Is this a glitch, or am I missing something?

I just bought this game. My download says I only have 10GB left to download yet the download progress bar says I have only 13% of the download complete. The original amount of data that the setup said I had to download was 27~ GB. Is this a glitch with the progress bar or do I really have to download over 100GB worth of stuff?

Its has been downloading for the last 5ish hours with 1.09-1.11MB per second.

Update: 7.7 gigabytes left and I'm only at 15% complete.

The completion amount includes both download and "expand to hard drive" amounts.

And it comes it weird stages. So you will probably get to around 20-25% download and it will switch to expanding the downloaded content. That will take you to around 50% completion. Then you do 10% more download, 10% more expansion, etc. This will repeat a few times and you'll finally get to 100%

Very confusing UI but it's for something that doesn't happen that often.

Well that kinda sucks lol, I was hoping there was just a display glitch with my progress bar. Thank you for the information.

Pretty much dead on. The installation happens in multiple sections, which will take the installation bar from 0% to 100% several times. We appreciate your patience with this and look forward to seeing you in Tamriel when everything finishes up!
