Unable to perform version check: [30410] [30607] [20457] [410]

I've been trying to download the 3.5 patch for the last 40 minutes or so, using various fixes for other similar error codes to no avail. I haven't seen this particular code before and apparently no one else has, as the [410] part never comes up in my search for fixes.

I've tried pretty much everything aside from reinstalling the game [and let's be honest, who wants to do that and have it not change anything?], so if I can get a second opinion, that would be fantastic. Let me know if you need any other info from me. Dun Scaith is calling me, and I want to be part of the initial release wipe-fest. XD

I am having the same exact issue. I rebooted my ISP, I turned off my firewall getting the same errors. I dont know what to do. I cant even find out where to reinstall the game of MOGSTATION or LODESTONE. Any help appreciated.

Go to Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\ open up FFXIV_BOOT.cfg in word pad or notepad.

you should see this

<FINAL FANTASY XIV Boot Config File>

<Version>
Version 2
Language 1
Region 2
EulaAgreement 1
StartupCompleted 1
B4EulaAgreement 1
BootVersionCheckMode 0
ConfigReset 0

the line in bold is the key change the 0 to a 1 and it forces it to check version upon opening the launcher.

Same issue here. Been trying everything I can think of and i really don't want to waste my time ( and data limit ) on a whole reinstall.

That did the job, thank you very much. ^^ I should note that the line you wanted in bold didn't format, so I'll make a note of it seperately in case anyone else gets confused.

The "BootVersionCheckMode" value should be set to 1, not 0, and that should do the trick.

I should probably have looked there in hindsight, but you know what frustration towards an issue can do to you. XD

How did this happen to many players? Something is messed up with their update system -_-

Fixed it. Was pvp'ing at the same time when i posted this :P

Thank you so much Vurtney

Hello. Please clean your internet datas with ccleaner etc. As advised by The Launcher. Then it is updating.

It's not working for me...
Is there other solution? (instead of reinstalling x.x)

MAKE SURE THE LAUNCHER IS CLOSED WHEN YOU DO THIS:

Go to Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\ open up FFXIV_BOOT.cfg in word pad or notepad.

you should see this

<FINAL FANTASY XIV Boot Config File>

<Version>
Version 2
Language 1
Region 2
EulaAgreement 1
StartupCompleted 1
B4EulaAgreement 1
BootVersionCheckMode 0
ConfigReset 0

the line in bold is the key change the 0 to a 1 and it forces it to check version upon opening the launcher.

Save the file.

Restart the launcher.

WORKS! Thank you so much!

Now, my problem is that the download speed is WAY below 100KB/s (between 40 and 20). Oddly enough this is only happening with the FFXIV launcher. Everything else has my speed capping. And no, I'm not downloading anything else whilst I try to update FFXIV. I had to check, though. Already tried this trick above (which is also mentioned on the first page, champs) and still nothing. Was also getting an error, btw, but seemed to have been solved by itself after rebooting the launcher a few times.

haven't been playing for like two days, waiting for the patch. Now I have this issue too.
I had it before and the FFXIV_BOOT line editting worked back then, it's not working anymore.

I got the error aswell and tried to change the "BootVersionCheckMode" value to no avail. Then I noticed while opening the launcher it would skip the version check and update the boot.cfg with "BootVersionCheckMode" back to 0. I closed the launcher, changed it back to "BootVersionCheckMode 1", saved the file and put it as "read-only". Next time I opened the launcher it would perform the version check and I could download the patch.

Does your ISP throttle p2p connections? It may be flagging the client as a torrent so this happens. Using a VPN usually bypasses this.

I have no idea, but this isn't the first time I download a patch for FFXIV. The other times it all worked out alright. The speed was as it's supposed to be. Right now I got the error again, though. Something about the launcher not being able to download patch files? I rarely have problems downloading torrents, btw. If a certain torrent is with a very low download speed, I know I can blame it on the seeds. Usually, healthy torrents download just fine for me.

Sure! It seems quite random, though, so I'll make another comment with the SS should it happen again. Just started to update again, so it could either take a while or happen right after I post this reply.

Their patch server is being hammered by thousands of downloads today and i bet there's many returning players among them. Busy day. Anyway, post a screenshot if anything happens again.

I used CCLeaner to perform a full clean up in my internet files and it seems to have worked. It's downloading the patch right now, at least.

Still not working for me, I've tried everything.. I've tried nearly every combination under the sun with that Boot.cfg file. I've tried read only as well. Still same error nothing changes PLEASE HELP

I'm at work so i can't check the current client version. While you fiddled with the config file did the launcher update at any point because that's the first thing that should happen.

I believe at no point did the launcher update while messing with the boot.cfg. I even went as far as to modify the main boot folder along with the boot.cfg and it updated the client before the login prompt but not even that worked, same damn error. I tried everything besides reinstalling the game and Windows. Apparently this problem has been happening for several years now.

I'm now reinstalling the game and it's downloading the game right now... crossing my fingers it works. Not a single soul on the internet said that worked for them. I hope it's as simple as that though..

I had the same issue and the above suggested solutions did not work for me. I found a post from an old patch where people experienced same issues, and there it was suggested to use a vpn (change your ip adress). Although it seemed a weird enough approach, i can confirm using a vpn solved the issue for me.

Can confirm that. tyvm for the suggestion.

So far working solutions has been:

-Forcing the launcher to update through Boot.cfg file
-A winter cleaning of browser/register junk with CCleaner
-Using VPN to bypass ISP restrictions
-As a last-ditch effort, reinstalling the game

You can add reinstalling the game to that list, I don't like it but it worked... :(
