Update Congestion

[Komori]

Finally, I'm at like 200 files left (82%), I started trying to update at 5 or 6 AM, it's 2 PM now.

finally finished updating and am logged in.

What is even funnier about how long this one is taking me (4hrs so far)... once I eventually finish on my pc, I still need to update on my wife's pc and then my xbox /sigh.

It's really been a long time since an update had this many issues for me so I'm not really complaining much but it is indeed painfully funny.

Finally got to the installing files! Oh happy days, gonna fix food while it's on this last leg.

For anyone who's been lucky enough to get the update by now, are you experiencing any in-game lag? After almost 8 hours I finally managed to get the update downloaded and installed, but now FFXI is running unusually slow for me. I'm trying to figure out if it's an issue with my ISP or if it's due to the number of people attempting to update their game.

SE get a clue .. all you had to do is distribute a file like the one so kindly linked to in the above.. and 90% of PC would be done by now.. relieving the congestion for console updates..

Or they can continue doing what they do, by doing nothing and letting the congestion sort itself out in a couple days of users fighting to get it finished.

Remember that this game has hardly a budget. Everything runs under SE Account now and they couldn't even be bothered to slim down the POL viewer to make it faster to launch into FFXI for instance.

Instead of things improving over time, SE has mastered the art of screwing up things that were'nt broken (kinda).

Why keep making updates that are so huge they take 12hrs and cause congestion for 2-3 days? WAKE UP!!!

It's funny that the two people you are worshiping are the two people who created the top two bots for HNM lol

No lag for me. But only 650 people have been able to get on and it's 4:30 PM lol
