Alternative way to update client... (error [11006][20641][20643])

I've been having this issue while updating since Phase 4 client...

http://i41.tinypic.com/1r56rd.png

I tried all "tips" to solve this: use ccleaner, delete patch folders, no antivirus, no firewall, reinstall.... no luck. You have to try and pray to have a successful update... thats a bit annoying when you have to download 1Gb over and over and over...

Isn't there an alternative way to download the files from updates? I though in FFXIV 1.0 the cliente creates a .torrent...

Finally, i have my FFXIV client updated. I had to download a FULL FOLDER uploaded by a nice guy... it was faster to download 9.11Gb from a .torrent than 1gb patch through FFXIV Launcher...... just.... great...

I know more people have this issue and they didn't receive response from technical support.... so, please... make a "direct download folder" to download patches or .torrent files....

Can you provide a link and a explanation of what you did, please?

I've been having this problem all morning and I'm about to rage at my computer.

Just download the full game from this torrent: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vvem35ww12b1ic0/ff14.torrent. Then copy & paste on your FFXIV folder. It worked for me

it may be a bit late but maybe try opening the ports on your router for this game http://support.na.square-enix.com/fa...b9o1qodmpavb90

i really want to meet some of these people IRL and beat the shit out of them for releasing faulty products. why not just upload torrents for us and put a readme on how to copy paste the files it would probably go faster and have less issues than what we have now.

Im not to sure if it still does this like in 1.0 but when ever the patcher start downloading it saves it too MyDocuments>mygames>FFXIVARR>Downloads>FFXIVpatch

in there are two folders, and what happened in 1.0 it also saved the actual Torrent file in there that you could load up into any torrent program and download the patch through that. then you just copy and paste the downloaded files back into the FFXIVpatch folder and start up the launcher and it will install it from what you downloaded and moved.

It may still work, but i havent tested it on ARR

Any way just to download the patch file it self without having to download the WHOLE game over again?

you cant i tried looking for the patch file from the previous 1gig patch we had but the game deletes it after installing so only solution is to download the entire game folder :(
come on SE i know there is only a minority of us having this problems but would it hurt you to add a manual patch option?

I had this error before, makes sure your SquareEnix folder and My game folder is not on "read-only".
So your patches are able to install

Tried doing the read only fix and many other things no matter what I do I cant do the latest update. I had no issues with the launcher / dling patches up to the last update yesterday. This is beyond frustrating. I have to torrent the game to be able to play it

Okay just want to say I am running Windows 7 so I have no clue if this will help, just gonna run down the giant list of everything I did that worked before and then finally did (maybe one will work for you)

1. C:\Users\<my name>\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\downloads. Delete the ffxivpatch folder

2. Go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\boot
and replace boot with a working copy. *Boot Link*

3. While there I click back to SquareEnix file, right click Final Fantasy XIV, turn off "read only" (it doesn't apply to folder so it will always appear back on if you check again, check a file inside)

4. Turn off any and all firewall or protection services you are using. I have AVG and Windows Firewall both off.

5. Sacrifice a lamb and offer the blood to your god

6. With Windows 7 (and this is apparently in support as well) click Start, in search type "msconfig". In the general tab, turn off "Load startup items" and restart your computer. You may need to "reconnect" your internet if its wireless.

After trying step 6 it worked for me. Good luck to everyone

I see a lot of people who post these issues still have their beta versions installed.

Uninstall it and download the proper version. Might just actually get you somewhere...

The messaging is wrong. I had this error kick back at me this morning, still said (Beta Version), and I've been playing this entire time, from beta4-now.

On PC, Right Click Shortcut -> Run as Admin worked for me, but YMMV.

No known fix for PS3 besides "try it a thousand times and hope to get lucky." Been fighting that error on my PS3 since Beta4.

Yet, SE still told people to uninstall the beta client to prevent issues with the retail version.

It doesn't only relate to the PC platform but the consoles as well... It depends on the install software and how it unpacks and installs the files etc.

Common sense says, uninstall any beta EVEN on the consoles, before installing the retail version to avoid any issues/crashes between the codes from the beta and the retail version...

Also, setting your game to run under admin rights doesn't guarantee it'll work for everyone...

Yes there is!

Download Bittorrent, then use the following file https://www.dropbox.com/s/vvem35ww12b1ic0/ff14.torrent, Then choose to download where your SquireEnix folder is located, don't choose it to download in the folder only where that folder is located, then it will basicly do a hash and see what you are missing, from a 1GB download i probably only downloaded about 100MB using this method :)

Like I said, I got that error after having been able to play for over a week -- I don't have the beta installed on my PC anymore. It's a typo in the error messaging, at this point.

I also said that Run as Admin for for /me/ but, your mileage may vary. Which means, no, it doesn't guarantee it'll work for everyone.

Either way, SE needs to have some sort of better knowledgebase for these errors -- not even their support staff knows WTF these mean.

I Just wanted to say thanks for posting this! My buddy just bought the game and had been having trouble downloading the first major patch. His internet is really bad due to living out in the country and he kept getting short disconnects that would interrupt the first file. Torrent did the trick, though!
