Unable to Download Launcher

[Phaetal]

Don't worry it gets worse. I swapped my router and FINALLY got through the 1035mb patch download only to get ANOTHER failure during updating. No worries you say, atleast the download is done, nope it starts alllll over. /sigh

I was in beta 1, 2, 3, and 4. This problem started for me right after the end of phase 3. There were a ton of posts on the beta forum but no solutions yet. Still no response and it is frustrating to not have a response yet. Tried everything mentioned in this post with no success. My ISP is Time Warner Cable.

Same here :/ By way of a bit of an update... I said I was getting a new router. I setup the new and... same issue. So it's not the router. Please help devs!

Thanks. It sucks that we have to resort to this, but at least the community is on top of it.

I was able to download the new installer and install the Entry page and download the new game files AND the update fine.

Just started renaming the exe files and eventually it worked. I did not mess with av or firewall ports. Does seem like the deadline snuck pun se, nothing seems error free. Game works well so far, hope 21 and above work...

Which files did you rename? And what did you rename them to? Thanks!

Well I setup the torrent against my phase 4 folder, and it put it at around 65% (as in files already existing). Thanks, here's hoping to no issues. It's like we had the exact same thread during phase 4.

This is what worked for ME (did the stars align and servers worked after ten times without doing this? Could be.) [I tried it in with my friend's computer as well, same thing]
Go to Program Files (x86) > SquareEnix > FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
Right click on the boot folder and uncheck Read-only > Apply > Apply to folder, subfolder and files
Do the same thing to the game folder
Try to update again.

Hope it helps
