Re: FFXIV Installation Info & Issues - Post here please

All of a sudden I'm not able to get in the game with windowed mode. After the S-E splash screen, it's just black.

Played all day yesterday with no issues.

OK figured as much. I'd rather not download an unfinished driver and then suddenly have issues I didn't before. If it fixed the horrible FPS issues the 400 series has with FF11, that'd be a different story.

... should I really bother with this though? It's a beta driver, and right now XIV runs pretty flawlessly for me at 1680x1050 and just 2x AA.

Only for those with problems and/or SLI.

So, I am trying to install from the retail disc but this garbage wants me to put it into my C: drive which i have partitioned off strictly for my OS. Is there anyway to override the default installation area. Or do I really have to wait for a torrent. This is such B.S.

It should ask you where you want to install it when you have the installer running... like any other game.

Please keep all installation questions in one thread otherwise we are going to have dozens of threads with installation questions. If we get helpful answers, the OP can be updated with the information.

Anyone have the site that has torrents for FFXIV update?

Edit: Never mind. My installer is working fine now. Its running at like 40kbps thought atm, but I can handle that.

Re: FFXIV Updater (Release)

Can you link to the torrent files please?

Also, if you do link them, where do I install the files to?

Mine is doing the same thing and not updating.

It says Downloading Version update files, please wait. It also says Local Connections: 1

Its stopped at .8% and not updating. Anyone got any help?

The torrent files are on your computer. Look under My Documents, Games(whatever), FFXIV, downloads, metacontent, or however it goes. One folder will be for the torrent files, the other will be for the patch files. Download the patch file through the torrent, and then toss it into the patch folder and run the updater.

Re: FFXIV Installation Info & Issues - Post here please

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\downloads\ffxiv\48eca647\metainfo\D2010.09.19.0000

That's for the Sept. 19 patch. The "July" patch is in the other numbered folder in download\ffxiv.

Re: FFXIV Updater (Release)

Try doing it the same way we did it in beta -- use uTorrent.

The torrent files are in this location this time around...
C:\users\%userprofile%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV\downloads\ffxiv\
And so on and so forth.

Can you link to the torrent files please?

Also, if you do link them, where do I install the files to?

Its stopped at .8% and not updating. Anyone got any help?

Edit: Now it says Local Connections: 2

And every so often then Upload Speed will have a few KBPS, whats the upload speed do anyways?

Re: FFXIV Installation Info & Issues - Post here please

I had no problems updating. It's just hit and miss I think. My update took 45 minutes but it would fluctuate greatly between an hour and TEN hours. lol My advice, cancel and restart if its not updating after 10 minutes.

Mine wouldn't update at all, either. Just torrented it like before and it finished in 7 mins. :s
