The "unable to download patch files" error is a pretty common problem with FF14 and a recurrent issue happening with each update. Players who've encountered this issue in the past regularly mentioned it's a firewall issue or a permissions issue. So here are the methods you could try to fix the problem.


To disable the Windows firewall, go to Control Panel, System and Security, and then Windows firewall. Click "Turn off Windows Firewall (not recommended) for both Private and Public network settings". And then try downloading the FF14 Endwalker update again. Once you're done be sure to reactivate the firewall.


You can easily do that by deleting the "4e9a232b" folder of FF14. You can find it in Users, -name of the user you're logged on with on Windows-, Documents, My Games, Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn, Downloads, and then Patch. In there, delete the folder "4e9a232b". And then try downloading the update again.


Disclosures: This game was obtained via paid digital download and reviewed on the PC. Approximately 80 hours of play was devoted to multiplayer modes, and there is no offline option available.


In the Official MMORPG.com Review, our own Adam Tingle takes a look at the tank simulation MMO that's taking the world by storm and divulges whether you should even bother with the download. The short answer? Yes. Read on!
