Have fun! Thanks for keeping me entertained as mine crawls along. haha
It also bounces if you’re uncapped while it’s trying to find your top speed. Try cappung it 10% below your top speed.
That seems HIGHLY suspect. If it’s uncapped - there should be zero bandwidth processing, zero throttling. It’s not trying to find my top speed, it’s just a a bad CDN, or my ISP (Spectrum) is crap. Or, there’s too many people trying to get this new update, and the servers are going haywire. Adjusting my “top speed” shouldn’t change anything if I was uncapped from the start.

Spectrum is crap, but not with regard to speed. It just has absolute awful customer service and they’ll fight you tooth and nail if you want to use your own equipment (you’re allowed to by FCC regulations). I doubt they’re the cause of any issues here.
Data centers have a lot of bandwidth, but not infinite. When nearly the entire playerbase is downloading the update, speeds will fluctuate wildly. I went from 100 MB/sec to 400k/sec to 10 MB/sec to 100k/sec and then finally back up to 110 MB/sec. It’s just best to do something else constructive during a very large download like this so you aren’t so laser focused on speeds that you end up raging as a result.

Yes, that is pretty much what I’m thinking. The whole adjusting your maximum to try and get it to go higher literally will do nothing - that’s just not how that works.
It’s just frustrating to have to have downloaded a 26GB patch that nerfed ALL of my Blizzard games somehow…to have to uninstall/reinstall Bnet/Reboot 3 times, and still then have to do a complete clean install of D4.

I purposely did a clean install of D4 (nuking the /Data folder and clicking Update in the Battle.net app) so my install could be contiguous. VoH’s patch would have overwritten so much of the previous data that enumeration would be an issue with CASC so I decided to avoid that by just downloading the entire game, including the high resolution assets.
Just remember that when you log in you may want to sit in the character select screen for a few minutes while shaders are downloaded and compiled, otherwise you’ll get major hitching in the game world for a while.
What the actual.
Full clean re-install.
Game finally launched, got to the “Logging into” part…but then it crashes…and am STILL getting an error saying that there are corrupted files.
Scan and Repair just says “Whoops! Looks like something broke…”
/furious
Copying notes I have from my experience, from another thread:
If I start my PC, I can run WoW and D3 just fine. But once I start D4, I get 2 errors “Diablo IV was unable to retrieve the necessary data…”, and “Diablo IV detected corrupted data…”.
Trying to run D3 and WoW afterwards, I get errors about not being able to access the files on my SSD.
This extends to OTHER games not related to Blizzard that work just fine normally. i.e. - FFXIV loads fine…until I try to launch D4 and it seems to bork something, and then when I try to launch FFXIV, it failed claiming it can’t access files.
Rebooting allows me to run WoW and D3 and FFXIV…
What the hell did you do?
Hey, thanks for the well wishes. Seems to be doing great
