PC Unable to complete version check

[Mysty]

I'd copy paste the error message, but... you can't copy paste from the error screen!

Unable to perform version check. Version information is not consistent between FFXIV Boot, FFXIV Updater, and FFXIV Launcher. Please restart the game. If restarting the game does not solve the problem, attempt the following procedures:
1. Delete temporary internet files.
2. Disable or change your proxy server.
3. Reinstall FINAL FANTASY XIV.
For further assistance, please visit the SQUARE ENIX Support Center.

1) HOW THE *#)# does my temporary internet files affect a game in completely different directory?
2) No proxy server ever set up or ran.
3) Reinstall for a minor patch? That's poor design on YOUR end.
4) Attempting to search those error numbers on your support site gives nothing.
Running this on Windows 10, nothing oddball installed. I've got a lot of free space on the drive.

I've seen one thread from 2013 saying download a new boot folder off a dropbox... seems shady.
Another one said edit the FFXIV_Boot.cfg file. There's no .cfg file in the boot or game directory, that's with hidden files on.

My launcher says 2016.05.20.0000.0001(1958487) if that helps

Having the same issue, same error message. Tried everything I can think of of outside of reinstalling. Launcher says: 2016.05.20.0000.0001(1958487). My connection is only 6mBps, so don't want to reinstall... What's the deal, SE?

Hey all! I just got some help through the Faerie FB page and it worked like a charm.

1.) Go to My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
2.) Open up FFXIV_BOOT.cfg in Notepad
3.) Change the line "BootVersionCheckMode" number from 0 to 1.
4.) Launch and you should be good to go!

Spread the love!

Unfortunately, did not fix the problem for me.

[Mysty]

yeah... just found out the game lives in program files AND My documents.
I went to the program files, not My documents.

The BootVersionCheckMode fix worked for me.

That fixed mine too. Thanks so much
