Download client + plugin ( one download ), then follow instructions on page. When you choose a server to connect to, choose the top server on the list. It was Japan for me, as the US servers I picked all failed to download. Once you are connected to the server, launch FFXIV. You should have a small download, but it took about 10 minutes for me. Once that download is completed, log out of the VPN completely. Close FFXIV launcher, then open it back up and you should be able to download another patch.

Thanks a lot, guys, but downloading the whole game again would take me hours and I just installed/patched it three days ago. I tried MrDanger's workaround and it didn't fix it, so I guess I'll just wait for the devs to do something about it.

You're not stitches from youtube, are you? I watched your character creation videos the other day, nice work.

No that's not me.

Now when go to download get files 30413 and 25008 fails to download then client closes. not sure how to get it to fully download gets to about 600mb then it closes.

Dont know if just lucky but after so many tries when that error window popped up instead of hitting the "ok" button I just hit the "x" button up top and it updated the launcher without closing. I didnt alter files or anything.

UPDATE #2: I tried all of the options that were given down below (Except the VPN option), and none of them worked for me. I guess i'll just wait until SE fixes the issue themselves... Really bummed at the moment. :/

Hi guys, this happened to me tonight. I searched and it appears if you force a launcher update it all works our (Confirmed its worked for me!!)

Go to: my documents\my games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A realm Reborn\

Edit the file FFXIV_BOOT.cfg

Edit the line: BootVersionCheckMode from 0 to 1

Then relaunch your game and it will update the game.

i was havin the same problems i got to about 525 MB, then error pop up.

i tried all the non VPN solutions here, still a no go.

put in a support ticket, but yeah, don't feel like waitin round for a reply.

so i tried the VPN, it worked but was slow, like 10 hours + slow. i remembered that at points the launcher will save progress of the download. so i let it get to about 1050 MB. Canceled the download, shut down launcher, disconnected and shut down VPN, restarted launcher on my normal connection and BINGO!!! it saved the progress and continued downloadin.

i think it may hangs at a certain amount and the launcher saves it somehow, at least that what it seems like to me. i'm thinkin if ya can use the VPN long enough to get it past your hang point ya can manually cancel, shutdown Launcher and VPN. then restart with your normal settings.

Hopes this Helps
