Changelog in the OP. Personal Views on D2010.11.25.0002 Show Content Spoiler Quote:Click To Embiggen, and for Lossless Version The UI updates not only makes the critical step towards moving Final Fantasy XIV away from feeling like an emulated console title, but also helps critically reduce the amount of time spent in menus. What used to take literally four to seven minutes in gear swaps and unequipped, is now literally 15 seconds. UI lag is most definitely down, though some wait is still noticeable in high traffic areas. This is probably because there is a significant reduction in server-authenticated actions. Custom chat tabs are now available, though only two will be able to be "typed in", which are the two set on the first bar (IE: "General", and my re-designed "Whisper" tab). So, the second set will have to be used entirely for logging things. This makes stuff much better in the long run though, making it easier to sort out chats with vital combat information. The SP and XP bars at the bottom make for a much-needed method to track progression without having to always go to the menu. This is most useful during Synthesis and Gathering (such as fishing). As far as the changes to magic, this has made my (what feels like) neglected Thaumaturge discipline feel like something I can use. Spells are potent, they actually hit and while still have a chance to resist aren't prone to it. Combat feels much more fair in that respect than it used to be. Thaumaturge characters were at best used for spam-healing and Punishing Barb "Lalabombs". It seems they've done a bit of optimization too. Performance on my machine using the old "max" quality for rendering has gone up while giving those with even stronger CPU and GPUs than mine a chance to really kick in environment lighting up another notch. It sure does look pretty. Only complaint is that with the XP/SP bar at the bottom, I'd REALLY like to see a "borderless windowed" mode, or at least the ability to alt-tab without crashing.

If your FFXIV config utility is crashing, you will need to enable windows fonts, select any one (Arial may be the first on the list). Hit okay to save it, go back and disable the windows font again. This problem is caused by the new Windows Font option not having a font selected even if it is disabled.

Thankfully, it seems to be going faster than any update I have ever seen. Whatever SE did to fix their servers, it worked. Thanks again for hosting these patches anyway Freyar. They have saved me a lot of time in the past with updates. If you have a story for the paper, feel free to send me a message on the forums...

They have saved me a lot of time in the past with updates. I probably didn't preserve the file structure properly. The actual patch is in there, I have a suspicion it's just one folder up.

Changelog on OP. The file structure for Patch D2010.11.25.0002 has been fixed. It should be able to be extracted like normal. Those that have already had it downloaded should find the patch itself in ..\Final Fantasy XIV\downloads\ffxiv\48eca647\ Copy D2010.11.25.0002.patch to the proper folder and it should be good to go.
