Dear FFXIV team, error unable to complete version check getting out of hand.

[Erudito]

I am going to level with everyone here, this is error has been the bane of my FFXIV experience since 3.1 and I have been playing continuously for about 2 years.

I would like a direct response on how to handle it and what is causing it. Every single patch/hotfix since 3.1 has given me this error without exception. If there is something I can do to prevent this 100% of the time, please tell me.

I have tried everything: Restarting, shutting down and restarting, changing DNS, opening ports, resetting router, contacting my provider. No change whatsoever.

I will ask it plain to the team that handles the patcher and server connections: Why is this happening? I am on a PlayStation 4, I can't just delete and reinstall the thing since it would take over a day of continuous download due to my less than stellar internet speed.

It would be fine if it were once or twice, but every single patch/hotfix since 3.1 has given me this issue and I think its time I got some direct answers.

Thank you.
