22.7gb update after relogging?

[DuranAaron5]

I hope they aren't neglecting the console users. This is my 3rd time for the 3rd day redownloading this 22.7mb. And I haven't seen anything from SE trying to resolve this issue.

Yep, this has been happening to me too. 2nd straight day of downloading this ffxiv - H2017.06.06.0000.0001b patch which is 22.7 GB.

Now, I will say that the last 2 days I've had 2 brownouts lasting 1 second each time. It's hot outside after all. I expect the occasional brownout, but I certainly don't expect this nonsense with the patch downloads. Anyways, my PS4 was on and logged in the first time it happened. But today my PS4 was in rest mode. Judging from other comments, correlation is not causation since it has happened to people just closing the application or logging off?

Anyways, those are my experiences. After this crap downloads - again - I think I'll test it out by first logging off and logging back on to see if the download triggers again. Then I'll fully close the application and observe. Then I'll do a rest mode and observe and then I'll completely shut off the PS4 and then see if I get the same issue.

Why is Square silent on this as it seems to be affecting a non insignificant amount of people? This is FAR FAR FAR more frustrating than the server congestion and MSQ instance overloading everyone is getting. This is "I entirely quit my sub" territory until I get a concrete answer and solution to this bug. I'm wasting bandwidth on this crap that, as far as I know, isn't doing a thing as my total space on the HDD isn't changing for the FFXIV installation as before. More to that, I'm not in the game proper. At least with the instances congestion you can still do other stuff. Here I'm wasting time and bandwidth staring at a useless download

I've been having this issue for the third day in a row now, it makes me constantly paranoid to do anything because I'm afraid if the game logs out or loses power that I will have to redownload again, and I simply don't have the internet for it. I didn't lose power last night and that restarted it, however it originated for me the night before without any power outage that I no of. Please if anyone in Square is reading this we need help.

[DuranAaron5]

Yes I very much agree with this, whenever SE posts stuff about congestions like "hello, there's people here who can't even play the game because they are too busy downloading it over and over and over". I hope I am wrong, and that SE is coming with a solution, because if I have to download this damn thing For the 5th time after this (5 hours left), I'm gonna go insane. Don't screw around SE, because for the good people here that paid to preorder your game specifically for early access, that they can't even play.

Same issue here, 22GB download after power went off,
I really hope we get some word on this, or some kind of fix really soon, because this has rendered the early access useless to us, what a waste of money pre ordering..

[DuranAaron5]

Has anyone gotten any answer from square Enix about the launcher problem? This glitch is no fucking joke, this is my 3rd time redownloading this thing. Square Enix must think I have a hella fast internet, but I've spent so far my time in early access playing a download simulator.

It's a patch-launcher recognition error. It's a simple fix in theory, but not so implementing it. Just keep reporting issues, with more than just complains.

Knowing it's a PS4 issue is great, as is losing power seems to be an issue.

[RLofOBFL]

I really wish they'd fix this. I am gonna have to never turn off my PS4 or stop playing FFXIV now to avoid this and that doesn't account for power outages.

Same problem here, 22.7GB Update after a power outage, yesterday I was about to finish went the power went off again, and again, 22.7GB SQUARE please give us information in the issue, this is upsetting.
