Call of Duty Modern Warfare - Slow or Stuck Downloads

Same issue, and this is the only download i’m having issues with. Today I have had enough, got a refund. Been having this issue every time there is an update, they keep blaming everybody else, but the root cause to this is their own client or how they distribute network for MW, all the Blizzard games are updating just fine. :slight_smile:

Regardless how long you have owned the game, you can get a refund on a technical issue due to slow download speeds. Just remember to select that category.

Salut! HI! The solution is here, i ll say it again:
-Get a VPN
-Change servers to America USAif you are from Europe(if you are from other regions just play a change roulette selecting your region on your battlenet app and selecting servers on your VPN),
ex: Location Europe, selected battlent region Americas, VPN server New York
speed jumps from 200 kb/s to 12 mb/s.
-psssssss, a small tip, if you don t wanna pay a whole registered full VPN, get a trial :wink:

Nice, it’s time to uninstall another Activision’s game. GG! :slight_smile:

warzone ios free to play dummy, you purchased the multiplayer and story mode

I can download every other game at a nice pace but cod:mw is the only one beginning slow and giving errors. What,

ive never known a game to have so many downloads/updates/shader installs… I dont play every day so everytime i want to go on its some sort of download. currently waiting for a 15GB download at 177kb/s, i mean whats the point in having the game. i spend more time waiting for the game than playing it. so like every other time this happens, im off to play Battlefield…

Since when does this problem persists ? 2 weeks now ?
What the hell is wrong with you guys?
Too bad that this game cannot be downloaded from Steam…

Srsly, you are such a big company, and you can/will not give us any information about the patch problems ?
On the other hands…season 3 of MW has started…but how the hell will I be able to play this, if your patch servers are constantly unavailable etc…I paid for this game.

I have been downloading for almost 10 hours now, and it still has 9.22 GB to go. The speed has been around 200-300 KB/s. But most of the time it goes down to 1.31 KB/s and somtimes even just 0. Please fix this mess so i can finally play the game which i payed money for.

I just cant believe that you decided to release WARZONE FOR FREE and now u have issue with servers. Use brain next time before you did it. Now we have issue and cant play game that we paid for (60eur) is that normal for you? But some people with free game WARZONE could play normal. Create another servers for WARZONE otherwise RIP COD MW. Also fix it and give us some information or this is last time i purchased anything at blizzard.

For those who need a VPN, i’ve paid for a 1 month subscription and am willing to share it as i have no other usage of it.

Given the 5 devices limit, i am distributing the access (login/password) through a discord server.

join if you would like to have it : https:// discord. gg /mhabN7

Read before ask.

Been using a VPN as well, Germany -> America. Not working as well.

im glad i didnt pay for this game, its sad that blizzard once again doesnt care. Sorry for how long you’ve been in the business and still struggling with “too many” is still funny. Feel sorry for those that paid for everything and can’t play. Btw your “help” post when the download stops is basically useless, no effort was put into it

One of you guys found a solution and it worked for me. Its not a VPN (tried that too). It worked like magic, from 10kb/s to 12-15mb/s , which is almost max speed for me.
I’ll just C/P this:

"This comes from reddit and fixed it for me, now downloads at 10MB/S

I changed to Asia, paused the download, changed the download speed to 100 KB/s, unpaused it and set it back to 0(unlimited again). I did this and then it finally worked.

People have to come up with these wonky solutions because gas station sushi is more reliable than the blizzard launcher. "

Anyway sometimes it gets slow again, but just repeat the process and it goes up again. So while Blizzard is telling you that maybe your pc or ip are causing problems, some smart people found a simple solution.

thanks worked for me

So, I have a 80/80 connection. I’m trying to update MW, and it’s stuck between 0 m/s to 300 kbps. I’m connected straight into my router, and don’t know what to do. Halp.

thanks worked for me too, ty

thx for the tip this is really working. i already unistallt and done all kind off other stuff but in all fairniss the devs should be ashamedt that this kinda stuff is keep happening

Worked for me 2. I didn’t know what “asia” I had to select so I selected the last one.

I love this ironi. Activision is ending the Season 2 and Starts Season 3 and nobody is able to download it XD

This helped me out, mine went to 10,06MB/s now, from being stuck at 0 on Europe.

changed to Asia, paused the download, changed the download speed to 100 KB/s, unpaused it and set it back to 0(unlimited again). I did this and then it finally worked.

This worked great, thanks! Went from 50kbs to 13mbs…
