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.0 -

Don't delete it just pause and restart. I've had to do this several times throughout the download because when speeds drop back down to 16 hours you aren't going to want to restart the patch each time.2 -

So a re-download of day one content? I can imagine why that is annoying to many.A5ko ▪ High Elf ▪ Sorcerer ▪ Aldmeri Dominion ▪ XBOX One ▪ EU Megaserver0 -
Dexder✭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.
I dont trust them. And i never had more Speed with Google DNS, tested it several times.(Powered by DSL and approx 50m away from DSLAM) Its better (and Safer) to stay with your ISP's DNS Servers."Video Games don't affect Kids.

Aqualina✭We ask for a patch to fix the game, and it just to happens to include updates 01.01 to 01.03, and all people can do is be upset at them? I mean, would it have been better for the game to stay unpatched and no updates? Can't please everyone I guess...1 -

Well i tried doing that but it wasn't working for me. Deleting it did but who knows why the pausing wasn't working. Going to let it coast without touching it.0 -

Wow lol
Gina just said this patch is large because it contains multiple patches.
It has Nothing to do with the day one patch bud again that patch was required because of the game file before the console release.

Gta gets an incremental about every other month for content updates and we dont donwload the full patch again the bar literally starts t percentage and just adds on.Same with fifa and updates through this year.Razgriz_2142 wrote: »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.
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 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.
Its a balls up on ZOS's side to be honest
Im looking at 13h til i get it downloaded, basically to redownload a patch i already have.
total joke honestly contemplating selling this game i really enjoy it aswell but jesus christ zenimax have dropped the ball big time for something as simple as an incremental patch0 -

It's the same on PC. Patch sizes are usually a few GB. You end up re-downloading the same content that has been updated.0 -

I'd say every tom,*** and harry is downloading it atm lol a que is forming and slow downloads are following. 0 -
This patch is telling me I have 40hrs for download, Christ I've got a super fast line and should do this in no time. What the hell is with this speed.
i know right, i have 100mb down 10mb up, and mine is telling me 33 hours, what is this? been waiting all day to play and now this, not a good way to get started, got this game yesterday and so far i had more downtime then PLAYTIME -.-0 -

Your complaing about them bringing a game out thats not ready, yet if they had posponed realease youd all be bitching about that too! If you want a glitch/bug free game then learn to be paitent. Props to the ZOS team for putting up with your *** all day.
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?
Perfect analogy because a bowl of soup is equivalent to a major console game.
No, of course it's not, but the general idea is the same. When you buy a item, whatever it is, you expect it to be in working order.
The people in this thread aren't moaning about the download per se, they're moaning about having to download pretty much the exact same patch that they downloaded on day one and I don't think that frustration is unreasonable to be honest.0 -

Mefromnorway✭✭✭15gb is this serious???
Total is now 70gb for one game we only get 500gb and mine is under 50 already...
Edit: got 31gb on my console before i update...
Sonys fault why didnt they sell 1tb/2tb systems at launch, i assumed games would be 20/25gb max so you could get 15+ games, (and they would still be tight imo..)
it will only be overwriten u dont get 15 gb more it overwrite old files as i understandHave fun and dont be rude. Im Norwegian so im sorry for my spelling, but hope u understand.
Grand Master Crafter.
5 chars full 9 traiter.
3 chars Flawless

This 15 gb does not increase the file size of the overall game it overwrites info already there......PC had the same stuff go on I played on there for a year so it is normal for huge games like thisIt was the skooma I tell ya......0

Mitchblue✭✭✭✭I have another game on PS4, the Golf Club, and every time there's a patch/bug fix the whole game gets downloaded every time. Fortunately it's not a big file so it started with 1GB now it's 2.5-3.0 gigs. Maybe it's the way PS4 does things. Fortunately in 15 minutes, the patch is a 3rd done.Anyone else rooting for Molag Bal?0
