22.7gb update after relogging?

[RyuDSwift]

So my downloads usually take a month for fresh install, losing connection and crappy dsl infrastructure and all that.
Tried to get SE to extend my Subscription because it will literally take a month to download. around under a gig on average per day.
Not that the internet is slow, just that it's not doing what it's supposed to. ike when it downloads 2 gigs and loses connection, it doesnt pick up from where it left off.

Long story to another long story... This is a new ps4 slim, bought the 30 subs for downloading only and had countless issues for the 1st week, so around 15gig downloaded but still stuck on full patch downloading.
Had a chat with the support, no joy. Took the console to my brother since its better speeds and then not close and basically spent the weekend there. Game was done literally over night.

Played most the time I was there, since I want to enter the world of Ishgard, like 3 missions away... packed up to come home as I would normally do once every 2 months spent there.

F$%# me I have to download it again. Patch H2017.06.06.0000.0001a
Find the thread and at least I'm glad I'm not the only one but we have basically been screwed over. Well I certainly feel I have been.
I've had endless troubles with the PC version years ago, that I stopped playing. Then I decided to try it out on Ps4 and OMG, the sH!T doesn't end.

I had a dream that I would just be playing this game in peace, with no worry and full of joy. It seems that even that has become just that, a dream.

I can't do a backup of the game, since I have a smaller HDD than my ps4 I could maybe use but this seems like it's waaaaay to much effort. I'm really considering my life is worth waiting and wasting on such stupid mistakes that cannot be reimbursed.

I take this to be like a big EFF you from SE to us.

-Yeah I'm pissed the F#$% off koz since the last time I played was in january only to get a new console since then and now there's more F$#%ing problems.

My thoughts exactly. I'll be staying at my uncle's house for the entire summer, that's why I took my PS4 Pro with me. And I've been literally dreaming about the expansion for a really long while, thinking that the only thing I would do during the summer is play this fantastic game, which I stopped playing like a year ago, since I figured it would not be worth the subscription fee anymore. But then they announced the expansion, I bought the complete edition for my PS4 (former PC player here). And here we go. I received the game safe and sound though there's no possible way for me to get started. I spent 2 full days trying to download it with a non-stable 5 mbps connection. It threw me errors each time at around the first 1.5-2 gigs, can't really remember the exact numbers now. Not to mention I had to take my PS4 to a friend who lives nearby on his day-off to be able to download the game. And when I finally manage to get everything working, I see this topic. Now I can't even turn on my PS4 since I know a blackout is likely to happen everyday in this region and also I won't be able to make a visit to my friend's house anymore.

You know what, it has already been 10 long days without me powering on my PS4, hence not being able to play the game, and my subscription is being wasted on this nonsense.

Please don't get me wrong, as my intentions are only to point out that I am only one person among many, suffering from this inevitable fate. I understand and respect the work you are putting into this game. But please stop taking this lightly and give us some detailed information about the steps being taken about the issue.

And lastly, I believe you should know better but, we'll be needing a compensation for our lost days of subscription.

Sorry if this was a little harsh. But it was necessary.

Some of y'all seriously should chill out. Acting like this is the end of the world even going so far saying you're done playing. Highly unlikely you will quit, but keep trashing it.

I totally agree with you putting all the blame on SONY while they acting all innocent is just ridiculous ,a game must adjust to a console not the other way around and I think SONY is just tired of releasing system update to fix this stupid game.

Yup, not buying the "it's Sony's problem" angle at all. Unless you want to tell me that a bunch of Sony devs implemented, coded, and created the launcher for SE's own game. Whatever bug that's in the launcher probably existed before anyone from Sony even got their hands on the executable. And this problem did not exist before, does not exist for other games (give me verifiable proof that other games right now have a similar issue), and there's no Sony PS4 update that can explain the bug either. This problem existed for a week before the most recent PS4 system update and the system update before that one was weeks before SB early access even started. Brownouts happened during that period and we did not have this issue then, so it can't be that update either.

I think it's a pretty measured response mostly. Some people hate having to wait hours, maybe even days depending on internet connection and power stability, for literally no reason at all. If that download took more than 12 hours for me, I'd probably not have resubbed this month myself. I'm luckily in a pretty decent area and have a decent connection so it's only a couple of hours. But still, it's garbage that this is happening. Even with an APC (that I obtained literally due to just this bug) I get nervous whenever it's really hot outside or if there's a storm in the area, knowing that 1 second of power failure could mean hours of re-downloading useless data.

Keep in mind this is an international issue and people may have data plans that will not work with this continued problem going on over 2 weeks now.
