Call of Duty Modern Warfare - Slow or Stuck Downloads

Saw a tutorial on youtube made by a guy from India and his quick fix worked for me.

Steps:

  1. Set region to Asia
  2. Set download speed to 300kb/s
  3. Pause the download for a few seconds
  4. Continue download
  5. Set download speed to 0 (maxium)

Thank the savior from India.

I’d gladly post my speedtest link or screenshot but it’s not allowed here.

Results:
Ping: 4 ms
Download: 538.13 Mbps
Upload: 116.25 Mbps

Steam goes around 60 MB/s and battlenet xxx KB/s!

Blizzard stop telling us how it’s our providers that lack the bandwidth.

Your servers in EU (Germany) are totally overloaded. I bet usage is 100% at all times.

The trick with switching the region to Asia, limiting download to 300, start/pause a couple times, then set limit to 0, that leads to 4x “level3 blizzard com” connections which gives me a total of 3.5 MB/s, still bad but better than 100 KB/s.

Sad is that the connection goes back to 300 KB/s after a while, then I need to repeat the process to get 3.5 MB/s again.

150 KB/s - Europe
3.6 MB/s - Asia - (Now 15 KB/s)

45GB patch… Won’t be able to play the game for a couple days or so at this rate.

It is very very very very very very very frustrating. I want to slap the person in charge of the updates and I hope he will be cursed with this download speed when watching adult movies. In 20 years of playing games never had this kind of issue. After many months still not able to solve the issue … money > customers.

Wish u all the best. Hope to play this month, and do not buy battle pass ever again … maybe they will stop making updates. Cheerios!

Thank you :muscle:

Region: EU.
Speed improvement: from 280KB/sec to 4.4MB/sec.

Okay so now you made me write a post here too!

How…HOW is it possible that these issues persist since march? I am starting to believe this can not possibly be related to inability but much more to the fact you simply don’t give a damn about it.

You know about the issue of slow and stuck downloads since months. Instead of increasing the capacity of your servers or CDN you do some bs talk about this being an overall internet problem bla bla bla. It`s just not!

When using the default download settings in the Blizzard App, I get – as most other people do – an inacceptable slow download speed. Is this my internet? How is it then, that if you

  1. Connect to a VPN in US-Region
  2. Set Region in the Blizzard App to US
  3. Start the Download again

You get over 100x more speed?

It is because

a) you just refuse to buy an appropriate amount of capacity in the region here and

b) you are just too bad to direct traffic to regions with less load

which is amplified by

c) your god damn download sizes are utterly retarded overblown !

This is by far the worst experience I´ve made with a game in my life. And the sad thing is, that Activision created a pretty cool game . But the delivery of this game, which is the solve task you had, is just completely botched up!

You should be seriously ashamed of yourself !

Blizzard. Stop being to damn money hungry and buy/establish more servers. Your download speed is an Embarrassment to the online community world-wide. Shame.

Blizzard is an embarrassment to the world-wide online community as they stand right now.

It’s a simple fix to do but unfortunately, that would involve Blizzard spending some of it’s millions on server infrastructure rather than I assume hookers and blow.

We don’t see this issue on services like Steam, Epic, Origin etc. It’s an issue that was solved many years ago.

Sticking a message up about ‘we are aware of an issue’ doesn’t actually mean they’re doing anything about it. The advise is don’t do it in prime time but they then go to essentially state, it’s prime time somewhere in the world at any time.

The fix would be to stop buying the products but well, thats realistically not going to happen so we have to suck up their terrible process.

shame on! i cannot really complain because i don’t pay money for warzone. but what you offer your paying clients is a mess. don’t wonder if you loose player.

How this can still be an issue baffles me. I’m downloading COD patch on bnet with a speed of 300kbs when I have 600mbit and I get full speed anywhere else. This a god damn joke and has been the past 2 months. Fix it already

yes, AMAZING mess up… 1 B/s it’s gonna be several weeks to patch this game. what a joke…

Fix the download speed of this *** client or at least provide a direct link for the files that we need to download. This is embarrassing.

Everyone do this! Worked for me, getting around 4 MB now instead of 200kb/s

Downloading at 50kb/s or max 1mb/s. Thanks, at this rate ill download the game in a week.

The Asia trick works for a little while but eventually does slow down… If you are like me and just want the download over with, use expressvpn make the 1 month sub payment, and then when the download has finished just use their money back guarentee
