Did you have to do a hard reset or anything of the sort? That's not cool if this is now happening without the system restore mode kicking in to trigger it.I've had this issue today.
I'll add that I've *NOT* suffered any sort of power outage. I went to log in on the launcher and the game suffered an error. I closed, reopened the launcher and was hit with the 22gb update.
I'm absolutely fuming. I have limited play time as it is. Pull your finger out and get it sorted SE.
Just got this problem after my power went out today. i'm currently downloading a 22.7 gb patch even though my ps4 clearly shows that i already have stormblood installed. hopefully it doesn't error out. Should i even log out or will i have to do this every time i want to play now?
Apology! Disregard my previous post.
Appear that this problem is not fixed yet. I have yet again hit with "first time set up" and 22.7 GB update...
If you have the files downloaded already, do PS4's system backup for now. This is the only fail-safe way to fix this problem for now...
No, I only closed the game and launched it again. My PS4 was on the entire time. I'm just grateful I have fast internet so it's 'only' an 120 minute wait for me.
Can confirm once the download finished i just got back into the game and everthing seems back to normal.
Was that after the maintenance from yesterday? If so, there's yet another thing you have to watch out for. Once it updates to the new hotties version, it self-closes the application, runs the install, and reopens Stormblood right? Turns out, that action corrupts the data just like a brownout does. What you have to do is push "O" cancel when it tries to self-install the update, close Stormblood, go to notifications, apply update from there. Then it should work.
Yep, first time I'd launched since the maintenanceWas that after the maintenance from yesterday? If so, there's yet another thing you have to watch out for.

This error just happend to me today ,have to download the 22g patch and 15hrs to wait so the maintenace today did not fix anything.
This is happened twice for myself already on the PS4... didn't have the issue in early-access. Now every time the application is closed and I open it again it has to download this ridiculous 22.7GB update...
