G99 Error with zero changes on my end/no servers down?

    So G99 is supposed to be a server connection problem.

    Yet I have changed /nothing/ since I last played (tues/wed?), and have had a minor update to PS2.

    After said update, I am no longer able to progress past 94% on the main loading screen. It closes the game and kicks me to the G99 error page.


    Again; zero changes to my firewall/router/internet/ANYTHING on my computer since I last played.
    Every place I can find to look at server status (twitter didn't have anything about it, the forums status says up, the server status from the launcher's gear icon says up) says the servers are functioning.

    I have ALSO validated the game files, with no problems.

    Any ideas, or is there just no hope? :/

    Okay no I'm a bloody freaking idiot of a human.

    Turns out I had managed to somehow bump UP a firewall setting instead of down.

    Did not find out until I had restarted the machine and suddenly Steam itself wasn't able to connect.


    Humble apologies SoE, glad I didn't rage any harder.

    Glad you were able to figure everything out :)
    Those sneaky antivirus/firewalls tend to block the game sometimes (due to updates and whatnot) so glad you were able to isolate the problem. See ya in game!
