Unable to complete version check

[Eyvind]

First I wish they would let us know that they're at least aware of the issue..

I actually wonder if anyone's still in the office there. It's just passed midnight in Japan :/

Found a way to force the patch !

go to : ..\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot and open ffxivboot.ver in notepad or a text editor and change the last number to 0

What it should look like : 201x.xx.xx.0000.0001 - > 201x.xx.xx.0000.0000

Save & boot your game again its should patch your patcher back & force the patch too !

Looking enviously at all you people with your homebrewed solutions, none of which are possible on PS4

I'm really not impressed with this. I'm still too new a player for the affected content to be relevant to me, I think. I just wanted to run around Gridania since I finally got there last night

Sadly for you, the new content is very relevant to you. Everyone starts at level 1 in the palace of the dead and with the same items. Having started only last month, I was really looking forward to enjoying new content first together with everyone who's been playing for a long time. Unfortunately I've been stuck for 6 and a half hours trying to get the game to patch.

If you scroll up, some folks found some homebrew fixes that work for PC. Us PS4 players aren't so lucky, more than 8 hours after the update

Has this been addressed yet by SE yet or are we still just hoping the problem goes away soon?

I looked and looked, but it does not look like anyone on their end has noticed. There are tech support folks who were updating as recently as 11am EDT/midnight Japanese time, so someone's in the office. I'm wondering if all the people who could fix the error and set up a download patch are at home sleeping (it is currently about 4am in Japan).

...soo since we're here, anyone play elder scrolls online?
