1.17b is live - DL now

[Renshi]

On, much crafting to dooooooooo ~ And Xeno, that sucks. XD They need to "fix" or w.e the official downloader for Europe. >_>

If that's so, I love it when [europe.contains("Switzerland") == false] =D

Hmm wanted to upload the update to a file hosting site for a friend but I guess the updater deletes the patch after install now. I remember in beta i could get to the update file even after it was patched.

5.4% downloaded and 0kb/s download after over an hour.... and cant use utorrent anymore? SE fix this stupid... my "other" torrents download at max speed i have do put bw cap on them... and stupid client only doing upload at max my upload speed...

[Aistaraina]

Been at it for an hour... 16.1%. This is ridiculous. I'm upping constantly at 50-100kb/s, but download sits at 0 for 4 minutes flat, then goes for a minute before dying out again.

Yeah you have to sit at your screen, watch the uploader get to 99.9%, and the second it hits 100%, cancel (or even end task) so you can copy the freaking file somewhere.

Or at least that's what I did.

Sites like megaupload always give me an upload error, and while I FTP patches for my friends who are European &/or students, I'm scared of SE making angry faces at me (*._.')

Update been stuck at 0.6 percent and hasnt done anything since! Gonna be here all night! SE needs to fix this retarded update system, no other game I've ever played has screwed players this way on updates. Hope they pull they're heads out of their butts and figure out how to patch like every other game has.

austria (europe) here and mine was done in like 7 min, seriously the installing took longer than the downloading

[morpheus]

yumi did u open any extra ports to help you download faster and btw does anyone know which ports the ffxiv updater uses?

[Pangy]

Assuming you know how to open ports (if not, visit portforward.com),

UDP - 55296 - 55551
TCP - 54992 - 55551
UDP - 443



For some, it's a miracle fix---instantly fixes speeds.

For others, it makes a small or unnoticeable difference. Europe seems to be especially impeded by XIV's downloader.

See, I did that. Patches and patches ago. And I'm sitting at... um... 1hr 30minish left and only 11% done. Can open ports all you want. It helps. Sometimes. Other times it does jack all. Why? Because SE's system for updating needs to be, well, updated.
