It gets to 100% on both bars then terminates the program with this error. _________________________________ "An update error has occurred." Error 20524 _________________________________ It provides no other information other than that.

But first you may try simply deleting specific FFXIV folders under My Documents - My games. This will force the patcher to re-create the folders and go back to look for older patches. Start by backing up the FFXIV folder to your desktop. Then, delete the original "downloads" folder. Launch the patcher and see if that helps. If that doesn't work, delete the whole FFXIV folder. If that doesn't work, re-install FFXIV entirely. Note that the FFXIV folder under My Documents is not deleted when you uninstall FFXIV - this folder contains certain patch information along with your UI settings and saved character models. Another possible solution is to change the date in your game.ver file to today's date, or an earlier date. (0) Last edited by Grit; 04-28-2011 at 07:27 AM.

Anyhow this is a problem from a corrupted ffxivgame.exe, this usually results from you applying the mouse fix someone released a while back. just get someone to give you a backup of the exe and it should go away Reply With Quote 2010-10-2221:15 #3 xopher View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Nidhogg Join Date Feb 2008 Posts 3,790 BG Level 7 FFXIV Character Tsugaru Mifra FFXIV Server Hyperion FFXI Server Ragnarok I didn't install the mouse fix though Reply With Quote 2010-10-2221:20 #4 xopher View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries Nidhogg Join Date Feb 2008 Posts 3,790 BG Level 7 FFXIV Character Tsugaru Mifra FFXIV Server Hyperion FFXI Server Ragnarok Fixed it rofl.

Hmm my patch.ver is 1.21, but my game.ver is 2010.11.25.0002. When i try to change the numbers to match yours it says access denied when i try to save. *edit* I was able to change it and it seems to be working. Now I just need to wait for my copy of the game, since the buddy pass my friend gave me has already been registered it seems.
