Launcher error, cant start

[techotactickz]

Hello,

I have recently tried to log into ffXIV having been able to play fine previously to be greeted with this error reading "A system error has occurred: -2146697208". My launcher will just go black upon me opening it and after a few seconds this will appear.

Any ideas anyone?

guessing this is from the whole frickin day dec 16-17 update. as i recall i paid to play for 30 days..not 29.

Same here, maintenance maybe? It doesn't say nothing about maintenance today, in the forum section.

And when you started playing the game, you agreed to a EULA which says they can take the game down as often as they want, for as long as they want.

The maintenance was scheduled to start at midnight pst Dec 16, from the time of this post it was 6 and a half hours ago. The maintenance will end on Dec 17 at midnight pst. You know when you opened the game and got that screen with all the wording after signing in for the last 3 days? That was regarding the maintenance so quit complaining. If you don't understand the timezone google it. There is no reason to not know that today is in fact the 16.

Yeah, but what they have displaying when you open the game was/is Dec 17th. Forgive some of us for assuming a patch (be it a large one) would take 24 hours. I personally have not experienced or know of any patch or even whole expansion that took so much downtime. Expansions these days are almost seamless or take 30mins for a server restart. Even free to play games don't even need 24 hours to push out a major patch or expansion.

With so much time I hope there won't have to be many, if any, emergency down times following the release of this patch.

Oh, the maintenance started already? Well damnit.

They did say the maintenance time on the log in screen and how long it would take and the reason it needs so long is not because of the content in the patch it is because of the data center updates, wich they also said.

You are all just regretful bastards....

24hrs downtimes is nothing you get a whole EXPANSION for free..... Dont bitch here about being able just to play 29 days this month

Would like like to pay Patch 2.1 30 dollars ? maybe then you could play 30 days instead of 29

So just close your mouth.

1 freaking day, don't be so dramatic over it lol... Go do something worthwhile in life, like cleaning up your house for example, or go read a book, everyone needs a book or two in life, right?
