Okay, there are a few points I need to make here, because frankly this is in the realm of Stupid. I'm also a little frustrated, so bear with me:
I just nuked my entire Final Fantasy 14 installation. The entire 102GB folder. I did this on accident, given that I ended up, somehow, with two installations. Setting aside the fact that windows has no interest in updating the 'Date Modified' on anything other than EXACTLY was was modified, rather than the hierarchal directory. I was unable to verify which Installation was the old one, but because FFXIV doesn't have a 'Open Installation Folder' option, and the launcher was referencing the wrong folder, I ended up choosing the wrong one. So.. SquareEnix? Fix this.
Secondly, are you kidding me with this 9.0Mb/s Download speed? I get that I'm downloading something large, but I don't pay stupid amounts of money for Gigabit Ethernet, just for my download speeds to remind me of 2010. My timer is currently sitting at '427 minutes', which is 7 Hours and 7 Minutes for those of you following along at home. 7 Hours to play a game I should be able to play RIGHT JUST NOW if it weren't for the deletion.
Now, you might be thinking to yourself, "Just transfer from the other installation, and update. Duh." Which would be great if it weren't for the fact that the Final Fantasy Launcher lost its Proverbials and refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the files and kept throwing errors.
So not only is my installation nuked, but because the launcher was located in one installation, and referenced the installation I destroyed, all my HUD and personal settings are completely gone.
Thanks, Square'. Now fix your Lancher and DL speeds. 10Mb/s for 102GB is a bad joke.
Edit/Update: Good GODS, this has to be a bad joke. I jumped onto my laptop, downloaded the patch, moved it to an External, moved it from the External to my Desktop, then uploaded and ran the laucher. It decided to just download the game anyway, and refuses to open. Huge waste of time, effort, and more importantly, my montlly Bandwidth! Thanks, SquareEnix, I hate this Holiday "gift".
