Patch is up (launcher & client)

PS3 746MB

Cant wait to see if these upgrades they did will improve being able to log-in or if we will still go thru the same issues. I really hope this fixes things. This is a great game... but only when u can actually play it :)

1027.31mb for pc here :)

Big patch.
I wanted to known desc.
I wish this patch fix all problem.
yey yey

No patch notes yet right? Like whatever else they fixed besides adding new servers?

1gb patch to add new servers and ease up on server caps? I dont think so...

I want patch notes.

*waits for the cries about ninja nerfs/buffs/changes*

From what i understand, they are still going to restrict log ins, for a little while. Hopefully everyone understands that.. i can imagine once the games live again, people not being able to log in will come right to the forum crying that nothings been fixed!

On topic though, 1027MB for a server upgrade is quite big, wonder if they added anything :o

It will be all the free mounts and minions to placate the people demanding freebies.

Patch downloaded and installed, servers are still down tho.

1gb patch but servers still down, why not bring servers up before opening patcher

Games open the patcher early to reduce the overall pinpoint load for updating, it also means people can already be ready to play when the servers do open up, most people like it this way.

not a big deal guys, 3 more hours and the servers should be up...

well gg I keep getting a problem has occurred while updating
pleas restart ffarr [11006][20641][20643]
also when I restart it starts downloading the patch all over again gets half way then same error

I prefer it this way so when the server is up, there will be less stress on the server as well as ease up the traffic and not to mention that if you are lucky, you can log in straight away.

That's the same size as the content patch from phase 4 to EA. I think there's something they aren't telling us.

well I guess I'll go to sleep then and try it tomorrow. The stress of the first logins will surely be gone. Let's pray 1017 is a thing of the past now.

Or, you need to stretch out the rubber band holding your tinfoil hat on.

Hoping there is a better queue system somewhere inside that gig xD

Like a queue that doesn't randomly greet you 1 in 100 attempts?

Can't update. Getting an error.

Edit - Ah, got it to work by restarting my PC.

"A version update was performed..."

"Update details will be announced at a later time"

So... You're seriously going to make us wait 3 hours until you tell us what you've updated? lol. Classic SE.

There were no quests from 47-50 in game at launch, so they might be adding those. Also the could be adding some more voice overs since lots of cutscenes only had them half done.

Try get the updated working boot folder from friends or someone here, that will "fix" it until next launcher update. I'm in the same situation, since the previous patch, everytime there's launcher update, I'll get that error after pressing log in >.<
I don't have this issue before and really dunno what I did to reproduce this error everytime now when have update on launcher.

Edit: I've got a tip from FC friend telling me to right-click on the file->properties in the boot folder, and click the "Unblock" button if it's there, repeat this for all files in the boot folder. (The button will only be shown if the file was from someone's else computer) Tested and didn't work for me

It's about 1GB patch for the PC, that is a lot. I wonder what they are adding to the game? Maybe we have some improvement and content patch in the game? Early to say, but 1GB can't be just some simple server log in fix.

I hope they fix the bugs on the Relic Quest

Yeah, I was a bit confused about why some of the cutscenes had voiceovers and others didn't. It never occured to me that they might only be half done. I thought it was just a final fantasy style thing, since i've never had the luxury of playing any of their other games before. Of course it still could be that...

It honestly might just be 1GB because the patcher downloads an entire 1GB archive, as opposed to just downloading the files that changed in the archive and applying them manually.. Disappointing if that's the case, but I've seen it happen with many a game before.

This would be my guess

If this was just a "fix" it wouldn't warrant an entire VERSION update. Fixes generally just change the version build number but not the version itself. Like, 2.0.0129 vs. 2.1.0010. The first is not a complete version update. I don't know. Maybe they just did a poor job of wording whatever it is they're doing. Who knows.

Yeah, I would hope it'd download a manifest file for the update and apply those files to the file container but your explanation definitely seems like what is happening. We'll see when they announce what the patch contained, it should be relatively obvious once they announce the changes.

Just putting this here in case anyone forgot.

I just hope the new patch doesnt introduce a whole slew more of crashes or dcs. Maybes its an anti afk feature?

ya that's great but I get errors when its downloading update looks so promising "sighs"

That's essentially what I was getting at.. It's NOT a fix. If it was they wouldn't have worded it as an entire version update. Version changes usually imply new or additional things.
