Version check error PS4

I am sorry for posting this twice (posted this self same topic in a different part of the forums by mistake and unsure how to delete the original post)

"I'm running this game on a PS4 and for over half an hour i have been trying to download the patch but i keep getting an "Unable to complete version check" [20458][24530] [20457][410] :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

1. Has this been going on for other ppl on the Ps4 that has been having this issue

and 2. What the heck am i supposed to do to fix this.

Thanks a bunch.

It's not just on ps4. I'm getting that same error on PC; can't even log in to download the patch :(

I am ps4 and worked just fine. There is another thread that people said they just closed the application and waited 10 mins and started work. Not sure if that is what you have been doing.

I am having the same problem on ps4 and pc clients.

I've restarted my router, restarted the PS4, Ive closed the application and restarted it nothing worked. :'(. Ill try closing the application and wait 10 mins like people suggested and ill see what happens.

Also i am on exdous and i know we having server issues to point nobody can log on even though it says the server is fine. So that might be something going with launcher as well.

Same here, Version check error, no patch download possible.

Ok found a solution
Close launcher
go to C:\username\Documents\mygames\final fantasy\
There is a folder called "FFXIV_BOOT"
Open it with an editor
change "BootVersionCheckMode" from 0 to 1
save it
Restart launcher

Works for me

That fix was from a few patches ago -- I don't have the 0 to 1 option ... so I'm looking at ...

<FINAL FANTASY XIV Boot Config File>

<Version>
Version 2
Language 1
Region 3
EulaAgreement 1
EulaAgreementExBitArray32 1
DX11Enabled 0
StartupCompleted 1
B4EulaAgreement 0
BrowserType 0
BootVersionCheckMode 1
ConfigReset 0
SkipConfirmExpansionInstallDialogID 0


Is that what everyone else is seeing?

I delete my ffxiv application data and the launcher updated...i just have to wait for the big download now...

Still looking for a Ps4 fix. Apparently the wait period didn't work either. So frustrated and angry. Is there any other possible solutions that weren't mentioned in the previous posts?

I feel you I am having this same thing it is BS when my friend is on playing no problem and they are on ps 4

Tried that. Does not work.

this version check error is bs. tried 2 other backups have one from a year ago and same problem wont let my pc update. keeps giving errors. been trying for 3 hours and nothing is working. changing BootVersionCheckMode 0 to 1 doesn't help makes it worse now getting another really long error code along with them now. using back up and trying to reinstall doesn't work ether.

im on ps4 too. i can put in my login details, then it will say that it was unable to complete the version check. been trying to make my ps4 detect the update available for about 4 hours now. other friends on ps4 can get in and download the patch just fine. im so insanely pissed.

thanks pal, i just dont wanna even bother reinstalling it because that doesnt seem to have worked for others either. its honestly just a damn waiting game now. i was gonna have a fun night with friends but im literally the only one in the group who cant get in..

We are having the exact same issue. 3 of us are on ps4, 1 is on the PC, and 1 is on PS3 :(

im praying that this will be solved by the time i wake up tomorrow bc i cant see this being fixed anytime soon..

I'm on PS4 and was having the sane issue. Someone on reddit suggested that for PC you could log in from a different IP address and that would help the launcher update. I tried it on my PS4, by tethering to my phone as a Hotspot as reddit dude suggests, and it worked.

You know, this was happening back in Febuary too and people still get this during the patches. What annoys me most is that no one answers our questions. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AND WHY WON'T YOU FIX IT SE?

Note: actually there was one guy who answered but just told everyone to delete the game or rebuild the PS4s database or reformat the hard drive. Thank you Elrisivana, but I remember doing those things and nothing happened until some freak luck when I tried another day.

Explain how this is happening please?

oh my god this worked for me on ps4! thankyou so much

Same problem here, PS4. Multiple restarts of application, and console. Nothing. Always the same error message

What really gets me mad is that they haven't even said anything to us about it. It's like to bad for you and the money you speand to play. We will just lock you out for 24hr then not care that you can't even download the patch.

You already payed for the Subscription, they don't care what you do now if you think of it that way, but honestly I'm still trying different things. I do lag on this game but its still playable and even run trials with others, so I'm gonna try using my Lan cable this time, after this I have better things to attend to. F***in' ridiculous SE.

THIS WORKS FOR THE PC VERSION! I can confirm that this option works!

Go to: my documents\my games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn

Edit the file: FFXIV_BOOT.cfg (Open it up with Notepad)

Edit the line: BootVersionCheckMode from 0 to 1

Then relaunch your FFXIV Boot/Launcher and it'll start updating!!! YAY!

Has anyone found a solution for this yet? I'm going on 16 hours of the "Version check error" showing for PS4.

I haven't and I'm about to just give up on this it is BS that they haven't even said anything to us about it. Still waiting as all my friends do all the new stuff as i wait.

I've had this issue 2 times as new patches came out, all i did was wait and reboot the client a few times and everything continued as it should, i just assumed it was server traffic since it was like 1 hour after servers came online.

Other than that, i suggest everyone still having this issue posts their connection/isp details and such, at least then they could rule stuff out.
