Had enough

[TheNamelessOne]

For 2 days now I have been trying to download the new patch and to no end will it download. I have tried near enough everything. Will list what I have tried. Not going to pay for a service I cant play as much as I love the game.

Currently I get the error message 'Unable to download patch files [30413] [20496]'. I have contacted customer support who gave me a long list of work around's to try. these to be precise.

Reboot router
- install to a different location on the HD
- clear out settings files for the game (rename or delete the FF XIV ARR folder in My Documents/My Games) as it does store temporary download files.
- run a HD scan on the harddrive that the game is being installed on, and the harddrive the My Documents folder is on.
- If all that doesn't work, a roundabout solution is to install the game to a different computer, fully update it, and then copy the installation files across to the computer you are playing on.

Now I have tried all of this apart from the very last one as I cannot do that or know anyone that would let me waste 20+ gb of there space and time.

I have tried the following.

Completely obliterating FF14 from my pc, removing it entirely off my pc 4 times then reinstalling it. still get the same error after 20gb has downloaded.

Tried moving it to a different folder.

deleting certain files.

tried all the anitvirus shut downs along with firewalls.

wiped net browsers and adjusted net security to none existence.

I have been on countless forums with the same issue and tried everything anyone suggested on their but no joy. I have stressed myself out tirelessly with this for so many hours that should have been spent relaxing and enjoying this game.

For now I will unsub until something is sorted out with this hell, I have read so many post of people quitting this game because of this issue alone. and these issues are going back years and there is still no fix
