That's nice, I'm stuck with unable to complete version check errors

yeah im stuck with same message aswell you on ps4 by any chance?

Stuck also. PC.

Thanks for this. Finished it on my ps4. Back to smashing with Cloud. xD

I think it has something to do with the launcher. friend is having the same problem, but another is fine. The one having the problem's launcher didn't update. the friend just backed up and tried multiple times and it worked so good luck.

what you mean by "backed up" tried restarting the game multiple times and didnt work and i dont want to have to re-install with an 800kbs download speed ; ;
EDIT: might be worth mentioning im on the steam version

Reset your launcher; you're trying to download the patch with the current launcher you had before patch hit. Turn patcher off, then restart FFXIV and it'll upload the launcher, allowing you to then upload the patch. Had the same problem myself.

Wasn't maintenance slated 4 hours as usual?

sorry i was a bit confusing. what my friend did was enabled automatic downloads of updates(requires psplus) while the system is in rest mode. she didn't turn the system off or anything, so i'm not sure that's what helped. she just went into the browser again and it worked. again I'm not sure that is what helped her get the browser to update. maybe it was just luck.

Ah I see tried restarting the launcher again and steam just started redownloading the game again ; ; looks like i wont be able to get started till next tuesday ; ;

i'd definetly post in the bug formus or something to see if maybe they can help you out. I hope it gets fixed for you real quick so you can play.

Is it redownloading the launcher? Because that's required, they updated the launcher. After that redownloads, then you can sign in and download the patch.

Well, I would love to download the patch but, once again, the launcher refuses to update, giving me that the unable to do version check error nonsense. On PS4, by the way.

Seriously, why does this even happen? And the nail on the head is that when I tell my PS4 to check for updates, it has the audacity to tell me its up to date.

Dear FFXIV team, can you look into this? I have gotten this error since the last patch-up and is incredibly annoying. Its good that the problem seems to resolve itself after some time, but I do not have the time to just wait around 1-6 hours for the launcher to get over itself and get the update. Thank you.

The maintenance was extended to 6:30am EST. So that's probably what caused those errors.

Steam is redownloading everything >< its gonna redownload and install ARR then ask me to instal HW then the update >< had this happen back when HW came out aswell but didnt have this issue for 3.1 ; ;

Quick update on my end about the non-responsive launcher. During my many, many restarts of the app on my PS4, one time, just once, it told me there was a network error. However, I accidentally pressed a button on my remote and it went away before I could write the error code and the link it gave me :(

Any ideas? I have been trying to download the update and patch for over an hour now. This never happened before, it started to happen right around the last hotfix for the game and now I worry that this will become a problem every time an update or hotfix comes around. Well, I can forget any and all notions of getting into the game early after patches from here on out.

Still unable to update. Giving up for now.

Things I tried were closing the launcher and opening it back up, running as administrator, clearing internet files, clicking on ffxivupdater in the folder (dunno if that would help in the first place, but it did not), updating to latest driver, and resetting the settings in the launcher.

I had the exact problem, i did what this post said and it worked for me. Good luck!

Turned computer off while I slept, and when I started it up and clicked on the launcher, it finally started updating.

Thank you for all of the suggestions though!
