Hey folks, you may see slow download speeds reported during a portion of the patch update. This is expected, the installer is patching/installing the data and doesn’t need to download anything at that time.

Sorry for the confusion, cheers!

My man if you are going to pump out a 14GB update you should allow us to pre-download, now the wait times are going to be epic. c’mone

The pre-downloader can’t work in this case as Bill explains. It has to download, install, then download more, then install, etc.

What about on ps4? My download speed has dropped dramatically down to 9kb/s and I’ve only managed just over 2GB of this 21GB update in an hour

16

its because of the new mode & it having a new map right?

17

No, they are apparently revamping the file system again to make patching a little more smooth for future patches:

18

Can you tell me why the update takes more space than the game itself when first installing though?

Then they should of SAID SOMETHING AHEAD OF TIME.
Not just drop it on everyone, would at least give people time to prepare.
Also they should of done it a DAY EARLY so people could download it…
They could of “pre-patched” in one go 1 day ahead.

My download on PS4 was okay considering the size of the patch, but my friends have horrendously long download times and I don’t want to play without them… :confused:
