Unable to complete version check

[-BlueGreen-]

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.
