    Shall I download all the patches or just the lastest one?

  2. sOliver Author at 9:57 pm

    luoej, look into this folder:
    C:\Users\[yourusername]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\patch

    This is the folder where the patches are stored. You will exactly know which patch you still have to download. You will need all patches in order to start the game.

    Hope this helps, Oliver

  3. luoej at 10:26 pm

    Thanks for help!I just got the key,but I’m still downloading the client…

  4. Azurist at 12:35 pm

    I’ve downloaded all the patches and put them all into
    C:\Users\[yourusername]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\patch
    but the H2010.08.30.2000.patch that i can only download from the client,
    takes to much time.
    I started to update this patch since yesterday and now its 16.6%
    ands it’s stucked. after 2 hours it’s still 16.6 %
    is that normal? Can’t u just upload this patch please, because it’s not working. pls help

  6. Azurist at 1:45 pm

    wich one is H2010…
    do I still have to download them all?

  7. sOliver Author at 2:06 pm

    download all the hotfile files via Jdownloader.. it’s a 4.5GB large game client, so it will take a while. And yes, you will need all if you don’t want to download the client via the beta launcher.

  8. Tears at 5:11 pm

    i dont think jdownloader is workin for me
    it always says “Reconnection failed”
    anybody know how to solve this?

  9. sOliver Author at 6:35 pm

    Tears, first of try to restart the system. Then if you still get the error press F5 to open the error log. Still can’t find the error? Make sure that you added the premium account correctly (if you are using one). Possibly a firewall is or your router is blocking something that is causing the reconnect to fail.

    I can upload the patches and client somewhere else if necessary, but this might take some time. Let me know.

  10. DuHm at 8:05 pm

    Any chance on the new patch soon i cant download it, it wont go past %99.9

  11. sOliver Author at 3:07 am

  12. sOliver Author at 9:15 pm

    The new FF14 patch has been added: D2010.09.05.2000.patch

    As usual, copy it to C:\Users\[yourusername]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\patch, then start your ffxivboot.exe

  13. Rob at 12:02 am

  14. sOliver Author at 12:10 am

    did you download the actual client?

    The patch H2010.08.30.2000 basically includes:

    D2010.08.10.2001.patch 4.78mb
    D2010.08.12.2000.patch 5.97mb
    D2010.08.13.2000.patch 5.99mb

    D2010.08.30.2000.patch 1,29 gig
    D2010.08.30.2000.patch 3,73 gig

    So, the full game client also includes your file d2010.08.21.2000 .. please verify that you have downloaded the client

  15. Rob at 12:25 am

    Yup

    After leaving it stuck for a while it has now moved to

    Downloading Version Update Files Please Wait

    File: d2010.09.01.2001 [4/9] Time remaining 0:01:37
    99.4%

    all connection staus below are 0.0bs and it jsut stay here.

    Like i said downloaded the client, and all the patches and put them in the this folder

    C:\Users\NAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\patch

  16. sOliver Author at 12:26 am

    IMPORTANT: The patch D2010.09.05.2000 has been updated. It is now a zip file with two folders bca2a8ae and d96437e6. Copy them into the correct folders in C:\Users\[yourusername]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\

  17. Rob at 12:34 am

    still same problem even after downloading the updated patch file

  18. sOliver Author at 12:38 am

    Rob, please try to download the patch d2010.09.01.2001 again. Make sure that *all* of the patches above are in the correct folder and keep in mind that the new updated patch has files that have to be stored in the folder bca2a8ae.

    Anyway, I will be reupload the patch d2010.09.01.2001 and you can redownload it in 5 minutes.

  19. sOliver Author at 12:42 am

    The *updated* patch D2010.09.01.2001.patch is up. I noticed that it is slightly larger now. I hope this will work for you.

  20. james at 4:46 am

    im getting the error right when H2010.08.30.2000.patch gets to 99%, then it says runtime error etc. i have all my firewalls exceptioned and such, so what can i do

  21. james at 5:56 am

    i get final fantasy error 20619, 19901, 13, right at 99% of the h2 update

  22. Travis at 7:07 am

    Hey James I was getting the same problem, try deleting
    H2010.08.30.2000.patch and downloading it through the client.

  23. sOliver Author at 8:20 am

    H2010.08.30.2000.patch is 4.5GB large. Do you really suggest downloading it through the client? This won’t work and would take days.

    I suggest that you should delete the file, but then download it from another source, e.g. download the client from hotfile (see links that I posted)

  24. Kyle at 6:50 pm

    So, I’ve downloaded all of the patches, including the H2010.08.30.2000 and have all of them in the C:\Users\NAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\patch but now when I try load it up, its still trying to download the H2010.08.30.2000 file and even says [1/2] beside it… Any ideas why its not reading that it is already downloaded?

  25. sOliver Author at 11:18 pm

    New patches for Final Fantasy XIV:
    D2010.09.05.2001.patch (goes into bca2a8ae)
    D2010.09.06.2000.patch (92KB)

    If you’re still having problems with H2010.08.30.2000, please delete it and try to add it again.

  26. Hourai Doll at 6:33 pm

    I’m assuming D2010.09.06.2000 goes into d96437e6/patch folder

  27. Paper at 7:42 pm

    The last two patch links here aren’t working for me. Is anyone else having this problem? I get a 404 message.

    Also, I’ll try hotfile for 8/30. Thanks. I got the others that I could get here, but I’ve been stuck on 1/2 of 8/30 for a really long time.

  28. sOliver Author at 8:35 pm

    Thanks for the 404 report. File downloads are fixed and are now working.

  29. sOliver Author at 9:00 pm

    Patch D2010.09.07.2001.patch (goes into d96437e6) has been added.

  30. Legin at 12:43 am

    Newest patch worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch!

  31. Jamie at 4:31 pm

    Was wondering if someone can help me. I downloaded the client and installed it, then I downloaded the patches, but when I go to the ffxiv-beta folder, the only thing in there is bca2a8ae folder. There is no d96437e6 folder. Do I make one? or do I put all the patches in the bca2a8ae folder? Im so confused. :(

    Also, when I start the client, it gets stuck at Initializing Network.. I tried turning off my virus/firewall and booting it as administrator and nata. Please help

  32. sOliver Author at 9:33 pm

    Forward the following ports in your router software and you will be able to download the latest patches through the update program:

    55296 – 55551
    UDP and TCP

    More problems solved in this guide:
    Fix Final Fantasy XIV has stopped working

    New updates will be posted shortly.

  33. Cerinade at 2:42 am

    Not sure if you’re aware, but there is another patch today, D2010.09.08.2000 and D2010.09.09.2000, tho I managed to download at over 200 kbs, just thought I’d let you know incase anyone else had a problem with it.

  34. sOliver Author at 7:38 am

    Thanks for the update Cerinade. Patches D2010.09.08.2000 and D2010.09.09.2000 have been added.

  35. Mike at 12:05 pm

    The H2010.08.30.2000.patch is stuck for me. I torrented it after I downloaded the ff14 client, after reloading it and it downloading the version update with this patch title, it gets to 99.5% very quickly (because i already have the files in the correct patch folder) then just stops….. once in awhile the downloader shoots up its DL speed, but the % does not move and it falls back to 0.0% . Anyone know whats wrong here?

  36. J at 1:52 pm

    The installer sticks at 99.8% on patch D2010.09.09.2000 for me (with, of course, 0 upload and 0 download rate, and no connections).

  37. sOliver Author at 1:57 pm

    Once again if you can’t download the patches via the installer, you will have to forward your ports:
    55296 – 55551
    UDP and TCP

    Other than that you can download all patches above.

    Also, open the following folders:

    C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\d96437e6\metainfo

    C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\bca2a8ae\metainfo

    They will contain .torrent files which you can download with a program like uTorrent.

  38. J at 2:01 pm

    I’d just like to make note that I downloaded the D2010.09.09.2000 patch file elsewhere, and can confirm that the file in the link above is not the full patch file; The D2010.09.09.2000 patch file is 5,949 kB, whereas the download link above is only 5,926 kB.

  39. sOliver Author at 3:19 pm

    Thanks for the heads up J. I fixed the file!

    Btw, you can also download the patches via torrent, so you don’t have to look anywhere else, it’s right on your computer in metainfo. Might be faster for you.

  40. Sigsurd at 3:59 pm

    There’s a new patch: D2010.09.09.2000. Just wondering if you were still planning on putting it up because i’d very much appreciate it! Thanks!

  42. sOliver Author at 11:58 pm

    Latest patches are online, but the update server is a lot more responsive now.. so downloading it shouldn’t be a problem any longer.

  43. luis at 12:34 am

    I just installed my CE of FF14 and it is showing only 1 update needing to be downloaded and installed. But it just stays @ .2% progress and then times out. Any solutionsor patches?

  44. chris at 2:10 pm

    Hey i have the retail versoin of the game and not the beta. The only folder i have is labeled 2d2a390f. Do i just download these updates and put them into the update folder? Open the FF14 folder and it will automatically install them? Im having issues downloading the files on the client. I knwo about the torrent file needing update aswell however that wil be a task to be done later i guess. Please help me out as im looking forward to playign this game but am getting angry with the update software. Thanks

  45. Stephen at 6:11 pm

    Would someone please post the update for CE FFXIV please, I am currently deployed and the ISP we have over here blocks all P2P traffic. so right now i can’t even play this game. SE you fail again.

  46. sOliver Author at 8:07 pm

    Ok guys, I uploaded and posted all the new patches. Thew new patches have to be copied into another folder:

    *48eca647 = copy into C:\Users\NAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\48eca647\patch
    *2d2a390f = copy into C:\Users\NAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Version\downloads\ffxiv-beta\2d2a390f\patch

    I hope this will help some of you! Keep rocking

    Edit: Could someone who owns a copy of the game post what patches are required for the retail game? I suppose they included all the patches of the beta.. so you don’t have to download all patches if you bought the game!

  47. chris at 5:27 am

    Hi, as for the patches to DL for retail game. I had to DL file D2010.09.18.0000.patch and place it in patch folder under folder labeled 2d2a390f. I opened the updater and it took now it wants a file named D2010.09.19.0000.patch. After i installed the 9.18 patch Folder: 48eca647 appeared. I was told that 9.19 goes into the patch folder in the new folder but i will see once it is DL.

  48. Stephen at 9:08 am

    thank you for posting so fast, is it possible for you to also post the following .exe files, some reason these were not installed

    ffxivlogin.exe
    ffxivgame.exe

    both are in “C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV\” folder

  49. Dane at 2:41 am

    Hey, does anyone know a good site to get the
    D2010.09.19.0000.patch?

    FFXIV wants that patch, and that is the one taking most time to download. Just wondering if anyone has a good site…

  50. sOliver Author at 5:01 am

    Dane, I posted the link to D2010.09.19.0000.patch (48eca647*) .. you can download it via rapidshare

  51. dan at 7:21 am

    i have the collecter editon i am currently deployed int iraq and our internet does not allow P2P at all so i downloaded the patches from here the first 1 it was trying to download was the d2010.18.0000 patch. so i downloaded it and tried to place in the patch folder well it was alrdy there so i replaced the old with the new but it didnt take im a missing something any help would be great

  52. Stephen at 10:17 pm

    i’m in the same boat, best i can get to right now is able to log in and hit the play button, see the Square Enix splash then the screen goes black, still get the hand pointer… not sure what i need to do. I was able to get to that point by downloading all the patches and putting them in the correct folder, next i had a friend send me her ffxivlogin.exe and ffxivgame.exe, next i opened boot.ver and game.ver with notepad and changed the version number to the latest version ie 2010.09.28.0000 wish i could play

  53. chris at 11:47 am

    can anyone point me where i can download D2010.10.07.0001 patch? I hate the updater. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

  54. sOliver Author at 8:19 pm

    chris, uploaded the D2010.10.07.0001.patch for you.

    @Stephen, I don’t think that you can use the ffxivlogin.exe and ffxivgame.exe from a friend, because they might be updated from time to time.

    If anyone has problems with the patches, please try to download via torrent and try again.

  55. Stephen at 9:24 pm

    can’t use torrents or P2P style while deployed, this updater sucks. Even Blizzard figured this out and added the option to turn off P2P updating… wish SE would read alot of these forums and see that their updater fails. Looks like i will have to wait til Dec to be able to play… what a waste of money

  56. Stephen at 9:30 pm

    is there a way i can force the updater to install the updates?

  57. sOliver Author at 9:50 pm

    Yes, there is. Simply copy the patches into the correct folder as described above.

    If you need help let me know. Did you find the folders? If there is an update that you need I can upload it.

    Let me know.

  58. chris at 1:06 pm

    hey this update 2010.10.07.0001 isnt working… can you please check file? if not please reupload. THanks

  59. sOliver Author at 10:44 pm

    chris, I checked the update and downloaded it from another source but it’s exactly the same size. Maybe there’s another problem?

  61. Christian VII at 4:17 am

    hi oliver i just bought the game pack for $56 the installation took only about 8 minutes but the download for versions/patches TURNED MY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN! im like WTH? is there any way faster for me to get the patches? and where should i (if ever i have to download the patches from your links) put them in the two folders? namely: 2d2a390f and the other one is 48eca647 once i open these folders they both contain 2 file folders and a DAT file the 2 file folders are “metainfo” and “Patches” while the DAT file is called vercheck.DAT

    Further, do i have to download all the patches posted on the top of this page? and if so in what folder (the 2 ive previously stated) thank you!!

  62. sOliver Author at 1:51 am

    Christian if you bought the game you probably dont need any of the files. Unfortunately we cant host any of the new patches for you because that is not allowed as far as I know..
