Unable to check version update FIX (Come and get it here !)

Hey guys, So i had the same issue and I called a friend who patched it successfully and i asked him to forward me his boot file and that fixed my issue. So for those who are facing it, here you go !

Just replace your boot file with this (Create a back up for your current one just in case) and enjoy FFXIV. =D

Awesome thanks. I got this same error yet again on these maintenance fixes.

There any way to prevent this from happening constantly?

I really have no idea, I think its an error happening when patching the launcher. Hopefully it doesnt keep on happening after each update :/
