22.7gb update after relogging?

[xSinful_Snake]

Thanks SE, in conjunction with... SE? lol, Just realized both these companies have SE... Anyways, listen. I'd like to thank you for corrupting my HDD's files today. I was able to get a lot done in the 3-4 Hours it took to RE-DOWNLOAD 22GB OF FILES AT 4-5Mbps.

First I started by cleaning up a little bit. I also cleaned the dishes. I took out the trash, and I walked the dogs, watched an episode of iZombie. I also contemplated the meaning of life, watched a few videos of funny animals on YouTube, and posted on social media. I updated my resume and I repaired a few electronics around the house. I also messaged a few old friends and family.

So thanks, Square Enix and Sony Entertainment, because today, your consistent failure to solve virtually every issue presented to you in a timely manner no matter how big or small when it comes to PS4 Players, enabled me to give myself the time to do the things I would've done anyways after I finished playing, instead of using your product that us PS4 players pay a premium subscription fee to-... Well, I was going to say "play", but since I'm really just feeding my ISP my money to simply download your game over and over, I'll go with "be fed vaguely concocted responses about how you've laid the problem on another company who doesn't require them to re-download any OTHER game title every time they suffer a power outage", because it sounds more... truthful.

You know what might help the situation though? An technical update on the issue, not just another "We're talking to Sony... they're just not talking back", styled announcement. Free advice for you, because well, I think you need it.

This is my second time downloading this. This is pure bs. They should at least keep us updated on the progress of what they know or dont know at least. I shouldnt have to go buy a ups because they have a faulty product. Wouldnt this mean that ALL ps4 subscribers would have to go buy a ups if they dont want to redownload the "version update".

The lack of communication is annoying, but the total inability to contact them and ask them is even worse. =\ It seems like they've purposely cut off their support from having to talk to people live. They used to have live chat but that's gone, and there's no support phone number or twitter account.. Talking to a GM in game is basically impossible now too. I really don't understand. It's not unreasonable to expect decent customer service when we have to pay a monthly fee.

I finally got to the home stretch, the last 2G.
What does it do? It fails and gives me an error.
Now if I so much as ATTEMPT to open the launcher I get put into a perpetual black screen. I've just uninstalled and am trying to reinstall my game, but now it's stuck in a perpetual loading screen on the game file. This is *FRUSTRATING* beyond belief and makes me question why I even pay as much as I do a month.
All of this because a f***ing electrical storm knocked out my power while I was playing, just bloody PERFECT.

if anyone can give this forum post to the media(any new website will do good) then I believe that SE will do stuff

I just got hit with this. This sucks...

Third time here and 1600 minutes to go. I don't even care If it's a Sony or a SE issue but I'm paying SE for a service and I expect answers or updates, more than 100 pages already and a miserable response a few weeks ago here in their official forums is a really bad joke.

Whelp.. I called Sony to ask them and got hung up on, and then I tried live chat and the guy said they had no reports of this issue and no information, and kept telling me to contact Square Enix even after I showed him this thread and showed him the notice of Square Enix saying they were waiting on Sony. I explained to him repeatedly that someone had to know SOMETHING since they're supposedly fixing it, but nope.. That's encouraging.

Jesus... It's so bad that they just redirected you in a circle like this. It really is a game of blame. Well, we're probably not going to see any fix anytime soon since the two companies seem completely uncoordinated in their own communication with each other, which definitely sucks.

Just got this issue as well.
If the only true solution is to actually redownload everything, I will not be able to play this game again.
My download speed during patches is 0.18 MB at best. Paired with the incessant "Unable to download patch files" message, it took me more than three days to download Stormblood with its ~6 GB. I had to babysit the download the entire time, canceling the download every 20-50 MB so that it would "save" my progress and stave off the patch files message.

Redownloading the entire thing is an irritant to some, but to me it is not really a possibility on my internet.

I'm not bitching. Just telling everyone on here who can't control their emotions to get a hold of themselves. I'm not trying to tell everyone that I'm the "bigger" person. You forget that I'm also dealing with this too I guess. That I also pay monthly. You tell me to learn to brush it off but you seem to have a problem with that. I fail to see how having a bigger passion for the game means threatening to sue and to quit. Get out of here with that, It's pretty pathetic how you have chosen to attack my character when I haven't said anything about you.

no, but you discrediting other's opinions and expressions is pretty pathetic, you might as well be attacking their character as well. Well, some players I know already quit, so I don't necessarily call that "bullshit". That's not what you're telling people, and yet that's how you make it seem. Like the other one said, it's useless to tell people to grow up, especially when they have the right to protect what they are paying for. Leave them alone. You're acting like you've seen them actually "sue" SE yet.. Damn dude.
