Patch is done downloading, but it won't install because of this error.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

delete the .patch file and redownload. you probably got a hashfail. try the actual square p2p client

Oh, I did. I was in the process of redownloading it with uTorrent.

At least you got it to start patching, I wasted about an hour and a half with uTorrent, only to have the file not work at all.

Have you swapped any DAT files?
I did get an error (can't remember if it was 20524) with 1.22 because I swapped the 2 Chocobo Music DATs.

nope, I've tried a direct dl provided by a friend, and even that didn't work.
How is it this game is nearly 2 years old, and it's dl client is STILL the worst feature?

I figured out what was wrong. I used a 4gb patch, and i may have accidently deleted my backup exe. I had someone mediafire a vanilla one, and it worked!

Ive downloaded the bloody patch 3 times and I'm still getting the error.

Edit: I've downloaded the patch 4 times, 3 times with the official patcher and once with Qtorrent.

WTF, did you download the patch is only 238MB.

Edit: i understand what you mean now, but you shouldn't have to download a patch to make a program Large Address Aware...check the tool below.

ah, im so stupid. i keep Forgetting my Windows 7 Pro x64 Edition Tags everything in the Program Files as being Large Adress Aware.

if you guys use W7 Professional/Corporate X64 and have FFXIV installed in Program Files instead of Program Files(X86) check All the game related EXE's Using the LAA tool here @ http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=112556 it also explains how to use it.
