patch is live

Well the patch failed and had to restart so restarted and the patch seemed to be doing fine downloading at 2mb a second then it dropped off a cliff and back to only DLing at 0.02-0.04 mbs/s

I'll guess the servers are being overloaded atm.

Stupid IT question "did you restart?" lol, not that but, did you clear your temp. files? Can go get CCleaner and it'll do it for you, just keep in mind that unless you tell it not to it's going to go run through your chrome (/whatever browser) sessions and make your browsers forget you were logged into stuff (not end of the world but could be surprising lol).

There is no stupid question when trying to help
But yeah I've done all that, I even started the game on a new Windows user profile to eliminate any user data related issue but I still get the same error.

I keep getting this error? I tried restarting.

Just popping in to say your Yuna icon for "my documents" is amazing.

Can't even go to bed while it does the update cause I have to babysit the update. (failing and having to restart)

sorry, I saw a few other solutions though and this one seemed popular:

1.) Go to My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
2.) Open up FFXIV_BOOT.cfg in Notepad
3.) Change the line "BootVersionCheckMode" number from 0 to 1.
4.) Launch and you should be good to go!

I got those from my favorite Yuna shrine over a decade ago and I've used them ever since. The site is long gone now but if anyone else wants them I uploaded a zip http://www.mediafire.com/file/bssm6x...a/YunaIcons.7z

Still in maintenance, ffs.

Well it finally completed the update after crashing multiple times. So overall took about an hour to update.

It's supposed to end 4 hours from now. Don't get your panties in a bunch.
