Woah, I saw your thread! It gave me some hope that this could warrant a hotfix, but it seems... uncertain... Did they ever mention if it was something they were working on, if you're able to say? :'(

A friend of a friend said they had the same issue too, but then somehow fixed it. I tried the same things they did though and had no luck, so I'm not really sure what's going on. This was what they told me, it might help you:

"• diable any and all firewalls and antivirus
• change DNS connection to ( primary ) 4.2.2.2 ( alt ) 4.2.2.4
• delete browser history and clear cache
• restart
• turn sleep settings off
• exit out of all background apps ( browser, discord, etc )
• launch ffxiv and start download
• pick a god and pray

if it gives the error again try restarting and make sure the firewalls are down"

These things didn't do anything for me though, sadly; my game is still crashing. We're in the same boat friend TT
