This is just a wild guess, but I can't see what else would it be if 44 files are 'missing' every time I run it, despite the game being up to date.Р”Р„nyone else ran into this problem or perhaps Valve's staff could provide some insight? I'm going to start avoiding that 'verify integrity' button like it was a bloody virus.

Maybe those files have been removed or merged with others over the course of updates since FFXIV came on Steam, so now that they're not there anymore because Square has maybe either removed or merged them, the verify integrity option thinks they're missing and therefore starts the whole download procedure to 'downgrade' the game to a base, unupdated version. If I had to throw a wild guess, there's a set of files that the verify thing checks. So I can't help but to wonder what could it possibly be downloading and missing? Because this is quite ridiculous if I have to also reinstall Heavensward for the second time. The chunkt compressionMode indicates whether the specific entry file chunkt has no compression N or is compressed with the zlib algorithm Z. In order to validate the operation, SHA-1 hashes are used to verify file deltas. Just before this, I logged into the game and it ran without any issues. The chunkt mode indicates whether the specific entry file chunkt will be added A, deleted D, or modified M.

and guess what? 44 files missing, same 8GB download starts. Before you start, verify that you have the following installed for FFXI, PlayOnline, Ashita and/or Windower. First Time Installation Pre-installation. Restart the host files, then launch Uplay to check if the error has been fixed. Assuming youРІР‚в„ўve already downloaded and installed the FFXI client from SquareEnix, youРІР‚в„ўre ready to connect and begin updating your files.

I was thinking I'll run the 'verify integrity of game cache' again just for the heck of it. Step 1: Click the Windows Defender icon on the right corner of your computer. Heavensward installed and the game is as up to date as it can possibly be. So after some 300mins of downloading and installing it's done. This was a pretty big WTF moment for me because so far I've been playing it without any issues at all, aside from the Steam overlay not working. Either way, once Steam was done doing its thing I boot the launcher and it claims that the Heavensward expansion isn't installed. That seems like an awful lot of missing data I think. I figured I'd try to use the 'verify integrity of game cache' from the Properties in my Steam game library and turns out there were apparently 44 files missing, worth some 8GB of data.

I noticed about a week ago that the in-game Steam overlay isn't working for FFXIV and before it used to work just fine. So, I'll start off with where this issue 'started'.
