22.7gb update after relogging?

[StormIsBrewing]

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.

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 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.

this needs to be fixed I have pretty fast internet and it downloads it in about 2 hours but we have had power outages now 4 times in 2 days and I have downloaded the game 4 times ... I don't get a load of time to play as it is so this is very annoying ...

Has happened to me twice. It would be really nice if ps4 wouldn't throttle my download speeds. I have fiber optic internet and it still takes forever because I can only use a fraction of that speed.

Add me to the list of casualties, though this is actually the third time it's happened to me. I hate forums and normally would never post to one, but this is getting out of hand. Though I take a little solace in knowing that I am not alone in this, this thread proves that this issue cannot be ignored, as several others seem to be in worse places than myself with download times and the like. Though, given how people on here can't seem to decide whether to blame SE or Sony for what is clearly some sort of incompatibilty issue between the products of the two, I doubt too many posts here have done much more than to alert SE of this issue and give them a number for estimation and record keeping, my own included. That said, these posts have shed some insight on this we as players can do to potentially circumvent this, for which I am thankful.

This was happening to me too, where I live theres a lot of power outages.

I know this isnt the solution because its a problem either SE or Sony has to solve, but I advice you guys to get an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and connect your PS4 to it, so it doesnt suffer further on from power outages.

Following up -

We just had our second brown out, but it looks like the UPS did it's job. The power dropped for only about a second, but it was enough to kick off our router. What I did was immediately log out - it threw a connection error a few times b/c lmao there's no internet to connect to the server - then once backed out of the log in, closed the application and shut down my PS4. Rebooted with thankfully no issue.

So seconding AxecOrtz- if your main concern in regards to this happening is power outages, I would recommend getting a UPS if it's viable. Definitely not a solution, but it might prevent the issue in some situations (though according to others in this thread, not all).

SE I'm a player of 4 years since B.Ver beta.. Seriously fix this problem my girlfriend and I had a power outage and we both have to download a combined approx 45Gig.. This is such a waste of download for a problem that should have been solved a month ago.. You cant point the fingers at Sony ether this problem never accrued before the expansion came to be and I do not see Sony's name at all on your launcher, its your problem and you gotta fix it before people start thinking about jumping ship.. I ain't one of those players but if you don't fix this problem people will.

Happened to me today....22gb...i feel u all

I just had a power outage in the middle of a dungeon after waiting 30+ minutes in the queue...and sure enough, I have to redownload all of the patch data, 22.75 GB. Fortunately I have a fast connection, but it's still taking 1-2 hours. And my power has been cut 3 times in the last month. I have no idea why, it's completely random and always at different times, for no apparent weather-related reasons. Please fix, SE.
