22.7gb update after relogging?

This really needs to be fixed. It happened to me again today. It's not so bad for me as I have good internet, but for those out there who have to wait 5+ hours for the game to completely install again is /really/ lame. I hope it'll be fixed with the PSN maintenance.

Hello guys, day 10 of these issue, like i said before dont give up please make these public they need to hear. Il continue in facebook, reddit. We have 65 pages of victims we sre many so join our efford. Cy

Just happened to me and my dad. 8000 minutes to go. Someone just end me :(

If the problem is with the launcher I doubt the PSN maintenance would rectify it

I do doubt it would be fixed with Psn maint, but I do not think it's necessarily on se and at this point.

The PSN maintenance has nothing to do with this. It's a routine maintenance. But hopefully they figure out how to fix it soon. I would bet this is moreso Sony's fault than SE's.

Just happened to me as well -_-

65 pages and counting. How long until we have a fix for this, I wonder?

PSN maintenance could eventually fix it, because Sony is also working on this, along with SE.

It is on SE. Stromblood happened = issue happened. We cannot put that on Sony even if it's the Ps4 data checking screwing FF14... simply because it worked fine before Stromblood.
It is the game which is supposed to deal with the system, not the opposite.

20hr for me and happen twice ty Square Enix

650 minutes remaining of my re-download. It would be nice if there were a notification about this issue on the Lodestone. I had my power flicker, like many others, and here I am. Had no idea this could happen. Please inform the other PS4 players of this issue.

While you are right in general there are other things that could of happened on Sony and that was the cause as well, but is still patially se fault.

For instance Sony could of uodated the ps4 after stormblood went into gold and the codes didn't like each other.

I sort of think this is what happened, but it's weird it didn't crop up in hw. So probably disnt test the launcher reaction under strange circumstances with new code. So probably both their fault but only Sony can alter the reading of thevdata.

Either way shouldn't of happened.

The issue started before any PSN update. It happened to me the first day of early access. The only psn update I know of was a week later. And right before Stromblood update, there was no problem. I can tell... because I have a lot of power surge, at least twice a day.
But yeah, if the game had issue after a PSN update, I would blame Sony. But this isn't what happened.

Lemme tell you how I had a power surge today around 4:30pm and the special power strip thing with the built in battery that I bought saved my PS4 from going off while I was in queue to log in. Am happy it worked.

Hopefully, this update they're putting out tonight is actually tested and will actually solve issues. PSN has a bad habbit of just throwing updates at things and not knowing about what they do.

This is the THIRD time i redownload the 27 Gb file since stormblood Early Access. Twice in 18 hours... And that's 4.5 hour download for me.
It is beyond ridiculous at this point. I have never had any issues prior to Stormblood.
For the content and new jobs I really enjoy Stormblood, but this crap, along with Raubahn's wall...... Have made me really frustrated.
SE please fix this!

First time this has happened to me. Quick power outage and then had to download 22.7GB of the game. I know SE knows about this problem but please give us daily updates in order to ease our minds a bit.

Square isn't planning on fixing this are they?

What update?

It's just scheduled maintenance as far as I've heard. Haven't heard anything about a maintenance sadly :/

Errr update.**** idk how to edit on mobile sorry for the spam :(

This just happened to me as well. Well damn, there goes a full night of enjoying the game...

Yea I think I might just stop paying on my account until this issue is resolved. I cant keep wasting my nights redownloading. Its something they should be sorting out a lot faster than they are.

It just happened to me right now.

A fuse blew up here and when it came back i'm prompted with the same 22.7GB download everyone's getting.

I swear SE, sometimes...

Hi,
This issue just happen to one of my FC member. We were just doing our daily duties and suddenly my friend disappear. It took 4 hours to be back on the game. The reason: power outage.
As everybody said already, this didn't happen before StormBlood but now it is happening.
I'm not here to complain, just to let SE knows that one more person is impacted, so please have a look at the problem. Power outage could happen at any time, any where for any external reason.

Please SE if you can look to the problem to avoid all the unfortunate people that have power issues to have to wait multiple hours to play to their favorite game will be much appreciated :)

Just wanted to chime in to say this issue occurred to me except it happened on PC and I believe it occurred not due to a power outage but because my computer decided to hit me with the "blue screen of death" right as I was launching the game. Re-downloading now, praying that it'll be ok.

Is there an ETA or Update on this? It's been a week since this problem has been happening. I think users deserve a response now even if you don't have a fix yet.

Yay, it happened again. Nothing more fun than spending 800 minutes downloading a game :D

Sub just ran out preordered stormblood havent been able to login since early access started. We need a free login week, not resubing till its fixed. Guess its ESO Morrowind a while for me.

This is my 4th restart now. 22.7GB download.

My sub runs out this coming week, and I won't resub until there is a solution.

Well I'm upset now just bought the game with all the expansions and now can't play for the whole day since my internet is garbage I'm going to go cry in a corner now

The problem I am most annoyed by is SE's silence on this whole matter.
If I had a USB battery backup, or a solar array, or a generator.
The Lodestone warning of this problem, ie "Some players are experiencing technical problems with patch files if they lose power during play." would have made it possible for me to put in a pre-empted backup battery system.
I can't get the download complete, it takes 30 hours and there is always some point where the DL errors.
I'm really sad SE.
Pretty soon shear boredom is going to drive me to the same decision as Rikith.

so is not a ps4 issue, is anything that loses power... good to know. and still nothing from SE

Whelp count me in on the "power flickered, I'm boned" roster, the power flicked yesterday and kicked me out of palace but I managed to get back in just fine afterward... this morning it's wanting the 22 gigs. I tried restoring licenses, doing the PS4 rebuild etc, but nothing works. So much for the vacation I took so I could play this! I don't understand why NOW it's mad, when it was just fine after the actual power loss event.

Me too 25hr of download and happen twice good job Se ...And they dnt say anything more

Well, count me in for another one of the "power outage, download 22GB" recipient of this problem...
I just renewed my sub for 2 months and only been playing for a few days. And I certainly don't want this issue to be plaguing me to make my paid sub seems not that worth it anymore...

Just happened to me as well, big "patch" after power outage. Which means... I won't be able to play for at least 3/4 days, since I'm here with some 2100 minutes to be dealt with and I can't keep my PS4 on all the time.

Just happened to me now. Power outage and now a 22GB download. When are they going to fix this?

PS4 here,

In the interest of ~science~ I tried deleting the whole thing (after uploading/backing up my character and system file) and putting in realm reborn, then heavensward, then stormblood. ARR/HW both had something to install, SB didn't. Still having the same issue. You can't tell me that there's 22.7 gig of patches in entirety? They can't say the game files are corrupt, since they're fresh-installed. The loader even redownloaded.

This is still going on?! What the heck, man?! I had to buy a battery backup and now whenever I log out, I just put my PS4 on Rest Mode without turning off the Stormblood expansion. It is working so far, but I would like to be able to properly turn off my PS4 once in a while, SE, dev. team and Sony.

The first time this happened to me there was no power outage and the system and game were turned off as optimally as possible and it still happened. So yeah, at least give us a communicate of how things are going with this.

So this is the second time this has happened to me, get this fixed square, your silence on the issue is unacceptable.
