Many servers experience technical problems on the day of FFXIV’s Endwalker launch

Fans of multiplayer games know that servers can be affected when major updates are introduced and Final Fantasy XIV Is no exception.

Its latest expansion, Endwalker, was released in early access today and the high number of connections from new and old players around the world has caused some issues that remain unresolved.

At around 6 a.m. CT, three servers experienced technical problems, knocking all players out of the game and leaving them in endless queues when they tried to reconnect.

While players might think they’ll log into those servers when the queue ends, that’s not the case. As they progressed in the queue, it was only because some players chose to leave instead of waiting continuously. If the player leaves the queue and re-enters the queue, they will stay in the same position/

At 5:40 a.m. CT, the first server encountered Those difficulties are Chocobo, from the Mana data server in Japan. As a result, players cannot access the World or on a server other than their character’s. The problem is almost solved 30 minutes laterHowever, players who are still not successfully connecting to the server should restart their game to do so.

The second server in trouble is Phoenix, from the Light data server in Eastern Europe, but it became available again later 30 minutes.

Final, Cerberus is the ultimate server in offline mode, from Europe. It was announced that it was unavailable at 6:53 a.m. CT and its issues are still unresolved by the developer. This article will be updated when it comes back.

While the server is still unavailable, another server has also gone offline: Poisonous boils, from the Elemental data center in Japan.

Since the update was released only a few hours ago, more problems with servers and games are expected to arise in the busy hours later today.
