Slow Game Download? A solution.

Soul Shriven
TLDR - download/update to the most recent version of Java.
After much gnashing of teeth today trying to download the game after installing the launcher, I tried all solutions available to no avail. This included port forwarding/triggering, changing my DNS server, rebooting my router/PC, etc.
Still I was only able to download at 20-40 KB/s, which is insane when I have a 50Mb/s connection.
After trying all of these things, I remembered that when I initially installed the launcher, I saw some message about Java, which I quickly dismissed.
I figured, hey, why not download the latest Java version (unfortunately,) so I did. After doing so? 7 MB/s consistent download - 60 Mb/s per the Task Manager, 10 above my "paid for speed."
Not sure why this worked, but I followed the same procedure on my Surface Pro 3 (we'll see how it runs on there) and had the exact same scenario. So it is worth a try!

At least it fixed it for you. Downloading the patches after the explorer's release and only on the first.. DL speed is 120KB/s but that might be my ISP. I have the latest Java.0 -
Vexian✭✭Night owl, didn't you say in another forum post that you have frontier Internet? That's probably part of the problem right there. I know in my area they offer frontier Internet and one other company (***) and I refused to get frontier because I knew how bad it is. Granted *** communication is t the best either but of my only choices I didn't go with frontier.0

Yes, but Frontier is all we can get where I live and my ISP's average is closer to 3Mbps download speed. I'm not sure what we pay for but I doubt we're getting it. Trying to get my father to call them and complain. We've been 'coping' with Frontier for around a year or two now..0

Vexian✭✭Yeah frontier did t even offer a download speed close to what I wanted. With *** I have a 150mbps Download and I have rage about 75-1250

Well with any luck, this 20GB patch is the only patch I have to download.. Doesn't look that way though.. 3% done, though the launcher probably hasn't applied anything yet?0
