PS4 Migration confusion.

Are the pre update files available now and has the issues been fixed? or is it still having some issues?
Do we just reinstall the whole game on september 4 2018? Or can we do it now?

We were supposed to be able to start pre-downloading the files ready to install on the 4th, but there’s some kind of issue that makes the download fail and vanish when you open the FFXIV launcher.

Someone on another forum posted a conversation they had with tech support - it’s a known issue and they’re trying to work out what’s causing it.

Interesting.

On the morning of the 28th my system started to download the files and took about 12 hours to do it. It successfully completed, and they say they are ready to install on the 4th. I was unaware there were any issues.

This worries me more than it should. I play every day for a few short hours and my PS4 has not picked up any type of download when I boot up or log in to the game.

Hope a fix comes out before the 4th as re-downloading the game is a 12+ hour thing for me.

Yeah, I've been waiting for the download too and I've not seen anything yet. I hope I don't just have to download it on the 4th all in one go :/

I thought they said they were putting the migration thing on hold because there was technical difficulties with the pre-download patch files or something.

Hopefully they let us know any updates concerning this issue. XD would appreciate it more.

Perhaps tonight they’ll say something about what they’re doing with it during the live letter

my background download started this morning.

My pre-download is working as I speak. :P

So do we have to delete the whole game to get pre migration files or not? and just press option>update files on ps4?
Cuz I tried checking update downloads and its currently updating a 22 gig file name : Final Fantasy XIV: Version 7.06
Is this the pre migration file?

It should be, mine started updating when I turned on my PS4

No, you don't have to delete anything and yes, that's the pre migration file.

ty very much.

If they still find any problems in the upcoming days. The update wil get deleted by force, you will never get a faulty patch to corrupt your game. I got the download last week and it was suddenly gone after the error.

There is now a message showing in the chat log when I first log in, saying that the issue has been resolved and the download should be working - but if you had already downloaded the file, you will need to do it again.
