YMMV, and lastly I should mention this is a bit more of an advanced solution for more technically skilled users.

No, not trolling at all.
I think the characters remains online until your connection/ip is active, even if you are out of the game.
If you turn your router off, the characters crashes and you can log back in, it really worked for me, and I doubt SE fixed it for me, since last time I got this error I couldn't login for a whole day.

Hmm... been thinking, aren't SE doing hourly house keeping on characters in the 3102 situation and forcing a logoff on them? You may simply be seeing your character come back because of that.
