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

If your launcher is loading, but when you attempt to login you get the version check error, look at the launch version at the top. If it is not the current launcher version or it is blank, that could be the problem. My computer that I played beta on was stuck on an old January 2014 version. My other PC updated the launcher to February 2014 version right away. The current launcher should be 2014.02.26.0000.0001. 2 methods to solve it. Number 2 is likely easier.

METHOD 1)

I simply took all the files out of the boot folder from my good PC and moved them with a USB drive over to my other PC. There were 8 files and this was the folder :

C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot

Start the launcher and login and it started downloading patch 2.2.

METHOD 2)

Another way to do this is to force Launcher to update itself. Credit to Keku :

Go to Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\ open up FFXIV_BOOT.cfg in word pad or notepad.

You should see this

<FINAL FANTASY XIV Boot Config File>

<Version>
Version 2
Language 1
Region 2
EulaAgreement 1
StartupCompleted 1
B4EulaAgreement 1
BootVersionCheckMode 0
ConfigReset 0

Change the number in the bolded line from 0 to 1. This will force the launcher to update itself. Run the launcher and it should update to the newest version. Once updated, you should be good to go to login and download the new patch.
