Thankfully I'm not the only one that'southward ran into this effect but this is quite frustrating. And so if you're similar me and preloaded the game before release and unpacked the game this morning time, y'all may have been forced to redownload the entire game again despite downloading it once.

Patently downloading information technology the second time does piece of work but multiple users have reported this issue on the Steam Forums. It's pretty ridiculous because the download size is nearly 75GB's and near people similar myself don't have the best internet connection. Basically this is more of a PSA to those that preloaded the game on Steam, it'south besides been happening with the high resolution texture pack likewise.

Here's where the download was validating

And when it decided to restart, while most of the blame can be put towards your cyberspace I do actually call back some can exist put on Foursquare since Regal Edition on consoles has all the DLC and updates equally separate downloads.

Recollect of it this way, it would've not hurt to adopt a similar method and have some of the DLC be split downloads and so that yous can but install the base game and and so the DLC subsequently.

Man that really sucks, as a local, personal, electric current trouble, devoid of the larger evils of society. Only yeah, that would piss me off. Stop the downloadin'.

• #three

That is a huge oversight.
Especially people with bandwith caps.

• #4

Isn't that rather a Steam-problem than a FF15-Problem?

I remember when they delayed FFXV on consoles from September to November of 2016, they did it for the soul reason of the day one patch and game size. Honestly I think they should've done quondam similar have the DLC exist individual downloads.

• #7

I wanted to attempt this but the size is ridiculous. Dodged a bullet? As for the detail event, is it a case of Square pushing a incorrect version too early?

• #8

This is a Steam trouble. Has happened in the past. Their pre-loading is a adventure every time.

• #9

I wanted to try this but the size is ridiculous. Dodged a bullet? As for the particular event, is information technology a case of Foursquare pushing a wrong version too early?

It's possible.

I call up when they delayed FFXV on consoles from September to November of 2016, they did it for the soul reason of the day one patch and game size. Honestly I call back they should've washed one-time similar have the DLC be individual downloads.

I recollect the argument, information technology didn't bring much in the finish.

The DLC should be seperately, I concur, especially if y'all are only interested in the primary game.

While I do remember this is by and large a Steam trouble, role of the arraign can actually be attributed to the massive file size. While they were able to fit everything including the DLC in that. The royal edition on consoles has all the DLC equally seperate downloads and I don't recall information technology would've hurt for them to practise the same on Steam and have the DLC non be required installs.

• #12

While I do think this is mostly a Steam problem, part of the blame tin really be attributed to the massive file size. While they were able to fit everything including the DLC in that. The royal edition on consoles has all the DLC as seperate downloads and I don't retrieve it would've injure for them to do the same on Steam and have the DLC not be required installs.

Alternatively, these are the type of issues that will be completely forgotten and never again brought up a week or and then after release. All this type of stuff happened when GTAV released on PC too I call back and there was out-roar over it.

Lasted about 48 hours.

• #13

Dude this only happened to me.

I've preloaded this shit, restarted steam because it said it was locked withal, and now its redownloading everything again.

I'm never preloading anything on steam e'er again, never had an issue on console but steam e'er finds a manner to fuck up randomly.

• #fourteen

Await, why? My pre-load data were decrypted perfectly. No issue at all.

• #15

This is a Steam problem. Has happened in the by. Their pre-loading is a gamble every time.

Yeah, it happens when an update is detected during the unpacking process, which includes the add-on of DLC. Pre-load data is verified and unpacked on-the-wing, so if a patch or new information depot is detected, the procedure breaks down and doesn't consummate properly. It's probably something that could exist prevented by separating unpacking and verification so that the latter doesn't brainstorm until the erstwhile is complete.

• #sixteen

Alternatively, these are the type of issues that will be completely forgotten and never again brought up a calendar week or so later release. All this blazon of stuff happened when GTAV released on PC too I recall and there was out-roar over it.

Lasted about 48 hours.

That is a good point

• #17

crap, this scared me. I pre-loaded and hit play awhile back and was met with a "preparing to launch... ETA 2 hours". Apparently it'due south only decrypting? total BS either way

You should be fine in one case it'due south done, might wanna rename the file and save a re-create of the FFXV folder to your external hard drive just incase.

WELL SHIT, I Accept TO REDOWNLOAD THE Unabridged HIGH RES PACKAGEEEE.FML!

• #21

Wait, why? My pre-load information were decrypted perfectly. No event at all.

It's more a less a YMMV state of affairs but this seems to be a bandwidth cap issues for a lot of internet providers and such. Although that's adept to hear information technology'southward working for you lot

• #22

Isn't that rather a Steam-problem than a FF15-Problem?

Depends if any changes were fabricated by Squenix that may have contributed. Can't recall the last game to take this issue, merely it turned out some users downloaded a version that was only briefly available or something, and whatever changes were kicking effectually then led to Steam re-downloading?

Seems I got through without issues. Well, just event was having 33GB free subsequently preload, just unpacking required more than space, then I got an bereft space warning. After unpacking it seems it just needed a couple of gigs extra for that procedure

thats terrible yes. i jsut installed the high res texture pack and now the game wont start lmao.

I think you can untick the "DLC" to get the game going once again if there is an outcome

Yes, it happens when an update is detected during the unpacking process, which includes the add-on of DLC. Pre-load information is verified and unpacked on-the-fly, so if updated or new data is detected, the procedure breaks down and doesn't complete properly.

Ah in that location it is. Figured y'all'd have the answer!

• #23

I'm redownloading it for a freaking 3rd time now. I'yard sick of this shit.

• #24

It's more than a less a YMMV situation but this seems to exist a bandwidth cap issues for a lot of net providers and such. Although that's good to hear it's working for yous

I am sorry to hear that there is problem with so many of you lot. This is my outset fourth dimension doing it and so I accept done some research, but did non see any mention of this problem. Hopefully all of you can play the game as presently as possible!

• #25

I am deplorable to hear that there is trouble with and then many of you. This is my first fourth dimension doing information technology so I accept done some research, but did not see any mention of this problem. Hopefully all of you lot tin can play the game as soon every bit possible!

Aye it seems equally though it was a break down with the preload updating, currently downloading and then hopefully it will be proficient to go before long.
