Error 0 - Forbidden

[Chigs]

I am also getting this. Was fine a few hours ago and now I get system error 0 and the forbidden text.
Steam user here if that matters.

Launch steam - select to launch FFXIV
The FFXIV launcher loads but as soon as it does a dialog with the title "FFXIV Launcher" states A system error has occurred: 0. Unknown
Only option is to click OK
Launcher then has in place of the UserID Password TOP fields -

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

This is before I have even keyed in UserID, password etc.





I have rebooted
I have restarted my router - it's 5G
I have even used an alternative service provider sim in the 5G router just in case that was the issue

As this seems to be impacting several people I suspect it is something I am unable to resolve through these normal methods.


******* ADDITIONAL + WORKAROUND *******

If I navigate to Documents / My Games and then manually rename FFXIV_BOOT.cfg to FFXIV_BOOT.cfg.old then launch FFXIV I have to key in account details and am able to launch the game. However as soon as the game is exited and launched again the error 0 happens. This renaming of the FFXIV_BOOT.cfg may be a workaround for those who need it but it has to be done each time it seems.
