Protocol Time out error... POL 3113 too >_<

*sigh* I've been having the same 3113 error problem since the update. I didn't download the update in the same exact day, I did it 1 day after I think, it downloaded perfectly fine. I read that the exact day of the update release many people had problems downloading it, some server congestion. Since the update, everytime I try to log on, it gets stuck at "Acquiring Player data", then after a few minutes, it shows the error 3113 protocol timeout error.

Definetely it's some SE screwing, again. I wanna try what Ishamell said, but I'm afraid I'm gonna screw something and then it'd get worse. I don't know what to do, it's been like this for a few days now. I hope SE finds the error and fixes it.. =\ I just wanna know how to change my IP address in any Windows option or something (step by step^^; ), mine it's assigned by DHCP.. (in spanish I think) and I've read that changing IP has helped many people to solve this problem >_<

Right when I feel like playing again, after almost 2 months of break, this happens :P geez...

I want to know, that even after seeing this message, were they ever able to get back? I mean by pure patients as well. I don't really like changing anything. Even so, I wouldn't know how.
 
I took my cable that was going into my router and connected it straight to my ISP modem. after that ffxi working fine. i plugged it back into my router and im having the same "acquiring ffxi server data" screen problem. I also changed my MAC address and IP address on the client computer(which i play ff11 on). no dice :(

Did you switch anything off after changing cords?
 
I haven't been able to get back on. I tried the ip renew thing I saw somewhere, restarting my modem, my computer, everything and no use. Checked files to see if there were errors, everything's fine. I don't use router, my modem is directly connected to the PC, and my ISP modem doesn't have that USB thingie, just the ethernet cable slot o.O; Since it's weekend, I don't think there's gonna be any fixing soon, until Monday (hopefully). I'll just wait and see what happens. I don't wanna change or move anything because I'm not a computer tech :P I can break things but I can't repair them >.>;

Are these problems on PCs? I am on 360 and i have not had a single problem.

People using PS2 and PC have been reporting these problems. I play on PC. Even though players are getting different errors, some 3113, others 1363, others 4001 I think... it's server side problem definetely >_< SE saying there's nothing wrong with their servers... I don't believe it. =(

EDIT: I just checked many FFXI forums, Xbox 360 users are having these problems too.

Ok. So... So far I can't zone into Sealion's Den, Meriphataud Mountains or Port Jeuno. These are my "dead zones". SE refuses to take blame for this, instead blaming IP addresses. I'm not an idiot, I know that there is no way this is an IP addresses fault.

That's what's so damned infuriating about it. It's too random on this end to be our problem, it just seems like SE, like always, doesn't want to do jack about anything that requires thought or energy. It's people with and without routers, different service providers, different locations in the country, different types of internet connections... SE needs to get their shit together.

Sorry for the multiple quotes.
Is there any chance that these are all the same cable companies lines?
I also have Time warner and I know they own Comcast and Roadrunner.
Maybe we can find out everyone's ISP so we try and do all that we can. Made me miss Dynamis.

Mmmm my ISP is different from theirs and I'm having problems too >_<;

ISP: eGO
 
Thats true but they could be owned by Time warner. Just a thought.
 
Time Warner and Road Runner are the same company I believe. However - I for sure am not going through them as an ISP. None of the IPs I hit tracing out are IP ranges owned by Time Warner.
 
Insight Communications is a much smaller company that is locally owned, definitely not owned by TW. ^^
 
Rawr!!!

My character has been stuck in Riverne Site #A01 since I entered the zone Saturday afternoon... I get the dreaded R0 as soon as I log and watch as my character disconnects with no way to dezone.. Now I have spent the last 24 hours going through various FFXI forums and i see a lot of threads with a lot of people showing the same issues, but I have not seen a definite sure fire fix to the problem. Some people have changed their IP and lo and behold its a miracle the game is working.. this has not worked for me. I have talked to my ISP and they have not been able to assist me in resolving the issue. So this leaves me with contacting SE.. mind you they have sent their auto reply emails to my requests for assistance, but not a peep out of them since they all got back to work today in Japan... I'm sure they have thousands of emails on this topic, but at least post something to offer direction and solutions other than "so sorry... not our fault.. bye bye now." Ummm... is this what I paid for??? :rtfm:

Phone lines are gonna be busy tomorrow.. If someone gets a viable solution that works, please post it so we all don't go postal..

Cheers Railzz
 
I have lost a character in Promy-Mea, cant zone it out as data is still downloading and the warp thing wont work....

I cannot enter the following places as any character without getting a R fall to 0 and dc about 45 seconds later.

Valkrum Dunes
Bastok Mines
Bibiki Bay
Promy-Mea

There may be others but I havent found them yet, this makes traveling arounf the world somewhat unpleasent now as I get the bad feeling that next zone will log me out. I've put in GM calls and had no response, my FFXI gaming experience has been affected by this post-update problem and I know many people are being affected in simlar ways in the same or other zones.

Somebody goofed at SE and them telling us over and over the problem is at our end isnt convincing anyone.
 
I haven't had one R0 issue since the update. Granted, I haven't been to every zone to check, but I know I was in Bastok Mines yesterday, and had no problem. I must be one of the lucky ones...
 
I haven't had any problems with "dead zones", but I have instantly dc'd 3 times now when trying to <aura steal> buffs from a mob. Two of those times 4/6 people from my party also dc'd, and the other time the only person standing around me from my party dc'd.

I didn't bother reading every thread, but has anyone else had this problem?
