Unable to Update Client

[Grimmel]

Is anyone else unable to update their client and getting the unable to complete version check error?

That's because there is maintenance, and the servers are down, including the patch/lobby server

I'm aware of the maintenance. I'm aware of the servers also being down. But usually you can still log in with your stuff and see if the patch is available to download. Guess it's different now.

They'll post on Lodestone when you'll be able to update your client with the new patch. It usually doesn't happen this soon since it's a long maint. Just keep an eye on the site.

No right off the back. Usually when the Maintenance is around 60-70% down or there's like a good 5 or 6 hours left in it, they bring the Update/Patch servers so everyone can download the Update to help ease Overflow/Congestion come Completion.

If SE follows pattern then the patch should be ready for D/L around 10:00 PM PDT

The best way to tell when the client will be able to be updated after logging in, is to launch the launcher and see if it does the "updating launcher" which is like 3-5MB If it does, then patch server is available. If it doesn't, then no point in trying to login.

Example launcher update:


If you see that, then go ahead and login, more than likely the patch will be available for download.

Surprised there hasn't been a "do we get a refund/credit for the downtime" post here in the General Discussion section.
