Launcher error -2146697211

Hello.

Three hours ago, when I was trying to log onto the game, I got an error message right when opening the launcher.

"A system error has occurred: -2146697211
http://frontier.ffxiv.com/arr_win/index.html?rc_lang=en-us&time=2014-04-29-04"

It won't let me log in or anything; it actually closes the launcher window after I click OK.

Sometimes this window pops up instead:

FFXIV Boot Error
Unable to complete version check.
[30605][10009][10020]

Are there any known solutions?

Thank you for your time!

I just kept spamming and after 10 tries it let me into an almost empty server :P
