22.7gb update after relogging?

[aedendakota]

Just happened to me. After normal log off. 4th time. Not gonna reinstall. Waste of money and time.

it happened to me again ffs. its not due to power outage or spike, but PSN just logged out. i just wanted to login another psn account and after switch back then surprise mthfkr, another 22gb download waiting and killing my time.

nb. I already have UPS w/ surge protector.

So a friend of mine accidently pulled the plug on my PS4 Pro and I got this update as a result. I can't really seem to find an answer to what to do about it, and I see people are pretty unsure here too. Should i just download it? Or... I am really confused at the moment.

Also gotta ask - does this take actual space on my hard drive? I am asking because I have seen some people downloading this several times, and if it is just 20gig of basically garbage then that is freaking crazy...

People aren't confused about what to do. It's pretty clear you have to suck it up and redownload it. As for your second question? Yes? Having a 20gb game on your HD does take 20gb? Unless you're asking if each time it ADDS 20gb, so 20gb on top of the old 20gb then no.

Ah, okay, seems like a pretty f-ed up fix even if it also is the most straight forward. I have no idea if I should just wait for SE to get a real fix for it because this will take forever to download either way.

And yeah, what I meant to ask was basically if the people who had downloaded it several times were filling up their hard drives with this update over and over. I suppose my confusion also partly comes from the fact that I have no idea what these 20gb actually are, what do they consist of exactly?

They have handed the issue to Sony and they are working on a fix. My theory is that it may not be an issue with FFXIV, but an issue which SB exposed with the PS itself. Not something SE can comment on outside of 'Sony is taking care of it'.

Think of it as: Your entire game got deleted. You now have to redownload the entire game again. So it's everything.

Thanks for the answers, Pence. Really helpful! I guess I just have to get that download going then.

No problem. I'd suggest giving your friend a slap around the head for unplugging your PS4! Play Crash Bandicoot in the meantime.
