Problems with Launcher

I couldn't start the game (Kept getting error code 11035) so I could update for the expansion, so I uninstalled the whole thing and decided to just re-download the launcher, but now when I start the launcher, it gets the screen with Region and language select and when I press ok, the screen blinks and just goes back to region and language select. Help?

Any help would be nice, Iv tried pretty much everything I could think of.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Both of those errors stem from connection problems with the server. The game was hit with a DDOS attack a little bit ago and we've been experiencing some congestion due to the high player count. These can contribute to the errors you have experienced. Have you been able to make any progress since you posted this?

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

No. After uninstalling the game, making sure the folders was completely uninstalled as well as the folder in my games, I downloaded this : gdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/inst/ffxivsetup.exe

From there, I get to the screen that says: Final Fantasy XIV Select a region and language. When I click accept, the little box flashes, then goes right back to Select a region and language. Nothing has changed.

Iv tried running it in admin, I even tried windows 7 compatibility, unsure what else I can do.

Still haveing the same issues.....

Any help would be welcomed, been dealing with this all day...

Still no help.

Thank you for the reply.

Please try making sure the game is allowed through the fire wall. If you are attempting to connect to the game through wifi, please connect directly to the router. We are still experiencing a DDOS Attack which may be the cause of why you are experiencing connection issues. Please use the following link to stay updated.

Hope to see you online!!

Iv disabled my firewall, and I am connected through router. I ended up downloading the launcher on a different computer and had no issues at all. So I copied the square enix folder in x86 and put it into my x86 on my cpu, and tried to launch game again and ended up with error 11035 again. Still ruining into the same issues and I feel like I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Game was running fine before the update.

Please don't close my post, as this issue is still not fixed. I will respond when the issue is fixed, but until then, if anyone has any sort of suggestions, please help. Thanks

A bit frustrated that i spent most of the day just trying to download the update for the launcher, then the client ( couldnt even get the client download to get past Region and languages select screen), then the launcher again while not really makeing any breakthrough, while at least being able to download the client on my sisters computer (she was far behind in updates) no issue and still cannot for the death of me figure out why. Hopeing when i get off work that things work.

Again, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.

Still haveing the same issue with the client download just not going past select region/language.

Starting to get pretty frustrated, I bought the preorder so I could at least log on during early access so I could try out some of the content on my off day, but I can't even download the client. Is there any way i can get help directly? Because it feels like mods have hardcore abandon my thread.

Not sure if this will help but anyway:
Open
\Documents\my games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV_BOOT.cfg
with a notepad and find this string there:
"BootVersionCheckMode"
Then try changing it's value (If it's 1 - change it to 0 and vise versa)
If this won't help - I suggest returning the default value.

If the issue persists:

Turn off ALL firewalls, turn off ALL virus protection (Windows Defender).

Quick edit: When you go in FFXIV_BOOT.CFG

Make sure it's like this


<FINAL FANTASY XIV Boot Config File>

<Version>
Version 2
Language 1




As far as I'm aware Language 1 is english, as for region, i think region 1 is JP, region 2 is NA, and region 3 is europe....could be wrong there though

Ive tried that, even went as far as completely uninstalling Avast. The problem I am having now is the client itself. I went to the website and got the client download and started it up. It loads and the first thing it asks "Region/language select" I click accept, a blue bar goes by for a sec, then its back on the "region/language select" screen. It repeats that if you click accept, and its driving me up a wall trying to figure out why suddenly this happened. I was literally on the game the day the servers went down for maintenance.

So, I at least got the game installing now.

Ended up going into safe mode and was able to get the client to download. From there, got out of safe mode and removed some things (Iobit related software) and it seems like everything is working now. Unsure what suddenly cause the issue, my guess is something with iobit.
