Make sure your launcher isn't open when you save the file change. That was causing it to fail for me. After making sure it was closed and then going in and editing+saving the config file, it worked.
Either good compression (4GB download but 10GB on disk) or it's split in an effort to reduce load (rather than everyone downloading the big patch and taking a while, it's split into smaller chunks to spread out the download? I dunno how network optimisation stuff works though...)
Can someone maybe update the thread title to say no spoilers or non-spoiler? Would prefer have the datamined stuff posts on a separate thread.
If you get a version check / launcher error on PC try this fix:Reddit - Dive into anything

Receipt: This fixed the error for me.
I did this and worked for me too (Steam version).
On PS5 the download is 7.6 GB for comparison. When you boot it up the splash screen is Endwalker logo. Aaaaaaa!
Also re: datamining I'm gonna be resisting the urge to lurk the places because I really wanna see weapons and gear. Usually I'm not spoiled on story by it. I want to see RPR and SGE 71-80 leveling dungeon weapons, the Fae ones specifically. I also wanna know if anything cool was datamined from the Gold Saucer. I'll try to resist though.

If you want just one officially sanctioned tease of a cosmetic item that will probably be from Gold Saucer (going by similar items that are already there), this was posted on the FFXIV Instagram:
Nice! I hadn't seen this. I got the angel wings but it's so easy to forget these accessories exist.
Wouldn't be surprised if I see a crap ton of players wearing those in-game in the future.
SOmeone @me when the dataminers find out how many new hairstyles Viera get.
the greatest change of all would be letting you do... anything while wearing them
I sure hope mine is downloading right now while I'm out.
Echoing this, to prevent someone posted stuff he thought was ok.

This was really all I needed from this expansion to be satisfied.
I don't use any mods so what would be the point of using anything else?
Not having to type in your user name and pwd each time is pretty nice *shrug*
How long would one say the Sorrow of Werlyt trial questline takes? I have been going through and checking off all the old raid storylines and thought I was good to go but just realized I had never actually done these for some reason. Might do it before I start Endwalker MSQ.
Maybe 4-5 hours including queuing time?
Speaking of stuff I never finished, I didn't mange to get around to finish the 4 lords, but I don't think they're gonna be that relevant in Endwalker.
I mean, I have to type my 2FA passcode anyway, so it's neither here nor there.
Also, I guess SE would have said something by now, but are we sure the PC update only being like 4GB doesn't indicate a broken file or something?
a mod that saves your password....call me a bit paranoid but I don't like the sounds of that, especially when it's a mod.
it's still one less thing to type, which is always a boon. plus the unofficial launcher is still faster when it comes to checking updates
it's an open source project and the password is saved in windows credential store, so it's a non-concern
Interesting, how much faster? I get 90 MB/s with the official launcher.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE.... DAAAAAAAAARK MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!!!!!!!!!!!
Abyssal drain change is dumb in my view. Just removing what little self healing DRK has. Im not a fan, even if the numbers work out and everything I just straight up don't like the change. Feels like you actively work yourself into a corner as a DRK whereas other tanks can self heal out the ass and save themselves from WHMs who now have more reason to never use their job gauge heals.
*cries in PSN client as I try and make himbo outfits for my Roe with what's in the game*
it does 4 download streams at once by default, so while it's not exactly 4x faster because you're splitting some bandwidth, it's in that ballpark
plus it doesn't make you wait for the "checking launcher version" window on opening it like the official one does
i mourn for all your large lads who aren't able to use beefy pecs once textools rises from the ashes
I wonder if it would fix my issue at work. I have to basically patch at home and copy the whole thing manually to my work PC since the documents folder is on a network share which breaks the official launcher. Is it FFXIVQuickLauncher?
The main reason I use XIVLauncher is so I don't have to type my one-time password. It lets you send the OTP via an HTTP call from any source, so I have a python script that generates my OTP from the secret and sends it over. No typing to log in. This only became possible this year when they added support for other authenticators like Authy and Google Authenticator though.
Indeed. XIVLauncher uses Aria2 for its downloading, which is MUCH faster than the standard SE launcher.
They are amazing yeah, it's a shame they'll be busted for a few weeks while they update everything.
such as? ive never really looked into using that, so i am not sure what type of things are ok, and not ok.
