Hi all,
I hope someone here might be able to help me. I have an issue where after clicking PLAY on the FFXIV launcher, the game launches with a black screen. I can close the game and such (meaning it hasn't stopped responding) but it doesn't go further than that. When I close the game, the prompt even pops up asking if I want to. No other buttons or graphics though, etc. After researching, it seems to be a connection problem based on others' posts from a Google search, and I have tried various things to help:

- Tried rebooting computer, then router, then rebooting again.
- Turned off all virus scans.
- Turned off firewalls, Windows Defender (Real Time Protection)
- Updated graphics driver
- Changed the BootVersionCheckMode in the FFVIX_BOOT.cfg from 0 to 1
- Tried changing BrowserType from 0 to 1 and 2
- Did all the changes for Internet Explorer as explained by Einmimiria here (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...o-black-screen)
- Uninstalling/Reinstalling
- Starting as Admin

I am going nuts trying to fix the game. The only thing I haven't tried is changing the ports in any way, because I have no idea how to even begin that even after googling. The game was just fine hours ago, and when I woke up and logged on, now it won't work at all.

Something of note, I live in Europe but play on a US datacenter, and my husband's game works just fine on his computer. (He sits right next to me, same connection, etc.)

If anyone can help at all, I would appreciate it. Thanks so much!
