I'm getting these errors every time I start the launcher. I saw some people suggest changing a file in the document/my game/ ffxiv folder from 0 to 1 and that didn't help at all. I'm now at a lost.
I'm having the same issue as well. I had it last week too, but it magically started working again. Hopefully it will do the same again.
So far the best solution anyones come up with for this one is to system restore to a time that it was working.
It looks like the "fix" people are having the most luck with is a system restore. I've looked through probably 10 of these same posts and have found no official support, and have been having the same error on and off my self.
Something else that was worked for me once, is running CC Cleaner.
But yeah, this situation is pretty depressing and discouraging.
agh I did end up system restoring and that did work. This sucks
That's an old bug that has been around since the Beta - the cause is actually your version of Internet Explorer not being up to date (the launcher uses IE as a shell to function - it's essentially a webpage). There were several work arounds to fixing the issue, but the main fix was to simply update your version of Internet Explorer to at least version 9. Updating Windows was also a recommendation from SE themselves during the beta too to fix this issue.
I have everything up to date and even tried resetting IE to its defaults, just in case. But no luck. Maybe I'm too far ahead!
Honestly I don't see a likeable fix to this any time soon. The thing that worked for me was system restore.
I have had the EXACT same problem with the launcher. I have been looking around and tried all of the methods such as System Restore, changing the values of EULA agreement to 1 and other stuff. The only solution for me was going to: Control Panel>Programs and Features>View installed Updates>Uninstall your latest Internet Explorer update. Restart the computer and it should work, apparently Explorer 10 and 11 has some bugs with the launcher so if you uninstall the update it should downgrade/rollback your explorer browser to 9 (which it did for me).
None of my recent updates are labeled well. They all just call them selves "Update for Microsoft Windows" blabla. And are from the 17th, and the issue started the 23rd. What a headache.
Has any new fixes for this been found? System restore didn't work for me.
Holy Crap Batman! So it appears they are using the IE shell extensions to load a webpage from the launcher.
If you have an older version of IE that has notoriously bad ECMAScript (JS) support which loads a page requiring a file hosted by a third party which can update / change the version outside of the control of Squenix (Google CDN Hosted) you are going to have a bad time. This is just bad design on their part by using the assumption because it is windows that all windows users have IE installed and all windows users keep their PC updated.
IE File version 11.0.9600.16384
Windows 8.1
Getting the script error. Had it Monday Nov. 25, ran CCleaner and that fixed it. Game loaded up fine last night. Now all of a sudden this morning, getting the script error again. I assure you my PC didn't update while it was shut down overnight. So frustrating!
Sadly I haven't been able to play in about 2 weeks now. That's half a month's subscription gone... I really wish there would be some official acknowledgement of this error.
Guess it's time to unsubscribe...this is unacceptable.
I've uninstalled IE11/10 and have just IE9 installed...still script errors. I had no issues yesterday...
I started getting this error last night. Sent off for support which I know won't get back with me until after the Thanksgiving Holiday.
It was a "Script Error 454" but now it is a showing this number:

I've tried everything i've ran across and updated from Windows 8 on this new PC to Windows 8.1.
I'm kinda glad to see others are having this issue but also pretty angry that apparently it seems a little more rampant and isn't getting resolved very well. Or, just doesn't have a conclusive resolution I suppose I can say.
I've already paid for a three month subscription and the fact now i'm going to have about 2 months of it cut out if they don't get this fixed is going to make me more irritated.
Same issue, script errors regardless of whats attempted. I renamed the folder in %homepath%\Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy A Realm Reborn, and it recreated... Appeared to load once allowed me to accept the terms then repeated the script errors above. Also rolled back IE to 9, and reset it to default settings. Also cleared all browsing history both from Chrome, and IE. Really aggrovating at this point, and have only seen moderators bounce new posts to the "RESOLVED" forum which says to do what I've done... I hope this is being worked on!!
Edit:
Found some malware on my machine that appears to have installed a proxy, and was serving adds on webpages. Not sure if its a true resolution obviously, but after removing it the launcher is now running, and updating as it should. Mine was called Scorpion Ad something... Double check Programs and Features for anything installed recently. Should be able to sort it by install date, and once you've done so be sure you haven't been hit by any drive by downloads. Sorry if your issue persists but one or all of the above worked for me.
If you're getting a 454 script error you may have malware, malwarebytes solved my issue. -Q.
as said in the two posts above malware was blocking me to it seems
What Poosammich said worked for me
This fixed my error as well. but when I deleted the program and restarted it gave me an unable to check versions error. So I then proceeded to run malware bytes and it works fine now. I wonder if those two errors coincide with each other? Maybe the malware program put some malicious content into the launcher?
Same issue, no resolve.
System restored the first time I got this error and it came back the very same day.
time: 15:15 EST 11/29/13.
frequency: Every time.
platform: PC only.
issue: A script error on login screen is causing unplayability.
world name: Hyperion
character name: Adala Archer
class/lvl: CUL 30
additional: A mysterious program in the PC tray called "scorpion saver"
issue resolved: add or remove programs, 2 scorpion listings.
I'm curious what keeps installing that scorpionsaver crap? I've deleted it several times already and my research has found no conclusive source.
