Unable to download patch files

edit: just saw the typo in my pretty meme

I will laugh if we ps4 users are going to be able to skate through and nab all of the land before the PC users can get on. Then I'll cry for my boyfriend, who's on PC, because he was so looking forward to getting a medium this patch.

Had this. Fixed it to edit FFXIV_BOOT.cfg parameter "BootVersionCheckMode" from 0 to 1. This config is found under c:\user\Documents\My Games\FF ARR. Edited with Notepad.

Gogo the race for housing already started! Step 1: have a patched client!

I had been getting this error for almost 1 year. From 2015-16 I couldn't play this game because of this error. And now its back again. It seems SE is incapable of solving this after more than 4 years. I hate to say this but a 13 year old game called WoW runs flawlessly without any errors and its running on decade old tech. So why FFXIV thats running with new generation tech contains so many errors??

and here people thought I was losing my mind when I said SE needs to update servers, it really does feel like 1990's tech. I mean why else would things go so slowly when you try to lusterate or the input delays? I understand my net is part to blame, but it is mind boggling how people are ok with a game with drastic differences of 120-150 ms vs 75-90 ms, and the impacts of a single packet loss. Also I feel the outdated servers is the reason for the shortage in housing, they could at least make them cost more.

Good news everyone! Once you get past the first half and it installs, it speeds up dramatically. Have two instances for anecdotal PROOF!

I’m on my 11th relaunch attempt now, so I really hope it finishes this time! Shaving years off my life and giving me grey hairs at far too young an age. ;_;

My download is done too now after having to restart a few times as well. This release is so stressful.

Stick with it! It took me an hour, but the download went from 800 megs and 3 hours remaining to over and done inside of four minutes after I rebooted the launcher again after a fail.
