22.7gb update after relogging?

[Ninja_Kevin24]

I am having the exact same problem! Except with mine, I went over to a friend's house yesterday to download on their wifi since mine will take upwards of 700 minutes, and it seems fine, it even let me play the game over there, but when I took the ps4 home, the game acted as though I had never downloaded anything and is giving me the same patch everyone else, and I'm afraid this will only continue. Please help, this is absolutely infuriating.

We've been having frequent, random power outages over the last few days where I live and I fear it's only making the problem worse. I've not download the entire 22.7 gbs FOUR times and everytime lost everything. So far no one has been able to figure out a solution for us console players.

Problem still persists. Logged in fine this morning without issues. Logged back in now to 700 minute 22.7gb download.

This a major issue because it keeps emerging, breaks the ability to play the game for a lot of people, and makes early access completely unplayable for the people who payed pre-order to get it. I love this game so I'm really frustrated over this entire situation, and the lack of support we are able to get so far.

I really just want a dev or someone in the team to just say we are working on it at the moment or whatever, anything. Geez, it's like they are more worried about fixing the glitch people are having while fighting their new dummy, than helping us solve this rather terrifying and frustrating launcher bug that they have for their PS4 version. This ain't a small issue Square! Power outages actually happen to a lot of us!

I am in the same boat as well. I had like a 10 second power outage and I go to log in and boom I am downloading a 22gb file!! This is a bit rediculous!!i hope that SE gets on top of this problem and fixes it quick fast and in a hurry!!! Definitely gonna be a lot of gifts for this muck up!!!

Don't hold your back, been happening to me since the first day of early access, still haven't seen one single response or solution from SE, which is very dissastifying.

I have also been having this issue since the very first morning of early access, all I want are some answers or to know SE is trying to address it.

Same thing happened to me and my cousin. It happened to me yesterday after a power outage. When I tried to login I found out the game was downloading the entire game again: 22.7gb. The worst thing is that my internet speed is just 5mb and I've been downloading it ever since. I can't even turn off my PS4 because the already downloaded files won't be saved and I'd need to re-download them again, believe me, I've tried it. And I can't put my PS4 on rest mode for obvious reasons. I can't play anything else either.

The case with my cousin, he turned off his PS4 after a session of playing time and when he tried to login again, BAM! 22.7gb requiered. I even cancelled my sub because I don't have a clue when I'll be able to play again.

Hasn't happened to me during stormblood ( yet ), but this is definitely not a new issue. I've been affected by the same glitch a few months back and I know others have been getting it long before that. Its by far the worst issue I've personally come across in this game, and I wasn't even hit with a power outage. I got it from simply logging out normally and turning off my PS4. I still don't know what caused it or how to avoid it.

I can handle the other issues, such as DC'ing, congestion, and latency. I even expect that and can be patient with it. What I can't handle is having to re-download the entire game for 14-24 hours straight each time the launcher decides to have a hiccup.

Just seeing this issue escalating with the stormblood release is really making me paranoid to turn on my PS4 and log in tbh.
