Boot error [30605] [504]

Tried starting the game up today and was getting a boot error [30605] [504]. Thing was it was working fine last night when I played last. Computer didn't have any recent update to OS since last week.

I tried turning off antivirus etc and checked my task managers and unistalled any recent programs. Nothing is working and really don't want have to reinstall unless as a last resort.

Maintenance. Works for no one. Look at the Lodestone ;)

I am getting the error listed above.

I was able to connect yesterday, and none of my security settings or other system settings have been changed.

I've reset both my router and my computer system, and confirmed I'm able to navigate to both this site and others.

None of the security settings on the router hardware have been changed since I was able to successfully connect.

The game is offline for maintenance and patch 4.4.
See:
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...fb61f453ef6cd2

Also, yesterday and before, when you logged into the game, you got a pop-up screen that had all of the info on the downtime, which is happening now until around 3:00AM PDT 9/18

"Upon the release of Patch 4.4, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds at the time below, during which FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

*During this maintenance the patch server will be taken offline, at which time, attempting to use the client will result in an error message. The patch server is scheduled to be restarted on Sep. 17, 2018 3:00 (GMT) / 4:00 (BST). However, the actual time is subject to change.

*This will be the first large patch for the PlayStation®4 version of FINAL FANTASY XIV since the migration to the PlayStation®4 patch system. Immediately after the start of the scheduled maintenance, we will be releasing an update file for users of the PlayStation®4 version of FINAL FANTASY XIV.

[Date & Time]
Sep. 17, 2018 10:00 to Sep. 18, 2018 10:00 (GMT) Sep. 17, 2018 11:00 to Sep. 18, 2018 11:00 (BST)
* Completion time is subject to change.

[Affected Worlds]
All Worlds

* The World Transfer Service will be suspended 30 minutes before maintenance begins, and will be unavailable until maintenance has ended.

* Certain features in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Companion app will be unavailable until maintenance has ended.

* Any duty recorder data recorded prior to this maintenance can no longer be replayed after this maintenance."

Well, it would seem I was looking at the Lodestone notice times instead of the All Worlds notice, which is why I thought it was outside the timeframe of the update.

I see that the patch started at 3 AM my time today, and will continue into tomorrow - thanks for catching that! I thought it might be the case, and checked the notices, but I was clearly checking the wrong one!

Thanks for the info. Guess that means I won't be able to play today.

Kind of sucks that no one in the customer support/community support team thought to update the FF14 steam news feed with this info. I got the error googled it and the response was to try a bunch of stuff and if that doesn't work re install. I uninstalled and now I'm going to have to waste my available play time tomorrow to redownload the game as I can't get on the launcher to redownload tonight :(
