15 GB Patch on PS4

ForgiveMeGaia

0.2 mbps this is gonna take a while

LOL at the post at the top of the page. You say you want updates, yet you're "trading your game" because of the update download file. This isn't adding 15G to your console, it is OVERWRITING the previous update. Maybe you should do some reading to find that out. I'm rank 1 in my pvp server and have a blast every time I play. Lag is expected in any game that renders 200 characters on a screen. If you can't wait more than TWO WEEKS to fix a massive game, then we don't want to play with you anyways. BAIBAI!!

Well, my excitement got the better of me and I spoke too soon. The pause/ restart trick worked for a bit and now its gone straight back up to 44 hours and now that little trick seems to do bugger all.

Trading this game in, I'm sorry but..

I'm not going to do these annual 15GB patches, when I've only got 100GB left and already have other games I want to get.

If this patch fixed:

-Lack of In game communication (Text Based Chat)
-Fixed bugged skills
-Fixed bugged quests.
-Displayed custom names and not PSN ID's.
-Option to permanently turn off MICs. (I'm sick of listening to other peoples music and foreigners)
-A much better group finder that actually puts you into a group, not a 2 man party.
-Less lag in PvP

Along with all the other problems, I'd probably consider it. But.. 36 hours for a freaking patch is out of the question.
Going back to a REAL MMO. FFXIV, realm reborn. Just released its expansion which alone is VASTLY Superior in every god damn aspect to this game.

Fix your *** Zenimax.

To be fair, this is replacing the existing day one patch. So it's re-writing those 15 gigs again.

It absolutely should not be like that, the patch should be less than a gig. Zeminax needs to get it together.

Very bad. Not good at all. Very poor form expecting paying customers to go through these tedious processes again and again with constant downtime. We paid to play not to constantly wait and wait.

This game won't last long if this keeps up.

They released a beta and unfortunately we are the testers. This should clearly never have been released for another year. It's just not ready. Of the play time I've had there's been bad lag and it's not due to my connection but their servers.

I'm now beginning to regret buying this as it looks like I'll not get to play it much. Tonight I was waiting at 8pm. Now it's 2am and still an hour and a half to download. About 7 1/2 hours downtime just horrible.

Lol wow never thought I'd see a console player repeat the words of a pc player.

You missed a couple of posts to [...] about on page 5

Yeah it's hard to keep up lol but i am well entertained while waiting for the download.

Yeah keep pausing and restarting until it goes back up in speed. Its frustrating but it works eventually.

Confirmed pausing and re pausing got my down load from 35 hours to 90 minutes take no notice of the fools who say delete the download already done it and lost 5 GB for nothing . Just be patient and spend the time pausing eventually you will kick the download off must have paused it about 40-50 times but it worked eventually

Typically, if you restart your PS4, and check the download, It'll have worked itself out to the point it eliminates the need to constantly pause/unpause to maintain efficient download speed.

Some of you guys....

Some of us expect a working game on release day, let alone one that's been released on the ''Master Race'' for over a year, which even then failed to beta test a game.

Some of us have standards, y'know?

[snip] but having to download the day 1 patch plus the 500MB update is completely unacceptable for the hundreds of thousands of players that need to do this. While the issue may have been due to a problem on Sony's end, the lack of an official announcement by ZoS regarding the issue is unacceptable at this point. Again, this issue may be outside of ZoS' control but the least they can do is officially address the community and keep us updated as it becomes resolved, or inform us how this same issue will be avoided in the future.

I see another maintenance thing tomorrow for another 5 hours.

Never in the history of console gaming have I had to babysit a download lol
Imagine all of the PS4 players who don't check the forums are like 78 hours to complete dowload [snip] *throws controller*

It's not on Sony's end. They used to stack patches where each download would have previous patches so every new patch would increase in size, but it's not like that anymore and hasn't been for quite some time.

This is 100% on ZOS and they are insane if they expect people to download the 15 gigs every time they release a 500mb patch.

Yeeeeeaahhhhh! the pause/ restart is rolling again!!! 61 minutes left. Spread the word my brothers, reach out to the four corners of our great nation.. The age of the pause and restart is upon us! Do not say "it doesnt work" until you have done it about 50 times, eventually you will break the consoles spirit and it will do your bidding!

Mitchblue

Was at 61 minutes then to 73 minutes to 83 minutes. If you could all pause your download I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

jaredhatter01_ESO

Just traded my copy in at Gamestop. Wasn't the only one either today doing it. Purely anecdotal I know. This game is great, but practices like this aren't worth it for the console crowd. To those who stick it out, my hat goes off to you!

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 am currently at 19 hours remaining. I don't have the best internet living in a small town, but I can download certain files at 2gb in 20-30 mins. Less than 1gb an hour is total BS, I have a feeling the gimped speeds are server side and not the result of an individual's internet connection.
I have been sooo addicted to TESO the last couple of weeks, and loving every second of it but TWO 15gb downloads in roughly 2 weeks is ridiculous. Kinda regretting getting ESO Plus now...

Quite the opposite for me. Im down to 10 minutes left.

I have the mortal kombat update in queue as well and if I pause and restart or alternate them it seems to work.
It is 2 mbps now.

Apparently it's wrong to roleplay in.. a roleplaying game. I love that quote though. ''Better to remain silent and thought a moron than to speak and remove all doubt''

I'm writing that down.

Oh yeah, sorry. I didnt mean to disregard what you were saying. Yeah thats what I thought as well, but my download literally got to a point where it was not moving at all. Most of the time if it says 8 hours you can guarantee it will only take like 3 or 4 or something but it did not seem to be moving at all. But you are right, if I were to be patient then it probably would have evened itself out anyway.

Thank you for explaining that to me.

No troll here bud just good ol natural humor of mine and odd you jump right to me been under aged.
I may be a child at heart but i dont think the outside would resemble it too well.


Also the post above is classed as a good bye post and will be modified soon.

I thought he deserved a friendly goodbye from archer and pals.

Honestly quite appaled by this.. I mean have they never tested how to patch a ps4 game before? Certainly managed not to screw it up on the Xbone..bur no, I don't mind spending the next 30 hours downloading information we apparently already have.

It's not like I have a game I'm waiting to play or anything...oh wait.

The start/stop thing doesn't really seem to work on mine, but then I have fairly slow internet speeds anyways.

But now about explaining to us why exactly it's this size? Yes we get all the previous patches, the ones we all did on day one. But why can't ZoS actually explain to us why?

Yet something else to add to the growing list of reasons NOT to play this damned game for me.
