[PS3] Error loops, Patcher issues.

[Mirili]

I should mention that it's the error code loops involving the Promotion code that have most actively kept me out of the game. They'll simply repeat indefinitely until... they don't anymore, and the signature FF music starts. I'll return with error code strings, and the actual messages left for me when I get them next.

Ah! Something else worth mentioning! After I merged my Sony/Square accounts as prompted, I selected an ancient service account I had active briefly for the computer version, dating back to the Betas before 1.0 (I think, anyway.) Mayhap that was a mistake?

Error codes since posting:

"Unable to download patch files. [20512][10009][19900][-2140076253]"

All right, well, apparently the patcher error is very common, and something you just have to power through until it works. I still have no clue what causes the Promotion Code error. I've started getting it again, after Patch 2.15. I'm not sure I even know what a Promotion code is. Neither of the codes that came with my copy of XIV are labeled promotion codes.
