Stuck? Link to fix it.

[Gavin]

Am I doing something wrong or is it SE collapsing on itself again? About an hour or so ago I got booted from the game, and then the updater came up.

 

So in the first few minutes I get all the way to 94.8% and about an our later it hasn't budged.

 

Is there anything I can do to make this work? :frustrated:

 

TO FIX IT GO HERE:

PURPLE SECTION

I'm stuck at 94.8% even after downloading the patch through the torrent.

[Koti Nexus]

Oh the joys of being stuck!

[Gerick]

53 Remote connections and 7 local connections without any uploading or downloading hehe.

[Asyria]

It simply wouldn't start at all for me, I went to do something else, when I came back, it was all done.

Except the lounge server isn't responding.

 

so.. patience and prayers, I guess.

[Koti Nexus]

Come on you 40 local connections! Kick it!

[Gavin]

Ok boys and girls. If you are stuck, its not you its something else.

 

Here is a link to the update:

http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/12719-op ... tructions

 

Go to the purple section for the 9/4 patch and down a bit more is a purple section telling you where to put it

 

I closed the updater, moved what i had TRIED to download into a bogus folder (in case this didn't work) and then just download the file.

 

100% in seconds. Updated.

I actually got freed up on its own.

It really is just a game of patience, hehe.

[Rhio]

Worked like a charm. Gavin has the right of it.

So here is an interesting observation, I was one of the people stuck at the 94.8% and the link above worked to get me to 100%. The interesting part is that the file I downloaded from the link and the file that was stuck at 94.8% were the exact same size! Down to the byte, they seem to be identical. Not sure why one worked and the other didn't, but it is letting me log in now. *shrug*

[Rikitiki]

I wonder if getting stuck is just the result of not being connected to anyone who has the missing pieces you need....

Where would I extract this to?

C:/Users//My Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version/downloads/ffxiv-beta/

 

You will see in this folder two others: /bca2a8ae and /d96437e6

Each of these has another inside called /patch

One of your downloaded files goes in /bca2a8ae/patch and the other in /d96437e6/patch

 

Look at the zip or rar file. They are located in their proper respective folders above, just take it from the .rar to your computer.

 

IMPORTANT: Above patch is yesterday's. Today's (Sept. 6) is here: http://www.eorzeacorps.com

The router port forwarding thing worked like MAGIC!

Use a third party BitTorrent client (I use uTorrent [AKA: Microtorrent]). In ../users/name/my documents/my games/FFXIV beta blah/downloads/patch folders/metadata you'll find you already have the .torrent file as is. Just open it in another torrent client and you're good to go. Pop the file into the directory per standard and it should punt you through.

 

The good news is that it means it isn't a network issue, but a technical "stumbling" of the patcher.

*bump*

I've actually started hosting an FTP server holding the patches as I get them.

 

They're all here [link] for people to grab. There's even a RAR holding all of them too.

Thank you! You're such a lifesaver! I was going nuts trying to find a site that didn't have spy ware to download from. Much appreciated

No problem. Part of the frustration stemmed from my very limited upload at work, making P2P methods very undesirable.
