I just checked my Internet speed and it's 59Mbps download and yet the patch says it's going to take 26hrs, lol.
I tell you, this game is giving me more and more reasons to not play it anymore.

Ha, if console folks are complaining now, what is gonna happen when it it is a significant patch and there is a 30 or 50 gig download. I'm pretty sure its happened a few times on PC already.

Seriously My play time during the day is the same time as Patch time, so I usually consider any day I get to play on patch day a bonus.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the servers are down all day instead of a couple of hours on those days so it makes it that much worse.

15GB!? You could make an entire army of sheep with that size.

Its more the fact we are pretty much re downloading content we already have installed from the day 1 patch if they were adding in the new areas sure i would probably not be that bothered, its the fact we are downloading data which is just esentially wasting peoples time and bandwith

So if you were in a restaurant and you found a hair in your soup and the waiter said to you "I'll just change that for you sir, I'll get you a new bowl in 15 hours" you'd be totally happy with that would you?

As said earlier already, delete the update file, then go to the elder scrolls app and check for update. My download time improved from 72 hours to 3 hours.

Also, having you playstation 4 in rest mode will slightly increase download time as well.

Sithisvoid

Yeah the fact that it's a redownload and what a lot of people may be forgetting is planetside 2 released yesterday so psn is getting high traffic. That's why the download speeds are so slow. ESO launch, planetside two and a Final Fantasy DLC

Imhotep71

Is the patch downloading automatically if the PS4 is in rest mode?

And you find out after 15hrs, that you've got exactly the same bowl of soup, just minus the hair, lol

just found a neat trick with google. If you change your primary and secondary dns you can get your download right down. ive gone from 15hrs to 1hr now.

pause and restart the download a few times until you get your normal speeds back.

Perfect analogy because a bowl of soup is equivalent to a major console game.

It's quite fun to see console players going completely bananas every patch or server maintenance day. Reminds me of the early days in WoW where everyone would demand a refund for their sub on such days.

This. A lot of work full time jobs. I read this game was going to have an almost 16 gig day one patch. Even though I work extremely early on Tuesday mornings (have to be in by 6), I set my alarm to wake up for the Gamestop midnight release so I could make sure I could have this huge file downloaded when I got home from work. Now having to download essentially the same file on my day off (two days off a week like most people) is a nuisance. It's not entitlement or whatever, but this leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I get that MMOs needs patches, but browsing the forum, it seems this has been an issue on PC before.

It also doesn't help that PSN is notorious for slow download speeds.

So is this only PS4 or XB1 also? My guess is in either case it is the fault of the console companies and not ZOS as each Patch needs to be able to patch store bought discs. It could be that they won't allow them to have two versions of patch. Then again it could be that ZOS doesn't want to pay for two versions of a patch to be certified. 2 versions being Full and Essential versions of the patches.

Edit: small edit corrected a screwed up re-write.

So you're not getting anything new, just the patches you already had?

Now I'm just annoyed that my ps4 doesn't like to switch to the proper hdmi channel every time, since I'm restarting my ps4 often lol

I had to log in to the game in order for it to kick me off and say it needs to download a patch.

As Gina said it contains multiple patches the 15 gigs we downloaded on the console day one was apart of the game already.

We did warn as many as we could here as the pc version is very large and the day 1 download was required.

floormat

Deleted the download a few times and now it went from 6 - 10 hrs of downloading down to 90 minutes download time.
