version check error ps4 post HW pre-order code

Problem is, IMO, with update checking, not with real update. In yours case, you have latest version, but launcher still will does checking (launcher check for update after every login, before game will launch).

So If I wipe and reinstall the whole thing, it might fix this? I don't really want to have to go through hours of reinstallation if it won't help

In my case (and few people also) full reinstall resolved problem. But there is no guarantee, that next update/hotfix in future will be free of that problem (messing files with version numbers).

I think the PSN versions aren't redeemable yet the lodestone says the windows version is could that be the problem?

If it wasn't redeemable, it'd not have downloaded? And I got the email saying that the code needed to be input via the PSN store :S

No. Problem is with application bug (launcher?) that messing local files (on PS4 and PC). On PC you can edit these files (solution in other thread), on PS4 - you cant editing local files. Source of game is non important. Problem is with and without HS addon.

So I deleted everything and re-ran the updates. Finished installing and it has now let me log in.

I've re-downloaded the HW update and it says it's going to take about an hour to download. Earlier it only took a few minutes.

I think perhaps the problem was with the original download not completing correctly. I'm able to log in and play at least, I'll update again once the HW download has downloaded and installed

uhhh a p.i.t.a then... I'll attempt a full reinstall and pray it works! Will be gutted if I can't get on tonight!

Doesn't mean it's up yet didnt some one say it's not registering because something's incomplete. The post on the loadstone said they would send an email once psn version is redeemable.

Its pretty stupid that it isn't yet I mean the preorders wer way over a month ago why haven't they finalized them with psn yet.

[lacrimosaangel]

Well that's why I assumed it was done, because I saw the FB post yesterday about the windows one being up but when I checked emails and my SE account ths morning it told me to register the code on psn... When I did it downloaded and installed perfectly fine - which I assumed wouldn't have happened until the service was active (I tried when the codes were originally emailed and it said it didn't exist..

It's currently running first time set up again. If not I'll have to go into my system settings and wipe absolutely everything, then do 7 months of updates

Dont remove both settings files (system and character name) from system settings. There are important things - gear sets, macros, GUI settings, crosshotbar settings and so on. Remove game only from PS4 desktop options.
