ffxiv Unable to update patch files [11006] [20819] [20831] [19900] [23]

I'm also having this issue with the same error numbers & everything. I deleted all the files in my patch folder, flushed my DNS, turned off my firewall after allowing everything FFXIV uses to patch, and cleared cookies in IE/Edge just in case the launcher is still using it. No go.

I'm currently reinstalling, so it'll be a few hours before I know if it gets stuck patching "ex3" again and crashes out. I'm not feeling super optimistic, haha. Could it just be an ISP issue, or the servers being overloaded? It's weird that, for me, it's erroring in the same spot every time...

I recommend you make a backup of the game folder first, *before updating!

Doing so will save you hours of redownloading. It is also handy if you get errors.

That way, you can Uninstall then just reinstall the game, but don't open the launcher after installation, simply paste the game folder straight over the newly made one which will be virtually empty, and once it finishes pasting, you can launch the game as usual, login, then update again if issues happened.

I'll see if it lets me do this after it's done downloading the current expansions haha. Thanks! So far it's doing ok and I got past the part I was stuck at before.

I realized I haven't done a full CLEAN install of FFXIV since 2019 so it's long overdue.
