Unable to complete version update [30426][19900][740]

Hi, ever since the update today the game has been made completely unplayable for me. I've already reinstalled the game several times, whitelisted it in the firewall and even disabling the firewall, forced open the ports, gone through internet explorer settings, updated gpu drivers, restarted the computer, launched as admin, and nothing is fixing it.

I feel like I'm completely out of options and it's just broken and unfixable at this point, can anyone offer any assistance?

Good afternoon and thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums

When this occurs is the PC connected to WIFI or are you using an ethernet cable? In addition is this the Windows or Steam version of Final Fantasy XIV
