Ugh, brace for problems down the line when disabling anything using msconfig. Ten years in IT has shown me that such actions are a mistake that leads to OS re-installation.
Sigh, I almost said my farewells over this.
But this just seems to be an extension of my problem last month of not being able to load the game launcher without the similar error showing up.
I discovered my solution was to very quickly click on the launcher upon startup.
And when the patch/update server started acting the same why yesterday... took me a day or two for the light bulb to flash. Do the same thing!
Very quickly click on the launcher upon start up and Asap sign into the game, and this time, it started downloading the newest patch.
Something isn't letting me activate ffxiv unless it's at the start when the pc is still loading. But I guess I should count my blessings...
I do all what is write there, but there is no result :(
Try turning off sleep mode, had this problem before and that fixed it.
I had this exact same issue and it seems that the script launch errors (black launch screen) and this coincide with each other. I had a malware virus download on my computer last night. Since i was already trying to figure out a solution to the black launch screen it seems that the launcher uses internet explorer as a shell. So I deleted the Malware program (it was called scorpion ad or something) and restarted my computer. then I got this error of unable to check version. So I ran the program Malware Bytes (cnet download) and everything seems to be running fine. See if this solution works. The programs free, might as well give it a shot.
Well, I'm getting these. Turned off firewall/antivirus, replaced boot folder, not working.
@Zarix Did MWB find anything?
@gothmog
Yes, it found a bunch of malware. after i did that, it worked fine. did you try it?
