Unable to complete version check

Idk, normally if there's maint, it doesnt error me out - it just says I can't login due to maintenance. The error I've gotten today and yesterday are completely new to me.

I'm having the same problem on PS4. The Updater/Launcher won't download the newest version so when I get to the login screen and go to login it gives me the error. Hopefully they fix it soon, I've been trying every 15-20 minutes for the past 2 hours with no luck.

My internet connections are fine, PSN is working fine, it just won't start downloading the update for the Updater/Launcher when I start the game. Is there a way to download it on my computer and then load it onto the PS4, or am I just stuck playing the waiting game?

1.) Go to My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
2.) Open up FFXIV_BOOT.cfg in Notepad
3.) Change the line "BootVersionCheckMode" number from 0 to 1.
4.) Launch and you should be good to go!

Spread the love!

Unfortunately, this isn't resolving my problem. Still getting the error message.

For the record there is a PSN update...in about nine hours that's expected to last hours.

I really, really, really hope they don't wait for the PSN to update before they do anything. This is my one day off to play this week :(

First I wish they would let us know that they're at least aware of the issue..

I actually wonder if anyone's still in the office there. It's just passed midnight in Japan :/

changing the cfg worked for me, thanks!

Found a way to force the patch !

go to : ..\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot and open ffxivboot.ver in notepad or a text editor and change the last number to 0

What it should look like : 201x.xx.xx.0000.0001 - > 201x.xx.xx.0000.0000

Save & boot your game again its should patch your patcher back & force the patch too !

Looking enviously at all you people with your homebrewed solutions, none of which are possible on PS4 :(

I'm really not impressed with this. I'm still too new a player for the affected content to be relevant to me, I think. I just wanted to run around Gridania since I finally got there last night :(

Sadly for you, the new content is very relevant to you. Everyone starts at level 1 in the palace of the dead and with the same items. :( Having started only last month, I was really looking forward to enjoying new content first together with everyone who's been playing for a long time. Unfortunately I've been stuck for 6 and a half hours trying to get the game to patch.
