Well, My Patch Has Already Error'd and Closed itself.

Started downloading the patch about half an hour ago.

The Launcher appeared with the message

Quote:

Unable to patch files:
[03413][20496]

And then force closed itself.

I started the launcher up again and re-logged in and the patch continued where it left off (I'm assuming), skipping over the effected files.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

Did it start DLing a patch that was fewer gigs than what you originally started DLing?

That's happened to me before when my patches would error and shut down. It's picking up where it left off, thus showing fewer gigs to DL. In my case, nothing bad happened.

I play on Console, too if that helps

I didn't check the size when I stated downloading, but it says 8034.04MB total now.

I play on PC. I did a couple of good Virus scans last night, but I don't think they attempted to remove anything from my FFXIV folders.

More than enough, I have a 1TB hard drive and I haven't even used half of it, LOL.

Your internet and/or connection to square enix probably just hiccuped, nothing to worry about. It's happened to me a few times on patches, I just had to restart my client and everything worked fine.

Usually when a file errors the patch will try to redownload the files that you were not able to get before. That's just how a patcher works. Don't sweat it, it was probably just a small error and your patch should be fine.

This is reassuring. :)

I've had tons of problems with patches in other MMOs (especially, TERA. F*cking TERA patches, ugh.) where any little error meant to reinstall the whooole game. Which takes 1-2 days with my internet. I've never had a single error with any of FFXIV's patches so I supposed it just surprised me a bit. ^.^"

If you have the 8034 MB patch, you're DLing the full patch. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

Alrighty. :o

Thank you so much for the help everyone~ I think we can safely say this is (probably) going to be fine.

Haven't gotten an error, but I do have a 9.6GB patch downloading right now. Boyfriend downloaded the 4.3GB patch from earlier, I copied it (the whole install folder) over to my comp, launched & selected Heavensward to start installing in the little expansion pop-up screen, got a 9.6GB patch. He got a 3GB one (same files, as noted) opening the launcher immediately after I finished copying. It's kinda...concerning. I knew about the whole "if you start downloading after a certain time you get the bundled up 8GB patch instead of separate ones" but this is a whole gig more.

I was able to see 3.8GB-ish on PS4 so far

Yea me too. My main pc got the patch in 2 parts. Other 2 pc in same house just got the big 8gb one. I am banking on the version checker built into the launcher to save me if something should need fixing.

Good grief, given this context it's no wonder you were worried! I'm glad I only played Tera for a week.

I had a group of high school friends who could only play F2P and they picked TERA. The game-play felt really... clunky to be considered a "true action" MMO. Vindictus did it way better. I had to stop playing it because of the patch issues. It felt like every second patch my game would corrupt itself and I'd have to install the whole thing over.

So they still play that while I play FFXIV and they get jelly of all our awesome stuff. ^.^
