Fixing The Launcher Update Error In Final Fantasy XIV
Fixing launcher update errors in Final Fantasy XIV is easy. However, they can be attributed to various reasons. You could be suffering from issues such as:
- Outdated client software.
- Poor network connectivity.
- In-game server issues.
- Poor PC hardware requirements for the game.
Troubleshooting is a matter of trial and error. Some of the many fixes include:
- Checking your internet connection.
- Updating the Final Fantasy XIV launcher.
- Check the server status.
- On PC, consider updating your graphic car drivers.
- Adjust your firewall or antivirus settings to allow access to Final Fantasy XIV.
Keeping the launcher is essential to ensuring you never have a launch-related issue. I recommend ensuring that the game can be auto-updated to avoid errors. Adjusting your firewall and antivirus settings to allow access to the game is also essential. In my experience, you can give the launcher administrative access to bypass anything your firewall or antivirus might block. However, it’s a good idea to go into both and tick off Final Fantasy XIV to avoid issues anyway.
Final Fantasy XIV is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
