Common Issues
Old Version Error (4002, -62)
If you receive the following message:
You have been disconnected because you tried to connect with an old version. Application will now shut down. (code = 4002, -62)
as of now, there are 4 common causes for this problem:
- C++ 2015 (x86) is not installed
- d3dx9_43.dll is missing
- Windows Firewall, Defender, or antivirus deleted JFTSE.dll
- The game files are out of date
Fix 1: C++ 2015 (x86) is not installed
Install the Visual C++ Redistributable (x86):
Download C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable
Fix 2: d3dx9_43.dll is missing
If you receive an error saying that d3dx9_43.dll is missing, install the DirectX runtime:
Download DirectX End-User Runtime
Fix 3: JFTSE.dll was deleted
Windows Defender, Firewall, or third-party antivirus software may block, quarantine, or delete JFTSE.dll.
What to do:
- Check your antivirus quarantine
- Restore JFTSE.dll if it was removed
- Add the full game folder to your antivirus or Defender exclusions
- Make sure the anti-cheat files are not being blocked
Fix 4: Files are out of date
Always launch the game with:
FT_Launcher.exe
This will check for updates and download missing or outdated files.
User Already Logged In (4002, -2)
If you receive the following message:
This user id is currently logged on. Please try again later. (code = 4002, -2)

This can happen if the game did not close correctly, the connection was interrupted, or the previous session did not reset properly.
What to do:
- Wait a few minutes and try again
- Make sure the game is fully closed
- Restart the launcher and try again
- If the problem continues, contact the moderators through @ModMail

Reduce Lag, Delay via Vpn Gamer for South American Players
Notice: This is information of public interest.
Since the JFTSE Fantasy Tennis server is located in Europe, the only way for South Americans to have a direct connection is through a gaming VPN; this is a fact. Although, depending on the region and routes, they may not suffer as much, they can still have an even better experience when trying to play in Europe.
You can try using ExitLag's paid VPN, which costs $27 dollars for 365 days, and that's what Is recommended because, in addition to making the connection more stable, it also reduces lag, delay maximum as possible. Or you can use Cloudflare's with warp free VPN, which offers a significant reduction, although there's more variation.
First, here are the links to free days to test ExitLag:
How to use it? Always open the ExitLag program, search for Fantasy Tennis in the program's search bar, and select the Automatic Europe route. After applying the routes, then minimize the program and open FT_Launcher to play and enjoy.
Now cloudflare with warp free vpn:
Download the CloudFlare with warp in english
How to use it? Always open the CloudFlare program, click the gear icon, select the option 1.1.1.1 with warp, and activate it using the large button, then minimize the program and open FT_Launcher to play and enjoy.
Notes
- Do not launch outdated executables directly if FT_Launcher.exe is available
- If the launcher does not repair the client, reinstall the game files and update again
- If security software keeps deleting files, create a permanent exclusion for the full game folder
- If login problems continue, use @ModMail on Discord
