Error 2002 and 90000

Is this something you know for sure? where are you getting this info from and can you show your source? i understand it might take some time to work out the problem. After so many people posting about it you'd think they would give some kind of response. Even if it's just a acknowledgement of the problem.

SE Is looking into it, if you look at the top of the Technical Support Page.

It is kind of unfortunate, I haven't really been able to play reliably at all, let alone being able to even get to the log-in screen.

It is because, if you can use a Network tunnel for example to connect to another Router that is under another ISP, and it lets you connect via there Connection, it shows that its trouble with the ISP, I could play completely fine 3 days ago, But until i started playing i suddenly just couldn't anymore and it would throw me right into a 2002 Error, That shows that a block and throttle was placed, to see if your ISP did the same, Do this simple test.


Load a long Youtube video thats an hour long,
Play the video (preferably music)

Try logging in.

You will notice that the music will stop playing for your youtube video as soon as you try loading the server data.

Why?

Because the packets for the game are grouped together with the youtube video data, So those packets end up being dropped, Making the video instantly Freeze, a pretty simple way to see if a connection is throttled.

Best thing you can do is Contact your ISP, and Complain at them, tell them that you play this game and have heard that they might be throttling the connection, do your best in your power to make them at least open the ports for your data center location.
