Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
Can I get some addition information regarding the issue you’re having?
Please provide:
- Platform (PC, PS4, Mac)
- Type of connection (wired or wireless)
- Other programs running while the game is playing (if any)
- Frequency at which error occurs
- Everything you have tried to resolve the issue
- When exactly does this error come up? On the launcher, or after you log in?
Were you trying to show a screenshot or something in your second post? Unfortunately I can't see it.
We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

- PC
- i use fiber optic connection
- usually i would open chrome while playing, and other programs running in the background, no windows firewall, no antivirus.
- after patch 4.3 it occurs every time i launch the game. have to reinstall to play.
- it comes up after i log in.
forget the screenshot. it's not relevant anymore.
anyway, i just uninstalled and deleted ff14 directory in my document. now my launcher is stuck at "checking final fantasy iv"
Thank you for the update aimmy79.
Just to clarify, the "Checking Final Fantasy XIV" message is right after you log in and will not show the green play button after this, correct?
