When can we start download new patches?

The maintenance window is between 1:00am 2 Dec and 1:00am 3 Dec. So I won't be able to start download new patches until maintenance finishes?

On my PS5 the countdown says it will unlock at 3:50am EST, so I'm guessing around then for PS4/5 players. We will have to see though. They usually put the patch up for download a couple of hours in advance, sometimes sooner.

Edit: Thanks for the information below. That narrows the window down considerably.

Yoshida said in the patch reading stream that it'll be around afternoon Japanese time.

We don't know when it will start. I'll be watching this post closely. If you get the download started, please post here and specify PC, PS4/5, or Mac.

It would appear so.

I just tried to login and wasn't able to. So I guess we'll just have to wait until after 1 am PST tonight. :)

Edit: seeing what was posted above, I guess I'll periodically check this afternoon and evening, just in case they do allow early patching.

I am hoping they let us down load it sooner just so we can log in when it comes up

A few hours should be enough for some people, but I know that not everyone's internet is the same. If it goes live at 10/11pm EST then that will give everyone 4/5 hours to get it downloaded and ready to go.

It should be, they said it would be down from 12/2 1am Pacific standard time to 12/3 1am Pacific standard time that would be 3am eastern time so with any luck maybe they will let us start earlier download. Who knows.

1 am PST will be 4 am EST, no?

It's 4am eastern, you're forgetting daylight time change.
