Unable to update patch files.

Hello,
I'm getting this message when I attempt to load the launcher:

Unable to update patch files.
[11005][20815][20866][19900][32]

I recently played during P4 Beta so my client was current before today, I'm running on Windows 8 and the client is set on XP Service pack 3 in compatibility mode (I tried changing it to Windows 7 already as some have had luck with, didn't do anything).

Really hoping I don't have to uninstall but regardless I'd appreciate a response no matter what the fix is. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks!

"Please wait until the start of the early access period or official launch to access the game."

You did try without setting Compatibility mode?
And run as administrator?
Could you also check the folder where it's installed and check that it's not marked as read only?

1. Right click your FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn folder
2. Click properties and untick Read only.
3. Click apply and then OK.

I wasn't going to answer because there was a huge gap in time between the question and the reply but gooooooo you! I would also add that I use Windows 8 and the client works just fine if that was a concern of the OP.

Awesome! The "Read Only" fix did it! I had run it both with and without Compatibility mode and as administrator, the only new action i took was to change the folder to click off "Read Only". Thanks a lot Nekodar.

Some people are having the EXACT same problem on the PS3 version. Can anyone here assist with that?

No idea for PS3, sorry.
You'll need to bug the devs or support for that I think.
