Is it served off a different Akamai server to the others?

Its amusing though that we've figured out more of this problem than we've heard regarding it from square at the moment. I changed my Windows default DNS to 4.

At this rate they should hire and pay you :P. Issue is still on-going on my end. It's completely mad that we're expected to download 5 different VPNs and obscure apps just to troubleshoot. Major kudos to everyone posting fixes but this does not absolve Square Enix of the responsibility fix their launcher or at least provide an alternate method of downloading the patch files.

The same issue has popped up in 5. Are we expected to sign up for VPNs every time a patch goes live? We'll run out of free trials quick, especially considering there's no guarantee a VPN will work even if we download it.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions. Betternet worked for me in the end. I cannot deny that this experience has soured me towards the game though. I don't know if I want to keep supporting a massive gaming company that hasn't even bothered to respond to part of it's playerbase, let alone fix the issue.

They will just wait until eventually this thread dies out and they can breathe a sigh of relief
