Good morning everyone!

I apologize Frebant for the ongoing issue you have been experiencing. Just to confirm, are you on a Wired or WIFI connection? Are there other programs being used when running FFXIV? Have you attempted to delete the patch folder from the device? (My Documents > My Games > FINAL FANTASY XIV > Downloads > Delete patch folder [ffxivpatch]). Additionally, please make sure Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge is up to date as the client will launch through these browsers.
Please be sure to also disable all programs/overlays running in the background (Found in Task Manager). Lastly, make sure your anti-virus software has the appropriate exceptions for Final Fantasy XIV.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!
