I'm undergoing the 6th try to reinstall FFXIV. Game crashed when I got to "Butcher's Blood" and even then ONLY after I first talk to Lyse in The Locks which is the second "stop" in the main scenario.
I had another character that I had brought all the way through, ready to begin "Post Stormblood" scenarios and the game crashed. The launcher wouldn't even allow me to START. It took me from August to October to get him that far.
So I started a new character. This one made it past the final battle with the Viceroy and allowed me to start in on the "Iterdimentional Rift" side quest along with continuing the main scenario quests through the "Mad King's" treasure quest. The very next quest, I believe, is "Butcher's Blood" and BAM!! Crash!
I've looked up the error codes in forum threads and applied all the suggested fixes from killing my firewall to even checking my TCP ports. I've even lowered the resolution quality, toggled the full screen, etc, EVERYTHING that has been suggested, CRASH!!
Finally, at wit's end, I went to dump the old and reinstall. 5 times now I've gotten 60% or better with the install and I get, "Unable to complete version update. (30437)"
I see everywhere references to Registration Codes with Mog Station or with Square Enix websites but I've never SEEN a registration code for my purchase. I've looked through all the emails as well. NO indication of my registration code. I don't even see one with the paperwork that came with the Game Key for the "One Time Password."
Today, in searching through to see if I may have overlooked something, I noticed something odd.
I purchased the entire collector's edition for PC/Windows format back in August of 2020. (Perhaps September. I have email confirming purchases in BOTH months.) As it appears in Mog Station, the collecter's edition INCLUDES Shadowbringers however I saw something moments ago that only listed up to Stormblood in the Collecter's Edition for PC.
Fair enough, I may have reached the end of where I could go. Happily, I will purchase what I need to play the rest of the game, but I can't get the game launcher to complete the download.
I have no idea WHAT to do now. Need advice.
