I'm gonna try that, thank you. Yours was the most reliable answer to this mess, to be honest. >_> My friends were recommending buying a USP(or whatever that is named orz) but that can be kinda pricey for me.

I already post here for redownloading 22.7 gb.

I just crash after trying to teleport at Reach after the Foxy Lady Fate. (I know, bad idea xd)

Before starting FF14 i restarted the console, then close it. I started the PS4 in safe mode.(you wait that the console completly shutdown, then hold the power button until it bip two time) then i rebuild the data base.

When i started FF14, it bring me to the registration screen and i didnt have to download it again.

Not sure if it did anything but i will post it anyway. Good luck :)

The sad thing is that they have already charged me the monthly fee. So, it's my loss. Thanks, SE.

I feel your pain in 8 hours I downloaded 5gb, after that my speed has gotten a lot slower where it seems it will take a few days to download for some reason. I stopped trying to download the game already.

I've played the game only once since the begining of the EA.

I'm having the same issues, especially in the evening when my server is overrun but around midnight i can normally access.
maybe it's the same with your server?

5th time now...se needs to fix this soon. :(

Well for me ive restarted many times and not had to redownload. Its the power cutting while the system is reading from the memory.

when you said that you restarted many times, you mean the game or the console, because at this moment I will take anything to avoid to download that thing again

Im having this problem as well, tho mine only happen if my PS4 freezes, or has a sudden failure of some sort, I can log out and in and even restart my system normally, and its not a problem, I hope its fixed soon

Just want to point out that earlier today the Japanese thread about this issue (it is under bug reports 不具合報告) was moved from bug accepted (受理済み) to bug confirmed/ fix scheduled (不具合確認・修正予定).

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...82%8B%E3%80%82

I checked the thread regularly, so I know they just moved it. I believe they are really working on it now. I also submitted bug report ticket in Japanese yesterday.

My power surged for literally a second... and I have to redownload the damn thing... it's rediculous... I was literally walking in lavenders bed... power surged... now I have 12 hours of download to do.... fix this!!!

Yeah. What I'm doing now is sleeping a bit when i'm back from work - from 8pm to 1 am - then I'm usually able to login and play for a couple of hours, before going back to bed to finish my night

It won't be sustainable over the long run but at least helps to catch up (a bit) on leveling. All my friends are 70 since they can play during daytime (they log in early in the morning) and I can't play with them now. It's frustrating.

Of course the above works only if the 22.7gb issue doesn't pop... in that case it becomes hard to articulate both issues

Thanks for the update. I'm glad it's finally being addressed.

They need to fix this fast, is the 3 time i have to do the download

So when they do fix this, would I still have to finish the download? I pretty much gave up downloading the patch and if I still have to do it after that would suck really hard

Hard to tell, I'm trying to download it just in case. I hope not though, it's a really big patch. Took me all day to download and it's still not done :/

Is this happening to ppl with hard copies of the game or just digital versions on the ps4?

Ugh, I thought I was the only one. This sucks, man.

To anyone in PS4 and almost everyone who is dealing with power outages or anything that causes their console to hard shut down.

Well honestly the next time it happens I will try this. Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. I already have to deal with the "unable to obtain character data" issue as a problem #1 to get in the game these days (unless I wake up at 2am for a video game) so being able to avoid problem #2 (this 22.7gb thing) is really important for me. One problem at a time is better.

If the files are corrupted thanks to a power outtage, how is that SE fault? It's the way Sony designed the damn console

I had a power cut while playing Tekken 7 yesterday. Tekken files were not corrupted but FF14 launcher asked me to reinstall when I tried to log in after.

Don't be mistaken, this is the ONLY game that has this problem right now and we did NOT have this problem before the launcher update before they launched SB a week ago. I've had brownouts before over the months and years and the FFXIV launcher NEVER asked me to redownload multiple GB patches after an improper PS4 shutdown. And like I mentioned, no other game other than FFXIV SB, online or single player offline, has EVER asked me to redownload multiple GBs of a patch update due to corrupted files.

This is purely a SE problem. Some software engineer fell asleep at the job and ****ed up when he let this new PS4 launcher update go to production when SB launched. There's no other explanation for it.

Exactly, you don't even have to be playing FFXIV and you'll have to reinstall. Besides that, the files are intact. Everything is there and not corrupted. The launcher is the thing that gets screwy and makes us redownload. Besides that, Sony hasn't had any updates for PS4 as of late. Stormblood and the FFXIV launcher both did. I've had tons of power outages or I'd forget my system was in rest mode and I'd unplug it. Not once did I corrupt any files nor did I have to ever reinstall FFXIV. If anything, I'd turn my system back on and hop right back into the dungeon I was in and finish it. The problem definitely started with Stormblood.

If it was the way Sony designed the console we would have had this problem with A Realm Reborn lol. This is definitely a Stormblood launcher thing.

ok..any1 wanna test if the maintenance fixed it XD?

Lol damn, sorry. 13 hours download for me if it doesn't go my way. But I don't see anything on the updates that it fixed any bug for the PS4, once again all I see are useless glitches and whatever.

After the maintenance always the same probleme.
SE FIX IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sir I have been playing since arr in ps4 and I live in a country that we have constant power outages and this have never happened before, so no is not the console, and if you can read all the comments most people will say the same. before SB this didn't happen. this is a bug that came with SB

lol can't dl the new update now keeps saying unable to complete version check. Thanks se

I have run test after new launcher is downloaded.
I am still in the middle of download for PS4 version for the third time, because I have PC version now.

And... I think it is FIXED now!!!

I pull the plug on PS4 and usual system check up BUT no more "First Time Set Up" and the download resume from where I left.

I won't be downloading the full game anytime soon. So if anyone who have a backup would test and see if this fix for sure, it'd be great. But as far as I see, the "First time set up" is gone now.

almost 3 days and I haven't been able to play, I really hope we get some kind of compensation

The previous launcher version suffix is 5.02 and the game just installed new one 5.03 just now for me. You need to boot FF XIV Stormblood to download new launcher.

A new launcher version is likely to address this kind of issue, but I'm kinda worried about the silence around this issue/potential fix in today's maintenance notes.

I don't think they are going to list it in patch note since this isn't actual game issue but an isolated one on PS4 launcher. As far as I tested, it is fixed!

That means, you have a different connection problem which has nothing to do with the issue in this thread, sorry.
