22.7gb update after relogging?

[gustavray]

Same thing happened today here. Square Enix said Sony is investigating the issue, but how come FFXIV never had that issue before Stormblood? The way the game updates on ps4 is stupid too, it's the same as PC, and we can't have a backup of an individual game either. I'm done with it now. I had to redownload during maintenance before early access because of that "CE-xxxxx error". Now again because of power outage, and apparently I won't be able to even turn my PS4 off until this is fixed. I'm getting the game on PC now and hope I can get a refund on PS4 if this issue isn't fixed soon.
as if it isn't enough that we're still getting 1500+ player queues on Omega and a couple other servers right now.

i wake up, start to play the game and i am hit with a 22.7gb download, RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT AND USED A 60 DAY TIME CARD!

i get 10gb downloaded after 5 hours and the updater gives me an error code and restarts, i log back in and the full 22.7gb download is back again. i am unable to download the full 22.7gb because the damn launcher keeps crashing randomly.

and of course..Final Fantasy XIV on PS4 does not update LIKE A NORMAL F*CKING GAME, so i have to keep the game running to update (unlike a normal game that just adds the patch file to the downloads list) i am beyond pissed off right now. 60$ for an expansion i cannot play, 30$ for 60 days of game time i will not be able to fully use and now i have to stare at a patch screen for 15 hours, hoping that it does not error (hint, it will)

EDIT: i did not have any power issues, normally i leave the PS4 Pro in stand by mode but last night i decided to turn the thing off completely. The system turned off normally and is working perfectly, the ONLY issue is with FINAL FANTASY XIV which leads me to believe it is YOUR FAULT Square..i want a REFUND OF MY GAME TIME! for YOUR ERROR

EDIT 2:
Patcher just crashed again...Error code: (20512) (25008)
and now the full 22.7gb is back
i cannot download the thing before it crashes!

Change your DNS to google or verizon. It helps

Already had it set to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

Thing is, i should not have to do all these work arounds. i come from an age where THE GAME WORKS....i download it, it installs and works...end of story.

if this is not fixed by tomorrow morning, my bank will be getting a call and a lot of nice charge backs will be coming to Square Enix (Stormblood, server transfer and a 60$ time card ) yea it will probably cause my account to be banned but at this point..i do not care.

Try 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4, and/or 4.2.2.5

If ur download gets an error message do not press ok close the game from outside the launcher re open and it should pick up were it left off

Just right now I got a power outage, so I'm at the same vote as you guys.

You can also cancel and start again to save progress

I had this problem second time again and without loosing any connection or shutting down the ps4 pro not properly , I don't know what is going on i never had this problem with my other games online , I still can see my files about 67GB in my storage ps4 but when i open the launcher it will downloading the patch again from the first step.

Hope everything will b sorted out soon , Because we all work hard in our real life to spend money on the game that we love to play and getting this 22GB download again making us loose days from the days that we paid for and subscribe.

Same thing here! i usually leave the PS4 pro in rest mode but last night i wanted to download some PS3 games so i turned the PS4 pro off using the controller. Nothing went wrong and the thing turned off normally. Next thing i know, i need to keep downloading a 22.7gb patch that like to error out and forget it was downloaded. My FFXIV folder is stuck at 69.09gb, even while downloading this patch, the number does not increase.

My question is why don't they give us access to the file so we can save it and hot patch it when we want to play .....in still only half way downloaded .....14 hours later ......
