22.7gb update after relogging?

I'm unsure what to do then it would take me almost 5000 minutes to download this update.

Just isn't right meh

This topic on reddit has a response from the staff, but was 3 days ago, I dont know if that was a answer when they thought was a isolated problem, but they need to review this... This is a problem that start with Stormblood...

I have no choice but to stop playing it on PS4 and had to purchase again on PC to play. Oh, don't think like I am one happy customer shelling out another 60 bucks to play. I have a job to review FF XIV PS4 version. There will be a very scathing review for PS4 version soon. Please look forward to it.

Please, do that. If they cant see the forum, maybe a negative review about this draws their attention.

Had a tiny half a second power flicker this morning and now I have to redownload this patch (despite no evidence of it being downloaded showing up in my PS4 storage) for the 6TH TIME.

I'm on Support Chat right now, 90 ppl on the queue. I will post the response in here after my turn.

Thank you for being on top of this, I sent a bunch of support center messages myself but none replied yet. But I've been spreading out the issue as much as I can. Ridiculous..

just wanted to update you guys, that the same link you gave us have a better response from the same SE team member. And that they are now just looking into the problem. hopefully they will arrive with a patch to resolve this situation and we can all go capping that 70 in no time.

"SE_Kahuna [score hidden] 25 minutes ago
The post everyone is replying to is 3 days old, and at the time the post was made, only two players had experienced the issue at hand. It does not reflect the current situation.
This issue is getting an increasing number of posts on the official forums, and I would ask everyone in this thread that hasn't yet participated in it to do so: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...fter-relogging
I have of course additionally escalated the issue. So please rest assured that it's being looked into."

Thank you! Now we know that they are doing something about it! Thank you SE_Kahuna.

Just wanted to pipe in and say that I'm having the same issue.

Power outage and then a huge update. Never used to happened before.

I hope they find out what's causing it and find a resolution in the immediate future.

Had a powercut this afternoon and now i need to download 22.7gb of data. Is my game corrupted and trying to recover data?

This is going crazy now. 500 minutes of DL which means no game for me today. Another technical issue it seems

I pre-ordered it for early access, after reading this problems I don't have a courage to open the PS4 now because the place I live in occur frequent blackout.

I want to play Stormblood without any worries, need to chant holy sermons and prayers before playing tonight for not to blackout, brownout, power shortage or PS4 freeze. lol

Anyway this shit need to fix right now, nobody deserves this!

Any possibility to avoid this by using the game disk? I received it today

Yep..4th time here... 7hours each one....same issue as everyone, poweroutage and then 22g to download. this is so frustating.

I just had power outage and experienced the same issue.
With my internet, 22.7gb will take over 1000 mins which is very frustrating.

I'm really enjoying the expansion and hope this get fixed soon.
ps. This is my 1st time posting on the forum.

First time posting on this forum just to say this has happened to me on PS4. Also to say that PSN has the slowest download rate ever :(

Yeah mine caps at 1.40MB/s where my usual internet is more around 50MB. I dont know if there s a solution to increase the DL rate at least? It wouldnt be that bad if the DL took one hour or so.

I have 60MB down for my local cable and I am currently capped at 0.65mb/s downloading this patch!

Same story as everyone else here, power hiccuped and I was left with a massive patch download. And now my download speed has been throttled down to a comically low .20MB/s, unlike a lot of others on this forum o will not be starting this back up until it is proven to be fixed.
I don't have the time to play around with 6-12 hour downloads every day. I only have a few hours a day to play so it is pretty disheartening when this happens on my one day off...

Yeah that s why I'm curious about using the Stormblood disc - which is supposed to contain ARR and HW too - instead. Did anybody try it? Couldnt be slower

Same issue, I posted on French forum a few days ago.

Problems for the main scenario quest, 2890 people in queue yesterday, now 22.7 Gb to download.. Good job SE!!

It happened to me twice... i`m getting really pissed about.
Almost everyone of my friend are just too far from me now.
Downloading at 0.2 T_T MB/s , i have just played 2 day of the early access cause of this .

Power outage too 22GB downloads for a few hours

Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed?

After I had to download the 22.7gb (approximately 8 hours) I didn't switch off my PS4 during most of the early access (as I don't really have the internet for such big downloads).

Today I disconnected from the game and was dreading this "first time update" appearing again. After switching my ps4 back on and logging into the game, I was met with a message to register stormblood to my SE account (as it was the digital version). This was a similar message to the message I got during my first day logging into early access, but NOW it recognised the collector's edition version.

I did not have to download update again. So not sure if this has been fixed or if I was just lucky. Waiting in the queue as we speak...

This is quite interesting tbh. On my side im doing the DL and not cancelling it as I'm granted with a 1.4 mb rate at the moment - which is more than the average rate i've seen on this topic so I want to keep it. But on the other hand i have the SB disc since yesterday and I could probably force the launcher to bypass this DL by entering the registration code in the PSN - and therefore meeting the message you describe.

Im a bit lost. DL is 40%ish now. Idk if I should try this or ...

Same for me, appened by accident to plug off the ps4 e bom 22.7 gb of download, the problem is i have to wait 3000 minutes beacause of my slow connection and it is really not pleasant if i will have to do it again just for logging out... pls SE let us know something

and so ps4 players have been abandoned again.

This just happened to me as well, short 1 second power flicker, now having to let the entire 22'749MB game download again.

Hope it gets fixed extremely soon, I now dread my power going out again and suffering through this again.

just happened to me. this is utter bullshit. this entire launch is a joke. youd think from 2.0 to now theyd get shit right.
edit: and not a word from se about this

Just happened to a friend of mine too. How is that even possible that a power outage completely erases a specific game.

And no one fix this problem since 3 days, the support staff doesn't exist in this forum?

I recieved a response to my demand to NA Customer service that they refund my monthly subscription if this issue is not addressed. Basically a canned reply that they will look into my ticket within 2 business days & tips on what to do if I applied my monthly fee to the wrong account...what a joke!

English staff don't do shit on this forum

Now that I had a PC version ready, I decided to make my PS4 a lab rat and run some test!

First, I run a different digitally downloaded game (Persona 5), and intentionally cut off the power, and PS4 went into recovery mode and viola! The dreaded first time set up and 22.7 GB download. I am not even playing Final Fantasy XIV Stormblood. Persona 5, the game I was playing, has no data lost, what-so-ever.

Next, I cut off the power on main menu without running game. PS4 booted into recovery mode and guess what? 22.7 GB hellhole again! I wasn't even running anything.

Next, I forcefully shut down PS4 WHILE FF XIV is downloading the patch by holding power button for 10 seconds. PS4 didn't boot into recovery mode and no 22.7 GB download. In fact, the download resume without any hiccup. :/

Conclusion

It is definitely the launcher/downloader. Whenever PS4 goes into 'Recovery/system check up' mode, the launcher derped out and re-download everything as if it is a first time set up, even if there is no data corruption. This didn't happened with previous launchers!

I no longer have this problem anymore because I just switched to PC, but I cannot rest until this problem is fully resolved. While this bug maybe insignificant for people with very high download bandwidth and data cap or living in a place where power outages are rare occurrences, but it is a MAJOR GAME BREAKING BUG for people with slower internet and tighter data cap.

only shit thing is that it may happen again if its not even acknowledged by SE/fixed. this shouldn't even be an issue at all tbh. posted on the jp forums they deleted it and I posted it right back up.
