FFXIV Boot Error - Unable to Complete Version Check [30605][504]

[KeyboardFacerollname]

Receiving this error when I try and run the launcher. Not sure if it's just due to the maintenance or not.

If this just started happening this morning, then it is because the game is down for maintenance. If it has been occurring before now, could be that you are missing important files in your game folder. But, more than likely, it’s because the game is down for maintenance for the next 24 hours.

I believe it is.



Maintanence this time around is 24 hours. So you probably won't be able to download the patch early quite yet.

Damn it...

I uninstalled the whole thing in an attempt to fix it. I knew the patch was coming in today so I thought that might be the reason why it stopped working.

So do the subscription days get refunded during such times or does it keep counting down?

I believe it keeps on counting down. Remember they are adding content, and as such, maintenence like this is a necessary evil. xD

Naw, it's not that I mind if it keeps counting down, I just have a few days left and I wanted to level up my DRK to 70 then take a break and wait for the next expansion.

If it makes you feel any better, I did the same (and now I'm laughing). Tomorrow we'll have a hell of a lot of patching to do...

The Lodestone post link you shared comes up at "The page you are searching for has either been removed, or the designated URL address is incorrect." And at first the times were off on your forums, when I first looked at this forum post it said everything was Yesterday with the OP starting at 8:41 PM and yours was at 1:41 AM, now that I logged in to reply it has updated the times to show Today 7:38 AM and last post before mine at 12:41 PM. Just a bit of an oddity with that, might make it hard to find current info if the times aren't displaying correctly.

So to clarify could you give a date along with that 3 AM PST timer for the maintenance being done? It is currently 1:45 PM EST on 5/21/2018, are you meaning it'll be finished on 3 AM PST 5/22/2018?

Yes, that is when maintenance will end. The patch will be available for download sooner, though, so your error message should resolve when it becomes available (when that is varies). If it persists past the time the game goes live again, then you should have cause to worry about the error.
