Are you using XIview or the new speed loading addon.
All these zones work fine for me and there are lots of other people in them. RadialArcana said: » Are you using XIview or the new speed loading addon. All these zones work fine for me and there are lots of other people in them. It is either caused by a .dat mod or a problem introduced by SE.
Has anyone successfully accessed one of those zones since the update? That would let us narrow it down to an SE problem.

That would let us narrow it down to an SE problem. I've gone in reisenjima fine with xiview as it was yesterday, escha-zitah too.
I use nextgames/ashenbubs mods in xipivot and xiview overwrote my normal files, not had an issue yet. Could it be the usual black screen issue that is fixed by thorny's 4gb patch? Don't think so but still. I've had no issues yet in those zones (didn't go to laloff tho) I dont use any dat mods other than XI view, it repaired those files, Mhaura, Port San d'Oria and Lower Jeuno, all 3 different characters.
Plus Port Jeuno, Escha Zi'tah, Reis, Laloff Amphitheater from HP #5 all fine for me.
Zoned into ru'ann HP#1 and disconnected. Can't get in now, constant black screen.

I have lots of zone mods, lots of other mods, I don't use XIview (i don't think it's this), I don't use gearswap or packetflow.
Zero problem accessing any of these zones at all, there are also people in them. If I was a mod problem the game would normally just crash to desktop, if it's kicking you back it's something else. Black screen timing out could be ISP / DNS related, may find some link with ISP Offline

Update was very quick for me, just seconds, logged in 2 accounts with no problem but now I am scared to leave town.
Gonna zzz for a few. TYVM for the help/input guys, and GL whoever else gets booted.

If it's a dns prob sometimes a vpn can fix it, or a friend can log you on and move you (cause it's sometimes only certain zones (different zones are on different servers or soemthing) or you can sometimes fix it by logging in on another computer. Last resort can just wait for it to fix itself too (assuming it actually is a dns prob)
This seems like the same connection dropped issue that's been around forever, maybe something caused it to happen more often.
Typically, logging in from another location or VPN will allow you to use that zone, but your initial IP has some form of session remaining and will not be able to return to that zone even after being moved. It clears itself up after 24 hours, if that is the cause. KujahFoxfire said: » Is it potentially server based? A few of us reporting issues are on Bahamut and others confirming its OK are on Asura.

Some file that was floating around here. Those are what I use so it's somwhere in there. Stuck in loading window to North Sandy I believe. Also created a brand new character for science and she is stuck in black window as well. (I don't actually need/use some of those so this is, at least, a nice reminder that I need to turn off some of them if this gets resolved). So I just did a network reset, restarted my machine and logged right in. You can just search for this or pull up Network settings. Good luck!
Just wanted to give my 2 cents and experience with this situation. I've been able to login on all my chars since after the maint ended. I went to both Escha zones, Reisen, all of Jueno, Bastok, Windy, Sandy as well. Haven't had any issues and no disconnects/black screens at all. I also saw multiple people in all of those zones, so many people seem to be ok regarding this connection topic.
I'm using tons of DAT mods for the game, a mix of the ones found on here and some I custom worked on myself. Also using Ashita with a lot of addons and plugins so none of that seems to of affected this issue others are having since after the update. It's really strange that some people are having the issue and some are not. I wonder what the root cause of it is? Another crisis resolved by the mighty "did you try unplugging it, waiting a moment, and plugging it back in".
In my case, I reset my hotspot and then reset my PC once my hotspot had come back up. Logged in clean vanilla and it was okay. Tried logging in via windower and it was okay.

This is what triggered me to think outside the box, honestly probably could have restarted like Kujah but network reset is the route I did and it now works. http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news26764.shtml
