ARR?

Ok i can see a somewhat of a miscommunication. Shira thinks you are just talking about the base game only which is ARR (A Realm Reborn). If you want to play the whole game then you will need to buy Stormblood along with the base game (ARR)

That means i need a extra download for the DLC too?

Yes.

That means, i only downloaded the base game and the updates? so i need only the download on the launcher the dlc ?

If you never installed the game: add A Realm Reborn to your steam account ( add cd key) and same goes with Stormblood - 3rd expansion (which includes Heavensward -2nd expansion).

once you added those cd keys you can click install on your steam client and it will install them.

Then make sure you have registered these keys to your mogstation for FFXIV.

Launch game ( hit play on steam or your desktop/laptop shortcut).

It will proceed to download additional content/patches which I believe is about 18-20gb as I had to reinstall mine so I'm in the process of that ( for me it's a slow download so no idea what it's like for others, my guess it varies depending on your internet downstream speeds).

I have only purchased the base game and after downloading 8.5G and launching the game for the first time it went on patching for 15G (launcher) that keeps getting errors and stoping.

So if I just purchase the DLC on steam (which I planned to do later because I believed you needed to be high lvl to use them and, well, see if I like the game enough) then steam will download them and let me avoid the launcher ?

Launcher download seems to be broken hard based on the number of people that have trouble downloading patch with it...I see a solution to install a VPN for the launcher to work...seriously...how long has this game be in production ?? how crappy the launcher has to be that for it to works you need a VPN ?

No, the only thing downloaded via Steam is the 8.5GB you already have. Everything else is done via the launcher.

Ha well..thanks a lot for your input, guess I'll have to work around that nightmare piece of sotware that is the FFXIV launcher....

ty all that is enough :)

How to recover a Square Enix account after you deleted it and where to find the registratoion code because I created multiple accounts and emails to do this but they always say that the registration code is wrong or it has already been used so now I am lost.

Sounds like you need to get in touch with Square Enix to resolve this. I would actually give them a call because I don't think sending a ticket will help. They will probably tell you that you need to actually talk with them. you could try the chat system they have but again I think giving them a call would actually yield better results.

As Blissy said, It's best to get in touch with Square-Enix support regarding that problem.
