Unable to complete version check

[Lexia]

Is this issue still ongoing? My PS3 version worked yesterday but I cannot log in today - "Unable to complete version check [24530][503]"

If this is an update issue, and I pay monthly for daily access, do we get a refund or an extended period for unacceptably long down time?

The answer is no and will always be no, and they gave notice about this extended maintenance 2 weeks in advance, not to mention they shoved it in your face every time you logged in starting friday.

I don't log in that often.

This happened for both my desktop and my wife's desktop.

In my case, simply running the launcher as administrator caused the launcher itself to update properly so that I could get past logging in and downloading the patch. This approach did not work for my wife's computer.

The main difference between the two systems is that I'm running Win 7 while she's on Win 10.

I tried a few different things on her desktop from modifying that one config file, to rebooting, resetting internet files, and even changing the UAC settings. None of that worked.

What did work is copying everything under "C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot" from my desktop to hers. This skipped having to update the launcher the normal way which let me log in and begin downloading the patch on her desktop. Granted, that's not much help to anyone who doesn't have a working copy on a different desktop like I did.

Edit: Figures that just after I posted this that someone on a PS4 version is also hitting this.

I'm having the same issues with my version checker , although everyone says its due to the maintenance. But considering its taken 28 hours now i got to say this is highly inconveniencing, I only got to play 30 minutes after finishing the download and then updates before all this happened. Truly annoying.

It maybe due to a launcher version mismatch. My version of the launcher seems like it is old for a patch that was just released. 2016.02.08.0000.0001(1838941) is the value I got. Check the lower right hand corner of your launcher to verify your version. If this is really a new launcher the date code at the beginning should read something sooner than February 08.

My version as well as the error code is the same as Raynar. I'll admit my internnet isn't the best because i am using wi-fi on my ps4. It took me an entire day to load the games and a second for the updates, combine that with the cost for both the games and the subscription its kinda a gutpunch to only have been able to play for 30 min. now not at all.
