Greetings,

I have been recently getting this https system error -2146697208 for the past few days. Been trying solutions posted from previous posts, but I have no luck finding any results. Perhaps if there is an updated solution for this problem?

Thank you!

Greetings anilife,

Are you receiving this error when attempting to log in via the game's launcher? If so, I would recommend trying out the following:

Open the control panel of the PC and go to ‘Network and Internet’. Once there select ‘Internet Options’
- Under the "General" tab, please delete ALL browser history.
- Under the "Security" tab, please move the slider to the lowest possible settings or no higher than "Medium"
- Under the "Privacy" tab, click “Advanced” and select ‘Accept’ under both First Party and Third Party Cookies.
- Under the "Advanced" tab, please make sure that "Allow software to run or install even if signature is invalid" is CHECKED.
- Make sure that all SSL and TLS (EXCEPT SSL 3.0) are CHECKED. [SSL 3.0 should be UNCHECKED]
- Hit "Apply" to save the settings, and then "OK, to close the Internet Options menu.
- Right-Click on the FFXIV launcher icon and select "Properties"
- Hit "Apply", then "OK" to save the changes.
- Please RESTART your PC now. Once your PC has been restarted, Right-Click the FFXIV launcher icon once more and select "Run as Administrator"

Additionally, you can also try temporarily disabling your Firewall and any anti-virus programs that you might have before running the game.

Hopefully this helps! Thank you for visiting the FINAL FANTASY XIV Technical Support Forums!
