22.7gb update after relogging?

[ManuelBravo]

PC gaming is a joke in the country I'm in. It's pretty much used for H-Games and Dating Sims. Nobody here is arguing about PC vs Console.

We're all pissed that we have to deal with 10-24 hour download times for something outside of our control.

Sigh I think you took it the wrong way, gaming consoles such as PS3/4 or XBOX based might be great for online gaming, as long as the servers aren't over contested. However a PC based game has more comparability reliability than most being parts can be upgraded. For gaming consoles to run a game at a set setting must go through a lot of testing. While Stormblood may have passed those specs it doesn't change the fact that it's going into an over crowed servers specially at a launch of a new expansion. Also that is to be expected with any online game specially MMO's. Patches will continue so still not sure why people are surprised. 22g can be considered the size for SB. If there are too many people trying to download patches common sense would tell you, your not special and time will be needed to download a patch. I was able to download patch during low peek hours and took me only 25min at most. I use my PS4 as a back up when I travel so it may just be your area as well and how service works around you. If people still haven't learned the nature of the beast at least they should be able to understand that this is common for online play, gaming consoles, and any type of expansions. Ever tried VPN?

22.7 gigs is a large patch, especially considering all I us posting aren't first time players and this is all of thebpatches from arr to stormblood.

Also for example my internet is horrid because of the area of the country I live in, and I have capped internet.

This bug is not common for mmo releases, especially considering you do not even have to be playing ffxiv for it to trigger.

And trust me ibunderstand time is important, but there is a diffence between 6 gig patch and a 22 gig.

I did not have a power outage or anything been playing everyday since early access and logged in today and now have to wait for this freaking update this is so fustrating...

Hence a fix from sony in order to run it. Can always mod the gaming console to an external HHD. for FFXIV if your tech savvy enough.

just had power surge so now I have the download as well.

That's a moot point, considering the servers are cross-platform.

However, Sony's system updates have been nothing short of garbage within the last year.
There was a mass hacking that took place in October and they denied it happening. Their support forums were filled with threads along the lines of "I got hacked" and I guess that didn't happen. There was the 4.5 update that happened in March that caused about 80% of console player's connections to randomly lag every minute or so, making online shooters and other live sorta games almost unplayable... and now this update, the people that weren't getting an issue, suddenly are, and the people that had the issue before, it still isn't fixed. Honestly, if I had a computer suitable for gaming, I'd be on it right now. Atleast it's 100% in Square's power to fix the issues with that platform, rather than have to work with Sony to have to deal with it.

Greetings,

We thank you for your patience while we continue our investigation into this issue.

We were able to confirm the issue that occurs when the PS4 loses power in an unusual manner. As such, we've been working closely with Sony Interactive Entertainment to further investigate the problem. In the meantime, we ask that users do their best to shut down the console normally whenever possible. We know there are instances beyond your control, like power outages, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration this continues to cause.

We'll update again as soon as we have more information to share.

Can you please post this on the Lodestone Launcher. I think it's important for players to know and that the recent Software update for PS4 is for a different issue.

nothing yet..... what is SE doing, I had to buy a ups power supply just in case, I live on a budget and I made sure to include ffxiv on that budget and this is ridiculous.


I just wish that they fix this and get over with it

I just bought one myself, I've lost power nemerous times before and have never had to download like this.
