I have 5, 1.5TB harddrives, however my Main os is deliberatly installed on a partitioned 80gig second of one of them, this isnt a problem for most games as i have a harddrive dedicated to games, but this game, downloads its patchs on the C drive no matter what, even if the game is installed on a totally different harddrive.

 

Is there anyway to force my documents onto another harddrive, as the size issues on that drive is giving me problems, and it is pretty much impossible to allocate more space without reformating.

    For open beta at least I think you have to use C:, but you can use this method to dl somewhere else:

    You can use a torrent program, navigate to:


    DocumentsMy GamesFINAL FANTASY XIV Beta Versiondownloadsffxiv-betad96437e6metainfo





     

    You will see the file that is listed in the patcher.  You can then open these with a torrent program and download it much faster.  Then you copy the downloaded patch to:

    Run the patcher and it will patch and you are good to go.

    Damn won't let me edit.  You can use this method to dl the patches to a different location then copy them to the patch folder on c and run the patch which should put the data on the installed drive if it lets you install on a non C: drive.

    I still have to copy the patch back to the c drive, i did that method.

    Yeah, I have the same issue, first game i've seen in years that won't let me pick where to put the data.  Ah well.
