Unable to complete version check. [30410][30607][20457][409]

[Airget]

I just had this issue and removed the "fileinfo.fiin" from the /boot folder then it booted up just fine for me. Had planned to remove one at a time til it worked but seems I guessed right.

"Unable to complete version check.[30605][20448][10009][10019]"
Reboot, re install, launching from inside the file location didn't work either. any other players figure out how to fix this yet?
SE certainly isn't helping right now. ( been on the phone for over an hour waiting for someone to answer.)

So far, if I click on the launcher right away on start up or click on it right after I logout of the game, to keep the launcher open, then I can sign in and play with no problems. Just wanted to add this in case this helps someone.

My solution to this problem (which occurred to me for the first time after receiving the initial launcher startup error I reported in another thread) is the same as my solution to the other: keep trying. I have been running as administrator for the past couple of days with no issues, but when I was having trouble I would simply keep trying to launch the game as administrator and would eventually get through. After a couple dozen attempts I finally got a completed version check and got into the game with no problems thereafter.

Nice to know there is a fix for PC... I'm playing on PS3 though... anyone one know any fixes for PS3?

I suffered from this issue on ps3 last month. Did all the suggested actions, including reinstall.

The problem magically went away after play station network maintenance.

Now we have a spike in version check errors and look, psn maintenance scheduled this week. Imagine that.

I started having this same problem after the last update. If I keep reopening it enough times I eventually get to the proper launcher page, but it is damned annoying.

im getting ( A system error has occured:-2146697221 http:/frontier.ffxiv.com/arr_win/index.html?rc_lang=en-us )

This error is actually a nightmare. I was getting this error a couple weeks ago and tried a few different things:

1.) Ran everything as admin
2.) Deleted the Boot Folder and dropped in known good files
3.) Dropped UAC as low as it goes
4.) Uninstalled/Reinstalled
5.) Repaired Registry
6.) Set Registry to ignore any kind of admin check
7.) Set the files attributes to read only, Read/Write, back to Read only

None of these changes actually worked. Now, this is where I start going off the map and start doing really STUPID stuff out of frustration:

I thought that it could be a Windows 8.1 bug (which does have MASSIVE permissions bugs) so I attempt to roll back to win 7. Windows 8 doesn't like people doing this and actually tries to make it so convoluted people give up.

After about an hour of messing with getting the boot disc to actually load up, I can't get the image to run as I don't have the CD/DVD drivers (though it's reading the image from the ODD). Tried basically every kind of basic driver chipset to no avail.

It must be my BIOS.

Long story short (about 70 solid man hours ripping the computer apart, trying different fixes, loading different images, and CMOS Resets) I have a motherboard on back order (hello bad flash) and the only way I got FFXIV to work was to buy a new rig.

Hooray Version Check Error!

It's not Square's fault I bricked my machine and I take full responsibility for my own hastiness. Hindsight being 20/20 it's pretty damn funny.

So, if you're messing with the version check error and the thought "It must be my BIOS" comes into your mind in anyway shape or form, Stop. Please for the love of all that's good and holy don't do what I did.

This has been a PSA brought to you by "don't let version check errors lead you down the road to a bad BIOS flash".
