yet another "unable to complete version update" error

[Talassa]

That didn't work either. As well as reinstalling the game.

Tried analyzing the login process with Fiddler (a debugging proxy).
After I sign the license agreement client tries to access frontier.ffxiv.com/version_4_0_win/index.html and I get this error:

I'm not sure what to make of this.
The client successfully reaches the server, the server responds, but then launcher/IE gets response and aborts operation? Seriously?

I guess it didn't like the response or some script was blocked?


Just in case: the box "Allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid" is checked (and I restarted PC after that )


I'll try port forwarding tomorrow.
