How did you get the 3102 error?

[jayquik03]

I won't be able to play till later and I might not even bother. From what i'm seeing people are randomly being dropped/crashed from game and then not able to log in again. This does not seem to be the case

Has anyone had an abnormal crash (People that never crashed before today) only to return with a 3102 error?

Have you been kicked from the game because of this error or another error only to return to this error?
A.Yes, Final Fantasy XIV has stopped working error will lead to error 3102 (because of being logged out when game crashes)
A2.It's possible that "You have been disconnected from server" error may not lead to 3102 error

If you log out on your own using the exit option does this error still happen?
A.Logging out correctly has resulted in a 3102 error

Just characters on 1 server?
A.NO

just 1 character on 1 server?
A.NO

Does it lock out all your characters on every server for 1 region?
A.YES

Characters on Japanese/EU/NA servers all together?
A.YES

Has everyone today gotten this error eventually?
A.NO

Have you avoided this error by not logging out?
A.YES

How long have some people played before getting this error? Hours, Minutes?
A.Hours as long as you don't log out or are dropped from the game

If you could do it again would you not log in so that your character wouldn't be locked out for an indefinite amount of time or would you try it again hoping for the best?

I understand people are pissed and i'm sure there are many people out there that would rather not give sound advice as to what can be done to avoid this error but i'm hoping some people will be kind enough to seriously spread the knowledge of what they know.

~TIA

I logged in pretty early after the servers came back on, around 3:30 PDT. Played for a while, logged off in a Sanctuary while I took a shower and ate breakfast before leaving for work.

My wife asked me to send her some gathering gear, so I logged on real quick to send it to her, hit with the 3102 while trying to log back in.

My wife has tried logging me in a few times over the past few hours while I am here at work to see if 3102 had gone away, no luck.

Thank you for the info i'll add it to my post. Sorry to hear about your issues. Is your wife able to play without a problem?

My wife is at home, playing just fine. She hasn't logged out yet though, and probably won't be now lol.

Currently lost any respect i had for Squar Enix...

I blame the guys in charge of the servers for fucking things up at every turn.

I seriously hope they get fired by the end of this week...

Has anyone pinpointed a specific reason as to why the crashes happen or is there a general consensus as to what people were doing in game before they get the 3102 error?

If you log out on your own using the exit option does this error still happen?

Anyone here not logged in because of fear their character will be locked out?

Does it lock out all your characters on every server?

Just characters on 1 server?

Me and my Fiancee were on Skype and I wanted to get the game sound coming through my headset so I exited out of the game normally than loaded it back up only to receive the nice 3102 error! Yes it blocks me from logging on any other character on the NA/EU realm. Been getting it for over an hour now hooray!

[Kheni]

this is funny after i wrote a letter i had myself banned somehow just by putting out some very selected non sarcastic words whats that say

[Facespasm]

Oh and on topic.

I logged out 4 hours ago to do some work.

Came back 10 minutes ago to log back in and i got the message telling me i was not logged out and have to wait a few moments before trying again.

[Daniel_Black]

I used the "Exit Game" option to log out and I could not log back in.

[SplineCL]

I used the "Exit Game" option to log out and I could not log back in.

Same here.

Looks like they are aware of the issue:
