Whole game re-download problem return

[Malindachan]

I am also having this issue today. I was playing fine last night. I logged out and powered off the PS4 like I normally do. Turned it back on today after getting home from work, booted up the game, logged in, and then it started to download H2017.06.06.0000.0001c which is 26147.70 MB

Hello.Sadly the problem has just reoccurred again today on date 14/05/2018 at 16:50 PM EST with same previously explained procedures.Currently redownloading all over again for the 4th time in 1 month.It has already happened on 04/04/2018-09/04/2018-03/05/3028 and today 14/05/2018.Only temporary solution I found was keep the game open on launcher and keep PS4 on rest mode as already suggested from another user,but so doing I'm unable use PS4 for any other software as I would need to close FF14 bfr do so. I kept PS4 pm rest mode for most of this month hoping this issue addressed and fixed consuming a certain amount of electricity and most important use any other software as well lost 2 days worth of sub needed to redownload everything for 8-9 total days.Thx to read in hope will get fixed.

Thank you for the update LORD_METATRON.

Due to the rarity of this issue, it's a bit difficult to come up with a solution. I do have a few questions regarding your PS4:

How old is your PS4 and what kind of hard drive do you have in it (stock hard drive, SSD, etc.)? How much space is currently being taken up on the hard drive?

You can try rebuilding your PS4's database. Boot the PS4 in safe mode. When the PS4 is off, press and hold the power button. Release it after you've heard two beeps: one when you first press, and another 7 seconds later. You should see a menu. Here, select 'Rebuild Database' (Make sure not to select 'Initialize') and follow the steps.

I would recommend submitting a bug report if you have not done so already. To submit a bug report, post in the following forum and make sure to use the template outlined in the sticky thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...2-In-Game-Bugs

PS4 is 1.7 years old,currently using an HDD of 500 GB with 137 currently free and an external HDD of 1 TB used for other storages of software used only when using said software but not for FF14 and removed correctly.
I'll try rebuild database. Thank you for your tips and answers.
