This is the problem I have. I live in the US. Paid over $100 for this game. Steam says I have played the game 71 Hours. But all but 3 of those hours have been spent trying to download updates. I got the game running last week by going to settings and setting bandwidth to unlimited. I then downloaded, not fast, but faster. After that download was finally done I set the limit again and was able to run the game for 3 hours.
And now there is another update. Don’t get me wrong. I am all for updates because they normally improve the game. But where my updates for other games normally download in a few seconds to a few minutes, this one takes days. I have a connection speed of between 90 to 175Mbps download so I don’t understand why it is so slow.
But this new download starts automatically. It does not let me go into settings first and set the bandwidth back to unlimited. Why do they prevent this? If I get to settings again I can try setting it to not update automatically. So now it is worse than before. it is now fluctuating between .5Mbps and 2.5 Mbps. I installed a VPN because someone in a post had good results from that. It did double my download speed but that’s still only 5.0Mbps. How can they do this to people? Have none of the game creators even thought about these issues?
So the Idea that I pay so much for something I have not been able to use for the first month I have it is crazy. I guess I’m the crazy one for thinking a company that has been around so long can fail so badly.
Does my post improve the conversation? It will if the makers of this game Finally decide to make improvements to how downloads are done.
