22.7gb update after relogging?

[EytanElias]

I am under the impression that this is on the top of SE's to-do list, but they are trying to sweep it under the rug. They don't want all PS4 players to know this could happen to them, because at some point this will affect every PS4 user. Everyone's power will go out, or system will freeze eventually. If everyone knew this could happen to them, SE would be losing even more money. This is at least what I would like to believe is going on. That they are working very hard to rectify the issue and just being quiet about it.

Silence just causes people to take to other media thou.. and like some said here.. its incredible how the Guy at Reddit is much more active and does proper customer service.. meanwhile the OF gets one response followed by a week of silence -.-

Just had this happen to me. Left my PS4 in rest mode overnight so my controller would charge. Power surged in the middle of the night. Come home from work ready to hit level 70 (Only 100k away) and find out I have to wait 3-5 hours for it to reinstall the entire game. This is pretty unacceptable.

This just happened to my wife's account on PS4.

There was NO Power Surge since last night. Nothing happened at all, she just went to log on, and it prompted her to download the 22.7GB update.

Tried to rebuild the database, and it did nothing to fix the issue.

It is insane how this can RANDOMLY happen, WITHOUT a power surge! Some of us don't exactly have great Internet, and it's going to take almost 10 hours to download the dang thing!

me too now -.- got a random black out wich i never had in my city and boom: 23GB patch =___= not funny.. how to fix this....? 800-900mins download time =____=

my ps4 didnt even black out lol it just shuts down after 1 hour because power saving settings and i have a 22 gb download are you serious rofl

My PS4 Pro overheated last night so I couldn't shut it down properly. So I had to force power it down and, after the system check finished, I logged onto the game and it forced me to download the 22GB patch again.

I'm having the same problem. My neighborhood unfortunately has a lot of power outages. This issue has made me re download the whole game three times since launch. Here's to hoping that this is fixed asap.

After 5 days, I was finally able to finish the 22.7gb DL.
After talking with members of my FC, and having one encounter this bug, very few players on PS4 knows about this problem. I'm not going to accost SE on this, I do understand, they don't want to start a panic. There is no good way to break this news.
My suggestions:
Post in Lodestone: PS4 players please use caution in shutting down or unplugging unit while FFXIV is active because: (explain error). Square-Enix is working diligently with Sony to repair this problem.
Problem relayed.
People will come up with their own solutions, but they need to know the problem is there.

Technically 2 responses. But that still doesn't excuse the silence on the Lodestone. There's no panic to be had if you tell people about the situation. Hiding it from them or lack of response is really a problem. If anything it encourages user to go get a backup surge protector in case the power does go out when they are around. I've seen users be particularly nasty about this issue to other people having the problem. It's too late if someone's power goes out. However, it's not too late to warn users in the meantime to take measures via Lodestone announcement.

There's really no excuse not to post it. Saying it's a PS4 only problem - so it shouldn't be posted doesn't cut it since the other PS4 problem was posted and resolved. PSN issues have been posted in the past, why not this error?
