Version check issues post-patch

[Memoe]

I had a similar problem, and after scouting some Reddit, this fixed the issue for me:

Navigate to your game folder 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 bold line from 0 to 1. Save, exit, boot and the launcher should force a check. There might be some different lines too, but just change the bolded one and boot the game. It should force the version check and let you download the patch.
