They're already installed, you just need to unlock them. When you buy the collection you get 1 code, which will unlock any included expansions that you don't yet have.

There is some serious compression on these zips, this shit is taking forever to uncompress.

Didn't see the readme at first.. I was looking in the wrong folder.

For anyone else who needs it - it's in the client (smallest) download, not in the .dat file downloads.

Yeah, it's intense. Pretty certain it's another carbon copy of XI.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough

It's the first file in the post/download screen on the Official Forums and I didn't feel like looking up the file name!

New T4 Voidwatch NM: Cerbrocmoth.... it's a Cerberus with the lips of Rocl fused to it's anus... followed by a behemoth with it's horns grafted to Rocl's shins.

I think its only the second file that's compressed insanely. The third one only took 2-3 minutes.

**Zzsark** · 2011-08-29 02:22

1428 files to patch after DLing these files they just released tonight..... Huh? and where are people seeing this town info?

It's not you, it's a combination of this thread updating quickly, questions being answered as I'm asking them, not having a damn clue what's going on.

**Korialstrasz** · 2011-08-29 02:23

God dammit, finally done everything, click the "play on test server" button, and there's an update with more shit to download.

I'm getting wildly different results. #3 appears to be music/sfx, but it's still going to take ~15-20min while #2 has finished in just shy of 12min, and #1 still has half an hour to go;;

**Zzsark** · 2011-08-29 02:29

AHHH I shoulda changed jobs before I did this... has me down as main job NIN on the forums that is blasphemous. Town 0 here really curious as to what that is referring to.

**bungiefan** · 2011-08-29 02:29

Well crap... I can't log into the forum since my character is inactive, so I can't apply.

Yeah I don't know, I guess my two year old laptop is ungodly, took me 30-45 minutes to download the client, and aside from that first huge zip, the other two only took 2-3 minutes.

Edit: I guess i'm in town 0.

SE is so inconsistent on their region blocking crap... The downloads on my VPN (which I need to use when logging in to the game or onto the SE account pages) were taking way too long, so I turned the VPN off and am still able to download them... less than an hour remaining on all 3 now. I'll still have to do the update after installing the .zip files, but at least I should be able to try it out sometime tonight ^^;

**Korialstrasz** · 2011-08-29 02:39

The update via POL isn't all that bad. 1428 files total. I'd imagine it'll only get worse throughout the day as more and more people try to download it.
