Alternative way to update client... (error [11006][20641][20643])

[WiiSam]

any updates on fixing this without having the to download the 9gig game over?

[Jezebell]

I'm having this same error..

[tyrokai]

Me too, frustrating. Would rather not have to redownload the entire game from elsewhere...

I had this error before, makes sure your SquareEnix folder and My game folder is not on "read-only".
So your patches are able to install

SE is a noob.

I see a lot of people who post these issues still have their beta versions installed.

Uninstall it and download the proper version. Might just actually get you somewhere...

The messaging is wrong. I had this error kick back at me this morning, still said (Beta Version), and I've been playing this entire time, from beta4-now.

On PC, Right Click Shortcut -> Run as Admin worked for me, but YMMV.

No known fix for PS3 besides "try it a thousand times and hope to get lucky." Been fighting that error on my PS3 since Beta4.

Yet, SE still told people to uninstall the beta client to prevent issues with the retail version.

It doesn't only relate to the PC platform but the consoles as well... It depends on the install software and how it unpacks and installs the files etc.

Common sense says, uninstall any beta EVEN on the consoles, before installing the retail version to avoid any issues/crashes between the codes from the beta and the retail version...

Also, setting your game to run under admin rights doesn't guarantee it'll work for everyone...

Like I said, I got that error after having been able to play for over a week -- I don't have the beta installed on my PC anymore. It's a typo in the error messaging, at this point.

I also said that Run as Admin for for /me/ but, your mileage may vary. Which means, no, it doesn't guarantee it'll work for everyone.

Either way, SE needs to have some sort of better knowledgebase for these errors -- not even their support staff knows WTF these mean.
