22.7gb update after relogging?

[Layla-hime]

Nope, I tried that after the 2nd time it happened to me. It doesn't work

For some reason, I don't believe any files are being corrupted from power outages. It wouldn't surprise me if the file check performed after the "PlayStation 4 was improperly shut down" doesn't detect the data written by the new XIV launcher/downloader. Something like the files not being distinctly marked in PS4 OS's file system.

This is the 2nd time this has happened to me on ps4

Weather related power outage happened today for me, now I'm having to download the whole game again. (PS4)

[Cid__]

Just happened again, third time. Not in the mood of downloading again this time, and i've just unsubscribed. Let's see how long it takes SE to fix it, if ever.

My kitten turned off my surge protector while I was playing and when I got back on its shows that I have to download the patch again. It took me almost 5 days download it last time.

[Zomkei]

Still not fix I see. Again I have to re-download. I get a power outage at least once a week, and this wasn't an issue before Stormblood...

[JahD]

Im mad because all this you need fix this and refund

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.

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.

I cannot believe this still hasn't been fixed. I was just checking in to see if it was safe to use sleep mode on my ps4 yet, apparently not. After a clean install I took it upon myself to get a UPS so I can play without anxiety :/ I know a lot of people feel like they shouldn't have to do that (and we shouldn't), but I would rather improve my situation myself and enjoy the game rather than waiting on these jerks to fix it. As long as it's taking, I think I made the right choice.

This is just horrible on SE's part.
