System error "http://frontier.ffxiv.com/arr_win/index.html?rc_lang=en=us"

I ran the ffxiv launcher. The launcher box comes up all black and then an error box appears "http://frontier.ffxiv.com/arr_win/index.html?rc_lang=en=us"

I've tried restarting my PC and resetting my internet connection, but problem still persists.

I have the same issue. The error code is 400. I've had this since Phase 4. Eventually, the launcher will start, if I open it enough times, but this should not be the "fix" for an error.

EDIT: After 50 minutes of constantly relaunching the application, the launcher loaded.

I'm currently reinstalling my launcher and will post here if I get a solution. If anyone else has a solution, please share it here. Thanks!

That doesn't seem to be the same issue.

EDIT: Server went down for maintenance and is back up now. I'm getting error 400 again.

I've been trying for 40 mins now and same error. : /

**EDIT: Got the wrong link to thread...this should be the right link now.

I had same problem and after 4 hours of searching solution. It helped that i put default internet settings from explorer. Go to tools and bottoms is properties and there last tab at right and bottom of that page use default settings etc.Then just reopen explorer to get settings inuse and also same to launcher.

If u get unable to download version when clicking play. You need to clear temp folder,go to users/user/appdata/local/temp.
Also you need to have showing hidden folders on to see appdata folder.

None of these solutions have helped me and I'm receiving the same error. Does anyone have a solution yet?

I'm having this same error as well, sometimes it goes away, but currently I can't play.

I'm having the same issue, I'll see if any of the responses in here help, and if not I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Weks had it about right yup. I went there, then followed another link, to another link, and wound up here: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/ Essentially, if you are in North America like me, uninstall the launcher you got pre-release or the other day then install this new one, reboot, and it should work! Apparently the updater to the pre-release launcher is bad? I don't know, but this worked for me. If you are looking for the European regional download look here: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/eu/

The Only problem is it will re-download the entire game if this isn't the same launcher you used...

I hope they make a new update to fix this, cause re-downloading can be a pain if you have slow internet.

Redownloading the installer still doesn't work for me. The only workaround that I've found is running CCleaner before starting the launcher. Seems to work well enough for now. I hope they fix this problem soon. It's really annoying, but it doesn't seem to be affecting a lot of players.

I had this same problem. Looked at this thread, and downloaded newest version of CCleaner to see if that would do anything, but without actually doing anything different I tried opening the launcher and it worked first time. Weird.

From what I am finding: http://frontier.ffxiv.com/arr_win/in...?rc_lang=en-us is a website that interacts with the launcher. If you go to this website directly, it should be a black screen. On mine PC it was. If it isn't and the site returns the error, then the launcher isn't able to reach the website and hence getting kicked back out.

Remedy: Gotta wait. Refresh the website. When it becomes a normal webpage, launch the launcher.

This worked for me! Thanks!

When you're getting launcher errors, the best way to solve it without costing you a lot of time is downloading CCleaner and having it clean out your cache. Worked for me every time.

Got a similar one. The game just crashed and when I try to relog, the user/pasword box are invisible in the black screen. After a while I got this error (a system error has occurred:408.) followed by a square website. Tried Ccleaner, go directly to the website like Ididrius say, restarted the router, restarted the pc.... Nothing seems to work

Seriously....
After tried for 1h to relog I finally manage to get in, now i got the lovely rutine error and this error appears again.
If there isnt the rutiner error, is the server lag and the bad ping, ppl getting haked, goldsellers spam, servers overpopuled and more ... Theres no way to play properly like this.
I just hope that all this mess will be fixed on next patch......

I had the Error 400 blahblahblah when trying to start the launcher as well. Not sure if its all cases but if you are running a browser addon like Noscript you need to make sure its not blocking ffxiv.com. Once I allowed that site the error went away.

NoScript is a Firefox plugin, the Launcher uses an embedded copy of Internet Explorer, NoScript isn't involved, it was coincidence that caused the effect you see.

Bump, cause this error still happens
