Do i have to reinstall the whole game instead of just doing the ps4 patcher? This is ridiculous Y_Y.
Error 1012 A version update is required.

The patches have been downloaded in the background and were installed today. The issue is it says we need to update to the latest version when we try to log into our characters, yet we have the latest version apparently downloaded/installed.

09-04-2018, 06:31 PMMizunokoWhat you are referring to i already had pre-downloaded and it auto-installed itself this morning. There is no patches for me to download i even did checks like 3 times. So either we had to reinstall the whole game as well or there's a serious problem with this patch.Quote:

And while SE did leave us a guide it was a page long and complicated as all hell, They couldn't simply say something like "please re-install the game as well as do the patch" (if that's what we needed to do i don't even know because of their complicated page long way of guiding us through it which ends up being counter-productive in the first place.)Quote:

I see people over on reddit saying this is an issue with people on the chaos data-center only and if we try others it should work. I am testing that rumor now, if it's true then its SE's screw up not mine.

I have confirmed it is just with the chaos data-center, because i just tried aether and i got in just fine.........which sucks since my main is on chaos.
-
09-04-2018, 06:45 PMPaalHenrikIt appears to be a problem on Chaos. I can log onto primal and the japanese ones just fine. When logging into chaos, I get this error.Quote:

What's funny is SE announcing that the maintenance for this was done early........part of me wonders if they just throw in the code without double checking anything and then just go take a smoke lol. I would rather them take their time and triple check and debug like no tomorrow than rush things and screw it all up only to have to do another maintenance later as well as piss off a lot of players xDQuote:

That is just utterly weird a specific data centre is giving a patching error. I can only assume they forgot to apply an update to that specific data centre.

A guy in reddit said that he browsed other data centers then logged out and back in and tried chaos and it worked. I did the same thing and it worked for me. If anyone else wants to try this it may be a fix. Just brows other data centers and login for a while then close the game and log back in and try chaos.

I didn't have any issues with this...
Went to sleep last night watching Netflix, when I woke up the system was in Rest Mode due to inactivity (which happens every night when I pass out with it on Netflix). FFXIV files were successfully installed sometime before it went into rest mode I suppose, because it all worked just fine when I launched the application this morning. -
09-04-2018, 07:19 PMMizunokoHMM weird. Welp mine is working now so i have no reason to complain. Although i do wish they would try to be more on top of these things. Regardless i am still happy they are paying attention to things the ps4 community want too. I was getting sick of the in client patcher and its errors and reinstall error more specifically. So this is a big plus for me. Hopefully the client also updating every patch also went byebye as my net is very slow and it takes forever just to do the update to the client itself.Quote:

Very strange.
Perhaps there's some kind of file that has to be sent from the data centre to your PS4 when you first connect after the update? And that's not working on Chaos but once you've got it off another data centre, you don't need to do it again?
(I don't actually know how any of this works.) -

GUYS I FIGURED IT OUT!!
If you change your Data server, (you'll see its working for the others as you can create and play a character), then change it back to the europe server, it should log you in no problem!!
Pass this on to save everyone affected! -

I re downloaded the whole game and the patches via the PS4 and it now works for me, seems fully reinstalling the game might be he safe way to get it to work

It should be up and working again now.
My guess would be, that Sony was slacking on its European servers as usual.
