"Unable to perform version check."

That fix didn't work for PC, Square why you do this. I shouldn't have to reinstall the entire game just to update.

None of the fixes worked for me. Tired of trying repeatedly with no communication from SE saying they are working on this.

I had the same Issue on PS4 and PC. I had to change my DNS Server (In the internet options) and it works.
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

I hope it can help you.

this solved the issue for me, thank you.

thanks for trying. I tried that. I'm on the PS4. I didn't work.

This is so freaking annoying. I just wanna play. I've already missed out on the houses in Shirogane because someone else didn't do their job right. :-/

On PC, none of the recommendations works.

We're probably waiting on a Version update.

This maintenance should have been postponed.

Agreed. I'd been trying to get the PS4 to update since the internet exploded with the Patch was live. So, about 3am CST. It's now 5:46...and the PS4 is still like "Hurr durr...patch? What patch?"

[ImagiNation]

Still is a problem for me. Would like to know when this is going to be fixed so I can tell my static if I can or cannot make it today.

on ps4 as well and nothing worked, now i have to wait for 12 hours for my reinstall to finish :/

On the PC I had this error and waited for an hour after patch and all the houses were sold after i did this...

I went to the folder C:\Games\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot\
There is a file ending in .ver
I changed the permissions so that I could edit it.
in the file it contains a version number.
it ended ########.######.###.0001
I changed that last 1 to a 0.

Then i started the launcher this forced an update and it worked.

The Problem was that the internet I am using was cashing the file that the Launcher was checking against so it thought they were the same still. This fixed it.

I found that some people used a phone as a hotspot and configured there PS4's to use it for the update and that also worked.
