22.7gb update after relogging?

[Ailis]

Honestly my download finished yesterday and I am able to play normally but I'm really scared something out of my control will happen and I'll have to download those files again. That's what happened to me and to most people in this thread and I get that it's being looked into but it's extremely frustrating considering most of my friends are way ahead of me now.
22.7gb is no joke to most of us from what I've seen, it takes hours if not days to download. If it was a one-time thing only that wouldn't be as bad but it's bound to happen again if we're unlucky. We just want to play this game like everyone else and this problem isn't letting us. I was extremely upset when it happened to me and I can only imagine what other people that had to download it more than once are thinking, the frustration is real.

it seems backing up your game to your hardrive works fine so if u have a harddrive go for it! I also downloading it again Q.Q

I advice you plug your ps4 and modem to an UPS so you can shutdown your PS4 safely

Dear SE,

What everyone is trying to say is that we love your game. I'm in love with what I've played of Stormblood so far. It's amazing! Thanks for everything that you've done for us thus far. It's because we love this game that we want to support it and to be able to play as much as possible. However there are those players like me that have limited play time, plus I have really bad internet. It's the best I can get in my area. It's just where I live. I've had my power to go out and I had to download it all. It took around 15 hours. It did the same thing to my wife. We were shocked because this has never happened before. When I do get to play we have so much fun, but we're scared that we may have to redownload everything again. The whole time I play I have anxiety and I constantly check to see if there's a response from you guys in hopes it's being worked on. Today I logged in as usual and I clicked start. It booted me back to the launcher. Then I logged in again and it gave me a red error message in every language. My heart sank, I thought I was going to have to redownload again, but I got lucky I guess. What I'm trying to say is, we love your game. We want a fix and that's why we're here telling you guys. I keep seeing things being fixed and right now Ruby Sea is being worked on again. Thank you for all your hard work. This issue is devastating to us PS4 players. We've never encountered this before. It's not like the duty problems. At least we can still play the game. This problem is really bad. It makes it to where some of us can't even play at all due to time/Internet connection. Having to redownload the same thing over and over is crippling to us and our data usage. Please look into this for us, we need you SE! We want to continue our journey together in the Far East!!!!

SE member in Reddit replied to me saying that they are still actively investigating the problem, and that it must be a bit harder to fix. Wows. Real, confidence booster right there.

Yeah it works!! The one I have doesn't have the 3.0 USB so there's that >_< It's like playing ffxiv with a little more adrenaline until I get my hands on one. I'd rather have SE fix it though so I don't have to rely on something external

I am on my 3rd time redownloading the patch, i cannot avoid the PS4 from shutting down incorrectly since i live in a 3rd world country, power outages are common, maybe once or twice per week.

Well, this just happened to me too... :|
Oh, no big deal, i just have to wait 1113 mins watching my screen.

I just logged in and had this happen to me. There was no power outages. My ps4 wasn't turned off. All I did was log out and close the game. Then I go to get back on and I have to download 22 gigs for no reason. This is really ticking me off. I'm just trying to enjoy the amazing expansion, now I'm thinking about not resubbing 'til the problems fixed because WHO KNOWS WHEN IT'LL BE FIXED.
