"Unable to perform version check."

This happens when I type in my log-in info to try and download the new patch. Anyone else getting this garbage?

The housing in this game already has me in a foul mood with how hellish it is please at least give me an equal chance at the lottery sqenix... :(

Getting this error as well while my friends are downloading it...

Same ): on PS4 though

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...eck_error_fix/

This thread has some things to try (check comments too, not just the main image)

Yeah, getting the following on PS4

Unable to complete version check.
[20458][24530][20457][410]

The Update/Launcher version is currently 2017.08.23.0000.0000

But this thing is for PC, right?

Any possible solutions for ppl playing on PS4?

Check how much space you have on your harddrive. Make sure there's over 2 GIGS of space available.

Okay, that didn't work for me.
The reddit post that was posted here has a fix.
Some guy posted an older launcher boot info to a dropbox. Find that, DL it.
BACK UP your files in a different folder, JUST IN CASE.
You'll notice the older files are WAY old. 2013.
This forces the client to upgrade itself fully.

WORKED.

About 300Gb free on PS4 hard disk. :(

Since it's worked for some PC users.... maybe try fully restarting the system.

If that doesn't work... I'm sorry to say I don't know enough about the PS4 to offer further advice. Best of luck...

I had the same Issue on PS4 and PC. I had to change my DNS Server (In the internet options) and it works.
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

I hope it can help you.

I tried too, but didn't work :(

I hope you don't need to resort to this but... if you have a very fast internet connection, you could try reinstalling...

Ris, the reddit page has a fix from a dropbox file. That's all you need, besides the HD space.

Therion is a PS4 player.

Yes, and i can't find any solution or explanation. First time having this kind of problems (and i'm +3 years old player) and i feel really disappointed with SE for their lack of information...

uggg... crud. not sure how one can force the ps4 to fully reload the client. That seems to be entirely the problem here.

This worked for me on PS4
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...version_check/

Reddit can be helpful.
I try going to 4chan for things like this
I get told delete system 32.

Thanks! I tried all possible DNS til one worked for me.

Thank you all for your help and patience. See you in Eorzea!

Downloading that replacement boot file worked for me, downloading as we speak. Cutting it down to the wire and that was like a gift from the gods. @.@

That fix didn't work for PC, Square why you do this. I shouldn't have to reinstall the entire game just to update.

None of the fixes worked for me. Tired of trying repeatedly with no communication from SE saying they are working on this.

this solved the issue for me, thank you.

thanks for trying. I tried that. I'm on the PS4. I didn't work.

This is so freaking annoying. I just wanna play. I've already missed out on the houses in Shirogane because someone else didn't do their job right. :-/

On PC, none of the recommendations works.

We're probably waiting on a Version update.

This maintenance should have been postponed.

Agreed. I'd been trying to get the PS4 to update since the internet exploded with the Patch was live. So, about 3am CST. It's now 5:46...and the PS4 is still like "Hurr durr...patch? What patch?"

Still is a problem for me. Would like to know when this is going to be fixed so I can tell my static if I can or cannot make it today.

on ps4 as well and nothing worked, now i have to wait for 12 hours for my reinstall to finish :/

On the PC I had this error and waited for an hour after patch and all the houses were sold after i did this...

I went to the folder C:\Games\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot\
There is a file ending in .ver
I changed the permissions so that I could edit it.
in the file it contains a version number.
it ended ########.######.###.0001
I changed that last 1 to a 0.

Then i started the launcher this forced an update and it worked.

The Problem was that the internet I am using was cashing the file that the Launcher was checking against so it thought they were the same still. This fixed it.

I found that some people used a phone as a hotspot and configured there PS4's to use it for the update and that also worked.

P.S Reinstall will not fix a web cashing issue with your internet.
