I'm able to log back in, but I'm gonna wait a hot minute before I log everyone else in. I dont want to do the tedious login process just for the issue to not be fixed and I get yeeted again in 5 min.

For those that still can’t login:

Type into windows search cmd, press enter.
Type into the command window: „ipconfig /flushdns“ without the „“
Press enter.
Restart pol viewer or windower, it worked for me after that.

It seems to be stable now. Maybe they pressed the eject button.

Not sure how this would impact XI, whose servers were all in Japan afaik, but there ya go.

I have a feeling they say it's a DDOS even if it's not, and it's actually their problem. People are a lot more understanding if you say it's a DDOS, if they admit it's a basic server fault they might get demands for refunds.

Was kinda surprised to learn XIV has more than one unofficial status website:

* https://xivstatus.com
* https://arrstatus.com

XI fans gotta step up our game, we're old and lazy now. :P

There's no nightclubs for afk people in XI so we don't care if the servers go down or not.

Every single day, unrelated to the recent stuff, I get one character that gets this. If my game is idle and the monitor is off, this rarely happens. The moment I sit at the PC and start looking at youtube etc, I check the characters they are all there. Then randomly I will get just a single charater kicked. Its always just one character and usually my main or a random one. With this message or 4001



Like wth, I really wonder whats happening. That someone mentioned before if there was a windows option on that limits data to unused instances, I checked and its off. I have no clue why this has been happening for over 4 months lol.

Do you log into each account in the same order? Perhaps whichever port the disconnecting one is using is being interfered with somehow when you tab out and start streaming stuff?

I should warn you that I'm not a doctor, so I'm only guessing.

Mother ***. Are they getting ddosed again.

Guess this time it is just me

I love switching to phone hotspot, logging in, then a few hours later switching back to the router and logging in again. Just makes my *** day.

So many that it will crash the game when I add another one, 300(+) (per pc)

(upon creation of the folder and the new character starts, the game crashes but the folder stays there, so you just log back in)
